Outdoor Pop22's 2018 Greenhouse Grow!

Update:

Well there is a new crop growing nicely in the greenhouse. 5 northern Lights autos and 7 Sugar Autos, All are grwoing nicley. I don't know what to expect, these are test strains. They are starting to flower in just the last few days.

The big Mataro Blue is still not flowering so, as much as I really hate to do it, I'm going to chop her to day, all she's doing is shading the smaller plants. I've got another indoors though and she's on 12/12 now so I'll still get to try some MB bud!

Update:

Autos are looking good! Might have mixed up some of the seedlings will know when the are further into flower. I suspect thew tall one you see in the first pic may be a sugar. Anyway you look at it, I foresee a nice harvest!

That tall one is about 4ft 6" tall!

Update:

Northern Lights fattening up nicely! Nice hard buds on them. Sugar autos also doing well, although I'm concerned about when a couple will finish. I have one that has more developed bud than the others. I've sert a limit of Oct. 15th as the final day, anything left gets chopped! I usually like to finish in Sept but these got planted later than I like. The NL looks like they'll be done in a couple weeks.

I started with a cheap one one of those clear with a green tint types. I was an 8x7x7. It worked but was falling apart by the end of the season. I bought another, same thing. Then I found these Shelter Logic greenhouses. WOOOO! What a difference! These are translucent, you can't see through them. My first thought was I'd have reduced yields. NO! In fact, my yields were much better! I high;y recommend Shelter Logic greenhouses!

As to grow style, well I started with just using potted plants but 3 years of hauling water and hand watering was enough. So I built a raised bed, 4'x8'x19" and filled it 1/2 way the first season ( that bed hold a LOT of soil lol! ) with organic soil, cow compost and Growmore organic boxed nutrients.

This year I expanded to 2 beds and grew all autos this year. Most were low yield strains but quality bud. Still, I've already harvested 1.5 pounds and expect at least another pound from these plants. I expect next years yields to be even better as I never added any nutrients to the original bed this year. I topped it up with 10 bags of Black soil and 1/2 a pickup load of composted horse manure.

To simplify watering, I bought a basic drip kit from Dripworks. For $50 you get enough materials to water 3-4 raised beds, hell of a deal I think! I added a water timer this year so now its also automated! I love it! Both beds are drip fed. I'm going to add dripfeed to my veggie raised beds next year.

And thats about it, pretty simple really. I keep it simple, that's how i like to grow.

I'f you plant by May 1st, you can get in 2 crops in my area. Three if you start some in pots and move them out to the greenhouse and place them next to or between the raised beds. These plants look like they may be able to come down by Oct 1st, any not ready them=n get chopped no later than Oct. 15th.

I'll get pics tomorrow, the NL is really fattening up!
Really looking sweet @pop22 :coffee::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Really curious about your greenhouse grows. I have the ability to do this but not the knowledge :shrug::shrug:

Sounds like you have a great set up @pop22


I built raised beds last year. 3- 4'x4' s. I need to look at those greenhouses thanks, man! :coco:
