Hey everyone, first time posting here but I've been lurking and researching for the past year(missed starting last season due to not getting supplies in time and a broken leg preventing me from reaching a safe grow spot). This time around, a partner and I have invested in a relatively low scale legal medicinal grow. The plan is to grow a 4 plant scrog using hydroponics in a homemade "greenhouse". for the hydro set up, we are using a 66L Rubbermaid "food-safe" tub as the water reservoir that will be shaded to keep temperatures down. We have water line running from this to an Autopot SmartValve in another smaller, shallow Rubbermaid tub with 4 bottom fed pots in it. For a grow medium we are going to use a 60% coco coir to 40% perlite mix. Nutrients wise, we have Flora Micro and Flora Bloom for veg, swap Flora micro for Dr. Hornsby's Big Bud and add Dark Energy during flowering. The reason for not growing indoors is we have no space and the sun in our area is better, and the greenhouse is just to protect from nosy neighbors. the greenhouse is 5 foot by 5 foot and 6 feet tall. I was thinking of putting the screen at 2 feet( i've heard a few times to put it at 1/3 of the height you want), but for hole size wise, I'm not sure what to do. Also, we are still in the process of deciding the strain(s). part of me wants to go crazy and try 4 different strains, but part says just stick to one because it'll keep everything similar. Our first choice right now is Girl Scout Cookies, but we haven't found much grow info on them(smell is a concern). Any suggestions for strains? We have local dispensaries we can get clones from, so there are lots of options. How does our plan sound? Any tips, criticism, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
edit: forgot to say, we were going to cover the greenhouse to give the plants 12/12 once about 80% of the screen is filled. from my understanding, it isn't worth letting nature switch to 12/12 if we dont want the plants to going to keep getting bigger. any thoughts on this idea?
