I really like this set up.... I may steal it for a small grow for my mom next year who wont be able to keep up with PM and stuff as well..., Im thinking about this size for one plant though, and maybe a tad bit taller, and a little narrower maybe.

this is approximately 10’x10’ and is honestly way to small for me. Great for one or two big plants but gets crowded. It’s right up against my porch so I have a place for fans out of the rain and electric if I need it, also water spigot is two feet away so it’s very convenient. I think it’s around 10’-10.5’ tall at its highest point But never measured.

I’m planning out a large metal-framed house large enough for 12 plants for next year: the time and aggravation that it will save me is well worth the expense to me. My time is worth $$, and extra time spent with my family is even more valuable than that. Picking up those snapped limbs in the rain yesterday 100% sealed that deal in my mind.

definitely a wise investment. A plus side to my enclosure is the many strong tie off points for branches. I have the plant bound very well and supported perfectly. I don’t worry about wind ever

it's raining here quite a bit today .. between the exhaust fan, dehumidifier, and adjusting the windows a bit I'm able to keep it between 66-70 RH all the time ... no signs of rot yet, but it's also impossible to get up top and check every bud ... other than the two early indicas in the front right I pretty much maxed out the available space
Whats the overall size of this? Looks like a good sized space.

16x30 ... the highest point on the ridge is a little over 12' from the top of the beds ... it's good enough in size for what I do... but no matter how big you build a greenhouse, you always wish you had an extra foot in every direction

That's friggin awesome! Me, well I'm out there with an umbrella just watching my shit get wet, and from across the garden I spot her. An eyeball sized piece of bud rot. Well, two brown sugar leaves sticking out a.cola
We all know what that means.
I long for the day.whem I could catch a eye across the room and it meant i was gonna get laid.
Sigh. My bitches have changed
Yeah I thought 6x10 would be tight but not bad, but I can barely fit two plants and realistically only one monster. I am looking to do about 40-45x15 next year. Try to get 12 in it and maybe train them better from the start. This year I waited too long.

When you're.ready.to grow, you grow brotha. It's what we do. This path is a bunch of stepping stones of knowledge, each one brings us into an improved direction.

Cut, washed and d and hung some smaller plants today that were ready znd some larger tops in anticipation of this bad weather. Noticed a couple new moldy spots of rot where worms had gotten in. I plan to leave about half out to see what happens but I think mostly done. G13 pineapple express did well by me this crop finished kinda early. Gave me six nice outdoor clones from topping first time I did that successfully. Will try next year as well. Stuff I trimmed on the 17th dry and partly cured I'm high as all hell. Cutting today mostly dense and dank ripe swollen calyx etc. Should be even stronger. Nap time

Do you dry outside like that? That is outside right? Or were you just trimming and then bringing them inside in batches or something?
EDIT: No judgement just curious. I've experimented with it in the past and was actually surprised at the quality. Although its much harder and can become brown or bleached if hit by the sun, But tobacco curing (a crazy process which I dont envy at all... imagine having to cure for years before smoking our harvests...) But they've got the biggest amount of research and resources on leaf/plant curing from hundreds of years of tobacco and cigar leaf curing, I believe they've found that the sun imparts some very unique flavors depending on whats left inside the leaves during harvest. Also, age and humidity... They also do heat curing which can be interesting as well.
Id be interested to know some other curing methods that are still long slow processes but just not jars in the dark at XX°F/XX%

I think I am just going to bring my little sad babies in for the night... Usually I place them underneath my patio, but with the winds, I will play it safe.

Went old fashioned and wrapped jute twine around branches - to support stakes - and back again to shore up my tall SFV OG(?) bag-seed mystery hybrid. It’s bud purpled during the last cold spell, and it smells kind of garlic-esque or like cheese or something???? Very odd! Some pistils starting to turn brown, so definitely my latest one - hopefully before end of October.
Below is another shot of my K.C. brains T.N.R.
I was gonna chop(I did hang 2 limbs that’s broke off in rain yesterday) but I’m going wait another week.
Garden shot: yep I used my tiki torches as stakes - mans gotta do what a mans gotta do!
