Looking good mate!!
Do you water a lot in straight perlite? I see some tubing there, is it automated?
Wont pond liner make it an actual pond when it rains?New 6x3 greenhouse is finally taking shape today:
View attachment 5040816
Next jobs are:
1. Get pond liner down underneath it.
2. Run string lines to square-up the frame & anchor it down with saddles & tent pegs.
3. Collect some free concrete pavers from a local bloke to create a floor.
4. Run a double-line of bricks around the outside to hold-down the excess shell.
5. Install plastic pallets for free-drainage.
6. Design & construct a low-pressure, timer-controlled watering system from IBC's raised on a stack of pallets.
7. Find a cure for cancer & PTSD.
8. Mow the fucking grass!
Should only take me a few more hours.........
That look fantastic! Did you order online or buy local? I am in the market for a greenhouse myself and thought of ordering a kit but think I'll either build myself, or have a-frame built and cover with greenhouse plastic.New 6x3 greenhouse is finally taking shape today:

The one on the right looks like it resting it's weary colas after a hard day gettin fat.Here's some dopeView attachment 5043449
I had heavy-duty builders plastic down in the previous one to suppress weeds & it worked quite well. There was a bit of pooling due to hand-watering runoff, but it evaporated pretty quickly. Rain wasn't a problem as I'm on top of a mountain & everything just runs away.Wont pond liner make it an actual pond when it rains?
Online purchase from Evilbay. I bought another one, but the frame was flimsy aluminium (think indoor tent). It wouldn't have survived the first gust of decent wind, let alone the snow we sometimes get here. This is 25mm galvanised steel & should last several seasons until I can get a decent one in the final spot I have planned. Spent a bit more coin on it, but is probably worth the extra.That look fantastic! Did you order online or buy local?

Looks like you've got your ducks in a row! Have you finished this project? More pics would be great!
Its perlite hempy buckets, so I water every day or two, can go 3 days at a pinch, the tubing is the drain hole. No, i hand water.Do you water a lot in straight perlite? I see some tubing there, is it automated?

I'll post more pics up when I have something more progress to show.
I've got one on the way. I am gonna put it up down in the valley out of the wind (and out of sight) and I already have enough trouble with humidity so am leaning towards landscape fabric for the floor so the water can drain through. See how it goes.I had heavy-duty builders plastic down in the previous one to suppress weeds & it worked quite well.

The truth will never die.
What is the height at the apex of the greenhouse and does it have roll-up sides or windows for ventilation? Are you planning to run a fan or just go sides down or windows open for airflow?I had heavy-duty builders plastic down in the previous one to suppress weeds & it worked quite well.

Geotextile fabric would be a great solution in your situation. It'll keep weeds at bay & allow drainage, but it's not a long-term solution:I've got one on the way.

It's 2m at the apex. See above for ventilation.What is the height at the apex of the greenhouse and does it have roll-up sides or windows for ventilation? Are you planning to run a fan or just go sides down or windows open for airflow?
I can. Its been mental with all the rain then 2 days of sun and everything is going ballistic. Much lower humidity last couple days too thankfullyG'day folks. Been lurking and not posting - just learning with nothing to say.
I got mostly sativa strain on the outside grow in 3x35 litre pots - popped on Oct 1. Very slow growth (compared to last year) to get going - lots of cloud, rain and uncharacteristic humidity as high as 90% RH on one occasion. Past two days have been perfect here in Northern NSW. So I measured my tallest which I've topped once at 6th node. Soil to two cola's were 60cm yesterday, but 66cm today. Can you believe that?
