My First Real Grow Thread! Socal Style!

[alotaball]

OG ive been getting 3-7 zips each depending on size and strain .. but for a better estimate.. I get about 1.5 lbs per a light. Thats growing 4-8 different strains at a time .. in soil. So if you went all hydro and a good yielding strain im sure you could push that to 2lbs a light .. So far I have been pretty happy with the yields ... Hope that helps

Your mom ! My green house is built out of wood ! No really it's doing fine. I got my walls and top from farmtek yesterday. Got 3 0f 4 walls on. The back one is the only one left and is protected.I'm glad I got the walls on though.I'll swap out the top when the rain stops. It's not by any means too cold outside yet uncovered anyways. Get some purps going. LOL ! It's not even that cold yet. Wind can be scary though if it's whippin. Temp/humidity is contolled as about as well as any outdoor grow. It is what it is ! I might run a heater in the winter @ 40 * and less or just move them in the garage. This winter time run will be big !

Pics look great you guys. Luv the OG's

[bonghittersanber]

they could come into my house and steal all our lcd tvs, computers, ipods and shit. im not too worried about the plants being taken its the shit in my house ya know.

TWS LOOKS GREAT!!!! we need to put plastic on ours i think for the the winter. yours is so secure cant get in and out. so hopefully you can catch any ass hole who comes by before they get in. it sucks that there are rippers but thats the way the world is.

 

[alotaball]

better get a strap son!

 

[TWS]

I'll be getting one ! probably a shot gun. I like em(rippers) messy. LOL.

Hey Bongs I have like 3/4 of a roll of 6 mil visqueen if ya ever want to cover your sides for the winter. The Bargin bin at farmtek has alot of cut sizes for great prices to.

 

[bonghittersanber]

nice tws ya we will need to do something for the winter. i dont believe in guns i don't like them either so i won't ever own one. but i don't know i might have to. nah i would never own one couldnt here at my moms house anyway. im not worried about rippers. im really not.

 

[bonghittersanber]

yup james i found 3 rolls of 6 x 20 for 17.10 shipped. so ima order it tomorrow morning. we can have the plastic for a curtain and can lift it.

Well I won't say I'm not worried about rippers cause that would be crazy to say but I wouldn't shot one unless I was in danger. I'm more worried about being unprotected in my home. I would of never had a gun in the house when the kids were small and they are grown now. Glad you found those Rolls at farm tek. I would of never looked in the deals bin but stumbled on it.

Guys that would break in your house believe in guns and own them.. thats why you must too ... unless you know karate .. that of course beats everything!!!

 

[bonghittersanber]

i dont think anyone will break in here.

Cool tent TWS! 4x4 or 3x3? Greenhouse looks secure as hell, I think if kids peaked over the fence they might just say "Oh fuck that!" lol. A round or 2 being fired off in the air is also a pretty damn fine deterrent. At my old house everyone in the community were scared to walk by, and children were not allowed to play around my house, lol. I rented that house from my dad and he was making fireworks in the garage as a hobby, the neighbor spotted him and got all scared and called the police, we had bomb squad, swat, FBI, hazmat, police, sherrif, fire department, fucking everyone. They heard the word "Explosives" and got a hard on, called up the wives, and said they would be home late. Fuckers. Anyways, I was able to grow plants on the hill in plain view for everyone to see and not a damn person would say a word to me or even look our way. That part was cool, the fact that it cost us 10g was not cool.

In other news, its cold as fuck up here. I might move plants to your place Andrew if it's cool with you. I'll throw you some nugs off each one, and they don't need much care they are almost done, so I can do it myself 2 or 3 times a week. I also have some tomatoes for you too, they are still growing, and definitely will not get to harvest up here, let me know if you are down.

Did you get snow ? Hey great story by the way. Pretty crazy and funny. That was a early cold snap for sure. Man ! Kinda scary with whats going down with the Feds and the collectives. I don't know if it's good or bad. One thing I do know is it will push it back to the streets and a 60-80 yr old patient will have the inconviences of having to find it safley. Canda wants to stop personal growing, Colorado is going down the Tubes. Where is Prop 215 going ? Voting season is coming up.

oh yea . It's a 4x4.

