GrassMan - Would you mind telling us a little about your greenhouse?

Why the white plastic? Concrete underneath and keeps heat off?

What is your main service drop? 400amps? Several 400amp drops?

What is your drainage like around the greenhouse? Channel drains around the perimeter? Any gutters?

What bulbs are running in those lights? Are they supplemental or when the weather is bad can it drive photosynthesis?

You guys mess with the light cycles at all? Prolong or shorten the season?

Cannabis only?

Sorry for all the questions but you sir have your stuff down to an art. Thanks for sharing the pictures with everybody.

Hi,

^^^ Holy Shit :yoinks:
:faint: Incredible work GrassMan :faint:

:tiphat: Thanks

How many times a day do you irrigate?

What type of fertilizer do you use?

Have been irrigating 3 times a day and from last week 2 times.

Vegging with worm casting and slow release fertilizer ( http://www.perfect-blend.com/OrganicAg.html ) and some foliars.
Flowering will be by fertirrigation and foliars first 2-3 weeks.

On the floor there is double geotechnical fabric and the pots are insulated with insulating aluminium foil. I´m growing in the desert.

Service is 300 amp, I think.

No drenaige in the desert...

Lights are CFL white 23W, just to avoid flowering.

Me on cannabis but there are huge grow of date palms around.

Dam GrassMan I can see your green houses glowing from here. lol Aloha DB

Thanks.

Peace.

I like struts mans nutri rich , has 7% calcium from oyster shells and no litter...only pelletized manure. Works great. Only poop I use.

The perfect blend is much more nuanced once you look at it. The micros are a fantastic addition...I would bet 90% of formulas have some micro shortage. The Ca:Mg ratio is 10...how do you get that without manipulating it? And elemental sulfer is added to reduce pH.

I like the numbers but no talk I could find on the site about how the chickens are fed. I would want no part of factory fed chicken. The best part about stutzman is how those chickens are treated.

Anyway it is an interesting concept for sure. Especially when they add oily fish

looks like butte county is about to ban all OD growing….measure A is ahead of B by almost 9000 votes. pretty much gets rid of the cool plant counts we have and restricts all OD grows to only roughly 6 plants.


really fucking disappointed that fear mongering drug war BS like measure A is going to pass, it allows warrantless checks of properties for outdoor grows. thanks to all the fucking moron cartel and tweaker growers who messed it up for the rest of us. this area has a great growing climate and when CA goes legal would have been an awesome area to grow in.

I'm already hearing and learning some things that might even be a positive about prop A. basically they will have a harder time enforcing the outdoor grows, so those who play it by the book on the under the radar might have an easier time.


A little too early to know for sure, but its creating some good conversations. We are already learning new ways to get around this shit.

Butte county is on some archaic dumb shit, all the tweakers, lowlives, bums in this county, weed growers damn near gentrify this place. They will learn the hard way when property values crash, and revenues from everywhere like home depot to the local feed store go down.

Everyone else's prices will go up a little when Butte collapses like a flan from regulation. That's a positive for some ;).

Well said here and on Instagram. The other issue is the fact that a bunch of growers did not vote!! I just don't see how this is legal tnough?? It violates 215 smh
