Thx blackie.. next up is building the end walls and ordering the plastic .. it should be covered within a couple weeks .. I'm also going to run power and water out there but that may not get done until next season .. all told though, I'm happy I built my own instead of the greenhouse kits I was looking into at the beginning of the season .. this will end up coming in at about 25-30% of the cost and I was able to pull off a 12' height ... that doesn't come into play much this year, but next year I'll be making a lot of changes and expect them to be much biggerMan, that hoop house is gonna be the shit.

I'm hoping it'll cut down on the anxiety that creeps in every september... even the morning dew would gross me out ... I'll be thrilled to finally let them go as long as they needyou got plenty of time I run early mid oct most yrs here in maine.with your cover bet u can get to the end of oct easy.soon as I see couple days of rain coming mine is getting covered.

Oh man...what a nightmare that was last year. There's a few other dudes in here beside myself that were contributors to that thread and you arent kidding. It was a tough time. Haha...Hi all!
New here, but followed the New England Outdoor thread last year. Got hammered with bud rot and bud worms last year just like most growers in New England. Decided to try my hand at growing some autos early to avoid those damn September rains. Threw an Alaskan Purple auto I got as a freebie from Seedsman out around June (would have put out earlier but it was fairly cold in May).
Not too much on her, but feels good to have some bud nearly done with no bud rot on it! Definitely going to do a full batch of autos early in the season next year. How long do you guys think she’s got?

run power out there this yr, you will need a couple 24in fans at least once you put the poly on gotta keep them buds moving 24-7Thx blackie.. next up is building the end walls and ordering the plastic .. it should be covered within a couple weeks ..

Yea, it seems airflow would be the number 1 factor once they are all enclosed like that. I imagine you could keep the ends open and position the house so the wind has access. But still...I'd have massive hollywood stunt fans out there. Haha.run power out there this yr, you will need a couple 24in fans at least once you put the poly on gotta keep them buds moving 24-7

Thanks.. always good advice from you guys. I should have been clear though... I'll have power out there, and will be running fans, but most likely it will be off of extension cords this year. The long-term plan is to bring two dedicated 20A circuits out there. I already have more than enough romex laying around, and I'm able to do it myself, but it's kind of a long run from the panel. It'll only be about 15' of trench, but I just don't anticipate having the time to get it done this year. The fall is my busy time of year.Yea, it seems airflow would be the number 1 factor once they are all enclosed like that.

Damn...you are prepared. That's gonna be a serious operation you got there. Cant wait to see it up and running.Thanks.. always good advice from you guys. I should have been clear though...

For ventilation I'll have several options. I'm installing a 24" greenhouse fan above the doorway and a vent on the other end. This will be connected to an in-line thermostat and it's primary function will be to keep the dome from collecting too much heat. I have 4 brand new double hung windows that have been just taking up space in my garage. I'm putting 2 on each end wall, in line with each row of plants. This time of year I'll probably just pull out the sashes and leave the screens in. The door is a storm door that has a sliding panel with a screen also. I also have 2 good-sized pedestal fans that will keep air moving around the plants non-stop.
I also have a great dehumidifier on wheels. It's primarily used to dry out water damaged homes and basements. Last year I dried in my basement, but that time of year its always 70-80% humidity. I ran the dehumidifier and within a few hours it dropped the humidity to 35-40% in a 1400 sq ft space. It works well. I don't plan on running it all the time but on rainy days and near the end I'd like to dial it in to keep the greenhouse right around 50-55%.
Nice! And you could still end up with a decent haul. I've seen plants that size get some fat flowers. And with them being that manageable you will be able to keep them very happy and safe...which means high quality end product.It's finally starting to look like the plants are flowering now. Looking thru photos it appears most of the growth outdoors occurred just within the last month, next year I won't put them outside until the 2nd week of July since in June it appears all they did was sit there and get beat up by bad weather. I'm glad they are this size, I keep bringing them inside when there's bad weather. View attachment 4379234 View attachment 4379235 View attachment 4379236
shit man those buds look great, I've never messed with auto's but these plants have convinced me that I shouldI moved the Double Grapes out of the tent and inside. Now they are in a dark room with an AC running to finish up. We will see what happens! Took a few quick pictures outside. First time I've seen them under natural light. Haha

Not bad for plants that were still seeds on June 7th!
Yea, that's the Ruderalis genes (that make it an auto) being expressed.shit man those buds look great, I've never messed with auto's but these plants have convinced me that I should
question... the 3 fingered leaves ... are they a result of revegging or is that typical with autos? Normally I may be concerned that the buds could be lighter and stringy on a reveg ... but these definitely don't look that way