Sounds good!!!

I think I listed them all here.

Greenhouse Condensation
J. Raymond Kessler, Jr.
Auburn University​

Have you every walked into a greenhouse early in the morning on a cool, crisp spring or fall day, slammed the door behind you, and found yourself soaking wet? You look up to try to find the source of this indoor precipitation and see rows of big, fat drops of water coating the inside of the glazing. With a sigh, you walk among the benches of plants and observe a film of water coating the leaves, and maybe a spot or two of gray, fuzzy mold growing on a leaf or flower petal. Other than your discomfort, should this drippy deluge be a concern for the health of your crops? Certainly it should! High relative humidity at night and condensation cannot only lead to disease problems, but will also reduce light intensity. So, what conditions lead to this problem and what steps can be taken to prevent the problem?
A unit for measuring the amount of water dissolved in air that is familiar to most people is relative humidity (RH). Relative humidity is a ratio between the amount of water dissolved in the air to the maximum amount of water the air can hold at a specific temperature and atmospheric pressure. From a practical viewpoint in a greenhouse, atmospheric pressure changes will be so small that a constant pressure can be assumed. Therefore, greenhouse relative humidity is the current concentration of water in the air divided by the maximum amount of water the air could hold at a specific temperature, expressed as a percent.

Current water concentration in air
RH = _______________________________________ × 100, at constant temperature
Maximum water concentration the air could hold

The discussion above assumes a specific temperature, but temperature within a greenhouse change under various conditions, e.g., day to night. Suppose that a container of water is placed within an enclosed space (similar to a greenhouse), water molecules evaporate into the air of the enclosed space until equilibrium is reached (similar to plants, floors, etc. evaporating water in a greenhouse). At equilibrium, the air is saturated with as much water as it can hold. When the temperature of an enclosed volume of air at a certain RH increases, the air expands and can hold more water. If no additional water is added, the RH decreases. Conversely, when the temperature of an enclosed space at a certain RH decreases, the air contracts and can hold less water. The RH increases as long as water does not condense out of the air.
Figure 1 shows the relationship between RH and temperature and is called a psychometric chart. For an example of this relationship, suppose the temperature in a greenhouse is 70°F during the day and the RH is 40% (small dotted line). If the temperature at night drops to 60°F, the RH increases to 50%. Conversely, a 10-degree increase in temperature will decrease the RH. In reality, the amount of change in RH is about 2% for each 1°F change in temperature.
Now suppose the temperature in a greenhouse is 75°F during the day and the RH is 50%. If the temperature at night drops too just below 45°F, the RH will increase to 100%. Any further temperature reduction and the concentration of water in the air will rise above the saturation point and condense as water droplets. This is called the dew point.
High RH in a greenhouse is important in relation to the incidence of several foliar diseases, especially Botrytis and Powdery Mildew. Powdery mildew spores germinate best a 95% RH or higher. However, low RH and high temperature are needed for fungal maturation and spore release. Diseases related to high RH are usually more common in the spring and fall when environmental conditions are highly variable. Diseases due to high RH are usually not a problem during the heating season because raising the air temperature using heat lowers the RH. Air vented into the greenhouse during the winter may be very moist, but is also very cool. Heating this moist, cool air reduces its RH. In the summer, the RH of outside air is usually lower than the air in the greenhouse, so ventilation is the most practical means of lowering inside RH.
The spring and fall often have warm, bright days and cool nights and the moisture content of the outside air is high. In the early evening as temperature drops, ventilation does little to decrease the inside RH. As the temperature drops at night and ventilation stops, the RH can be very high even though the greenhouse many not be cool enough to require heat.
Leaf temperatures during the day are usually a few degrees warmer than the air temperature because they absorb sunlight. After sunset, however, the leaves may radiate heat through the glazing to the cooler air outside (radiation cooling) resulting in leaf temperatures below the greenhouse air temperature. At high RH in the greenhouse, the dew point is reached in a thin boundary layer of air around the leaves and a film of water forms on the leaves. This free water is an invitation to diseases.
The best way to prevent water from condensing on leaves during the spring and fall is to provide constant internal air circulation and, if necessary, heat the greenhouse for a short period of time in the evening with a ventilation fan running. Internal air circulation from horizontal airflow fans or similar methods prevents formation of a saturated boundary layer around the leaves and thus prevents condensation. If high RH is a serious problem, place one ventilation fan on a time clock so that it will turn on about 8:00 or 9:00 PM in the evening. The fan should run just long enough to complete one air exchange of the greenhouse. The warm, moist air in the greenhouse will be removed and replaced by cooler, moister air from the outside. The cool outside air should activate the heating system and bring the greenhouse air temperature up to the set point. The moist, cooler air from outside will warn-up and have a lower RH.
During the winter, the temperature difference between the greenhouse air and the outside air can be large. The glazing material loses heat rapidly and becomes cold. Warm, moist air circulating over the inside of cold glazing can reach the dew point and water condenses on the inside of the glazing material. With glass, condensation dripping is usually not a big problem because of the surface tension properties of glass. Water tends to spread out into a thin film on glass. However, the surface tension properties of plastics are such that condensed water very quickly forms large drops that can rain down on crops in the greenhouse. This problem is especially serious in houses covered in polyethylene.
Covering the greenhouse with two layers of polyethylene and creating an air space between the layers by inflation insulates the inside layer and reduces the temperature difference between the outside and inside. Internal air circulation and heating the greenhouse with a fan running in the evening also helps. New polyethylene products have been developed with a special coating on the inside to reduce the surface tension and thus reduce dripping. Be sure to install this kind of polyethylene with the coated side toward the inside of the greenhouse!

