Right guys!, It's set to be a very busy season but I'll get the ball rolling :)

First shots of plants in a greenhouse, This section of the green house is 2.4 metres width x 4.8m length, it will be expanded to 3x the width 7.2 metres, and then a smaller lean-to add on is planned.
Still a fair amount of work to do on them, but right now in this spot they are getting 9 hours of direct sunlight approx.

Bigger plants in the back of the Ghouse are the breeding rejects from the f2 indoor grow. Toof Decay, Alien OG, OG ghost train haze, Triangle kush, Sour orange diesel kush. Plants in the foreground are 24 carat.

Grow info:

24 carat fems - 14 of.
20 were started indoor under 400/600w hps in 2.5 litre square pots.
6 were selected as candidates to reverse to make more feminised stock, the 14 here will be for sensi only.
Today was day 15 and all but one had sexed, female of course.

Transplanted into 18 litre poly growbags, I used a sprinkle of grotek 'black pearl' soil supercharger sprinkled into the area that comes into contact with the roots when transplanting.

No nutrients yet, just fed our well water.

The soil is our recycled mix, it's last years indoor soil put outside into a tarp. The first load into the tarp is over 6 months old, the newest is around two months old. There's some expanded clay pellets in there. Also being outside some earthworms found their way into the pile. It is nice and rich with a great texture.

I'll see how little I can get away with feeding them.
I would prefer to top dress the soil with some guano and worm castings, as we plan to have a dripper system in there and liquid organic nutrients can clog the pipes pretty quickly.

The same as above will happen with another strain, chem city blues, early next week.

The weather is pretty changeable right now, april showers. But, as long as there are more sunny days than rain, then i'll be happy.
Hoping to get the plant cam in there soon.

Cheers and all the best to everyone else :)
 
oo the plant cam! :niceshot:

karma that weather stays sunny

Really liking that space too dude! it looks so cozy in there
can't wait to see the attachments you're talking about

I'm doing the same outdoors by just topdressing and it is working great.
What are temps/humi like in there? Do you rotate the plants?
Also, could several small fans for circulation be beneficial? Sorry for buggin' hahaNever grown in a greenhouse myself
but sometimes considered it.

We only put the roof on today, just to give plants some shelter, as the breeding rejects are pretty budded up, and i'd just stuck them outside, I didn't want them to get pounded by rain :)

The construction is timber frame, with chicken wire/mesh surround, so the plan is to use velcro and have each side panel of material (white/transparent tarp) able to be rolled up to allow airflow and direct light.

Last year we had circulatory fans, so i'm sure we will implement them this year too. just need to run a power line from the house. There's a big
to do list, very much a work in progress, however they needed to go outside for new things to be started inside, so come what may :)

Hopefully the plantcam will be awesome outside, it had the nasty hps yellow indoor, we thought about attaching a filter over it, but were just too busy.
And the memory card ran out half way through, anyway you live and learn :)


Hope you guys have a great summer...:Sharing One:
keep the pics coming ... :niceshot:

Thanks mate, count on it :)
 
Hey guys bit of an update, 13 days since the last update.
Progress wise, for all intents and purposes the greenhouse is now 'finished', we will be making updates to it as the season progresses but the main structure, door, and material is complete,

Pretty happy, using last years materials, we only had to spend 50 euros on some extra tarpaulines.

Here are the 24c -

They have been on plain water only, I top dressed them with a handful of wormcastings earlier.

A little closer:

The weather has been mostly decent! , I plan to make the sun facing side of the greenhouse roll up, so hopefully they can get some unadulterated sun soon.
I worry slightly that the tarpaulines diffuse too much light, but we will see.

Here are out seedplant photos that we're trying outside this year, just transplanted and put in the greenhouse yesterday.
