Jimmy the cook here's the close up pics of the greenhouse cover I'm using mate the first one is looking in from above u can just make out the scrog screen frame partly....the others are looking up from underView attachment 4452716View attachment 4452717View attachment 4452718
Fk yea i barely see the frame at all no flyin pig or flog be able to see in there unless they knew wat they were lookin an even then good luck to em. Having it not far off the ground acts like a black backgroind sorta thing as wen lookin up theres nothin stoppin the view. Either way i reckon i gotta find neself some of that

Fence is raised off a concrete border
I'm 6 foot if I stand next to the fence there's 2 foot above my head so the actual height is 8ft at top from dirt
Place is secure ...I have another fence on the outside of that one that's even higher ;)
2 dogs n cameras be my guest
There's a half acre to get thru on the outside just right for my 300lb xbow :)

Do any of yous do foliar feeds if so wat are yas using for it

and the grow shop was basically giving this stuff away so I picked up a bottle..

Apparently the silica helps the plants build thicker cell walls which can help with lots of stuff like pests and fungus to handling more wind and heat stress. My plants seem to like it. I just heard seaweed is good foliar so I tried it and I feel like it's true but don't have any evidence.
I use silica in my veg feed too. I don't use it in bloom though I've heard some people say it ruins your buds and I think they're onto something but haven't tested it enough to have a solid opinion on it myself.

Watch the silica in feeds. It’ll alter ph pretty easily even at low doses

I foliar feed nts’s cmb during veg and start of flower. Thinking about grabbing a few others to up my foliar game. Might even try foliar feeding in flower next run to try get more k into the girls towards the middle and end of flower without locking it out.
Sounds like ya foliar game is decent as it is. Wats that nts cmb stuff. Wen i started out an cause im a tight bastard i read that molasses was good for the plants so i started using that while the plants were youngings. Probably should of grabd something decent yonks ago ill get onto it for me next grow though

Yeah you just have to add it first then pH it back down to under 7.5 before adding other stuff so it doesn't bind with the calcium or some shit is that what you're talking about? I only microdose it @ 0.5ml/3l and it takes my pH from 7.5ish to 9 or something (only got drops)

Nutri-tech solutions (nts) is the brand @Saffasteve got me onto them. They sell ag grade nutrients. Cmb is the product (calcium magnesium boron) I like it because of the cal/mag ration is higher than most hydro lines and I’m mostly trying to push the calcium.

There’s a few other products of there’s I want to try as well.

Yeah that’s it. Could probably get away with just foliar feeding it
