LOL yea they definitely are noticeable huh :) The dog has about 4 inches till it touches plastic, so definitely need to get more dang blocks under the legs. Cant wait till next year and having a legit greenhouse and sell this dang carport.

everything is packing pistils, but stretch is no where near over...It never ceases to amaze me how they go outdoors. Been doing indoor to long, forgotten how outdoor plants GOOOOOO. Gotta love the power of the sun and good soil and good genetics.

I picked up my 1.5"4'x8' rigid insulation panels to frame my new flower room, and the grow store had a good deal on a co2 setup, got the tank and regulator for under 100. never used co2 in all my years growing, better late then never!

yea...I am worried to be honest. I know a lot of people love carport greenhouses.... personally I will never again grow in one again and cant wait to have this thing down and sold. There's nothing about them I like, not enough headroom, not sturdy or able to go into winter with one, and I don't think plastic can ever be tight and snug and clean looking when it is in multiple pieces. after seeing dr.d81s high tunnel build which he did for 1/4 the cost and at least 10x more sturdier and cleaning looking. and can be locked, that's the future for my greenhouse plans.

I'd pound some T posts and attach the corners. Those things can act like giant kites. I'm doing a high tunnel next year as well, no electricity so I need to roll up the sides and leave the ends open. High ceiling keeps the wetter air above those thick tops not in them.

yea I need to do that. I have anchors pounded in, but don't trust them at all. Tposts would be the ticket. I need to get the final height done, then t-posts will get pounded in.

Looking great. I thought your plants would have been a little farther along in flowering. Has it been 3 weeks flowering?

ya... it would appear the early part of stretch wasn't flowering stretch, just heat and sunlight stretch. Looking like everything is taking there sweet time. The sour cherry is furthest along, the rest are in early early flower so Id say an early sept harvest is looking more like late sept.

I added another level of cinderblocks, and also moved the greenhouse over a foot or so. now the row of big plants is more centered in the GH.

yea i found a local i trust that has a sulfur burner, gonna burn in the gh and the new rooms, and gonna get the dehumidifer out there, as well as the propane heater just in case. Need to pick up some more t posts, and get them in the ground and brace the greenhouse more. so much to do, so little time.,

Greenhouse is filling up! It's crazy how much they grow at the end of the season. Just when you think they're done they get another growth spurt.

Propane heat adds moisture to the air.
