Rainbow Trout, Green bud, and Bluegrass
I've got a first time grow thread going over in that forum: Another AK Newbie First time Grow. .
But wanted to start a thread here to document my greenhouse grow.
First the greenhouse - it is built out of old re-purposed windows. . My wife asked me to build it for such a long time. I drug my feet, but glad I did in the end. Now I get excited just tinkering and finding ways to make it more efficient and hold heat longer.
Inside, we've got six "vertigrow" towers. We use them primarily for tomatoes on top and cucumbers and squash on the bottom half. We've got about 40 tomatoes planted (1/3 cherry, 1/3 stupice, and 1/3 'subarctic plenty').
Anyway, I have two starts of Dutch Passion Frisian Dew they ready to go in. They just sprouted this week. I'll keep them under the LED for another week or two before moving outside.
Also my buddy Darsh, had an Onyx that was showing it's more Sativa side of things and was getting too tall for his space, so we've added that to my greenhouse to finish her off. I am pretty excited to see how things work out with her. Since she's in a smart pot, I tend to move her around following the sun, while hiding a bit behind the towers and in corners so as not to be too obvious!
The greenhouse is a little sparse now, but it won't be long until those tomatoes turn it into a jungle. While daytime temps are around 55 degrees outside, the greenhouse is getting up to 90 on sunny days and high 70s on cloudy days. I have a simple space heater in there at night, though temps are staying around 40.
All in all things are coming together and thank goodness for the new laws here in AK.
