Thanks for that. I've been ordering from BaS also. Ohana pissed me off initially, mostly because of my own ignorance, but I've pretty much stopped going there because of all the bottle feeding.
As we speak my plants are sitting out in the rain, in fact, I get mad every time I hear it start to rain lol.
It looks like your GH cover extends to the ground? Does that work better in terms of humidity rather than one with open or screened sides? I realize you'd have to circulate air somehow.
Sounds like you are well on your way to a self-sustainable grow, right on. I gotta get my neem tree in a better spot and take care of it, I bet composting its fruit would make an excellent amendment.. IDK what happened to that SeanDawg guy, but he harvested his own seaweed as an amendment and I still want to know what kind.
Hope Pele doesn't ruin any of your plans.

My GH has screen on the sides and end with a screen door. It does hold humidity and airflow is stifled, but it keeps some bugs out. The bugs that do make it in are predator free and tend to take off(mites, aphids) so extra care has to be taken as with any synthetic environment.
A simple cover might be all you need.

It's always fun to play god in a controlled environment lol. I'm putting up a tent soon hopefully for the aquaponics setup. I just have to remember not to plant up to 30gal smart pots that are impossible to carry wet and there will be extra room under that tent. Kind of excited to see how the mj plants like the AP water.
Anyone else run aquaponics? Perhaps mj in AP?

Lmao. Visiting family in the mainland and an uncle has a 125k gal in-ground pond stocked with catfish and bluegill. Some great times were had sharing their backyard herb and booze while catching and frying up some catfish... They were inspiring people to say the least. I also picked up two 300gal stock tanks on sale at dels and just got my pumps in the mail. Going to run a simple setup with just one tank at first and expanding into the other tank as the system matures.
Jealous as hell of that GH, I was trying to see how many ganja plants I could find haha...

I read that you dont get the proper flowering nutrients in the aquaponics systems, and adding them in is not good for your fish. So maybe just keep your cannabis seperate from the system and water with the aquaponic water when desired.

The house we just bought has an old in-ground pool in the yard. Theres water in it, underneath all the grass that growing out of it. I thought of turning it into a giant aquaponics set-up or some kind of fish pond...but that wont be happening for at least a year or so.
Also been checking out these guys blog where they just framed up the top half of a greenhouse around their pool and the deep end is an aquaponics system and they grow all their food in the shallow end. Kinda cool. I havent studied aquaponics too much...my buddy on Oahu was growing some MJ out of his but his plants were super tiny, like harvest 4 grams tiny.

@TheGreekone I don't mean to be a smartass but it has been done with excellent results. There are examples scattered about the internet, though I'm talking about personal experience. I assume you mean adding chemical nutrients when you say it's not good for my fish, otherwise it's as easy as making tea. Don't get me wrong though, that fish tank water is going to be used all over the garden...
@kalo Your new location sounds great, my friend. So does that AP pool, ingenuity indeed.
All I've got going on ATM, bugs have been ravenous...

What's up rookie808, your plants have minor damage but they will be fine... Just keep the bugs in check, I'd look at neem foliar applications and/or AACT. There are too many factors involved for me to recommend anything definitive, but I also recommend growing organically if you don't already. Healthy plants with an active soil food web are naturally more resistant to diseases and pests.