Good post TWS. I might need that later, I might just build a mini greenhouse to finish these things off. Transporting them at this point would be pretty damn tough without a big roomy truck with tinted windows. Which I have but it has a busted leaf spring that has swung out pretty damn close to the brake line, and I am not comfortable driving that around.\

Btw Vote for Jigfresh, he's our local!

Hellooooooooooooooooooo ? Bongsssssssssssssssssss ?


Kinda quiet around here.

PM me Bongs.

Jozi I need to Pm you. LOL

wheres the Pedster ? I need to find more time to hang out. I mighta forgot how. Gonna ride together for sure. I know !

Alota, Your awfully quiet latley. You must be growing something good.

OGkushtress,fumble,Djj,wheezer,KMK,wheres Luger been too ? who else am I forgetting.

Must all be busy trimming.



I took down two of my film walls for air flow cause it was to humid and theres a hot spell coming. Not time yet for full encloser.

This is Green too! and pretty dank !

 

[fumble]

What's up TWS! Love the pic.

 

[Gopedxr]

Whats up everyone! Been very very busy but havin fun! Santa cruz is a cool place. Drove up to lake oroville checkin out some stuff going to get some work done tomorrow. Hope everyone is well and i should be back home this week. whats this camping trip i herd about?

 

[Jozikins]

Do they have Oroville Popcorn? lol.

TWS, I need to stop by soon and check out your progress. Your grow is really exciting to me, you got a lot of action going on under that piece of plastic. How are those Sour D's filling in? I tell you what, those beasts keep filling in like I hope they are and you'll have a picture that puts that old hippy to shame. Super mega colas growing in that greenhouse.

But we all need to hang out soon, I may be moving away by November or sooner, I have a interview today in Irvine and I have a good feeling about it. Fancy living, here I come!

The Sour D's look like that one pic of the bud the old man is holding and of the pic of the ball bud in the hand too. It's gnarly over here. Paranoia has set in and it's scary. They frickin stink to high heaven at times and both of my neighbors said it smells wonderfull. Crap! Their cool I kick em down but I know they stink up the whole neighbor hood. I'm borrowing a peace maker from a friend.
Jozi When you get a chance I could use some professional Scope action. I just wish these damn things would finish. LOL Hey your not moving that far away! Just on the other side of the Ortega HWY. Instead of coming down the Mountain you just go over the Ortega, Right ? yepp!

Hope Bongs is OK haven't heard from him.Anyone Else ?

Goped, quit playing with the Hippie chicks and come home. LOL. Oh yea, Bring some Hippie chick trimmers back with you. LOL.

Im home today guarding the grow.
