Carport GreenHouse 2011

I have never seen any PM on my ivy, but I'll watch for it bro. I'll get a sulfer burner if I have to.

I have only given the Medi 1 shot of bloom nutes so far. It's easy to overdue it & she don't look like she needs much help right now. I didn't really do a switch-over period with 50/50% because Hodge said "no more N" and he gave me the seeds.

The PPPCP will start getting the 50/50 this week.

Today Hodge told me he knows someone using Maxsea @ 4tbl per gallon!
I don't have the nerve!

P.S. Thanks so much Hodge, it was great to see you today. And the rest of your clan, your blessed!
My wife don't know it but I'm having blackberry pie for dinner! LOL!

Thanks for the Smoked Salmon..

blackberry pie and smoked salmon, I've got the wrong network of friends!

saskatoon Pie and smoked trout for me come another month..... its a LONG time to wait when you know what your waiting for....

i just have to throw this out there incase anyone knows.... i've been looking for MaxSea in canada but i cant find it if anyone knows it would be GREAT to find. i figure it would be a step up from the Alaska fish ferts lol.

Hey double jj I was curious what cut of og your growing? Ive played around with a bunch of diff ones ( rp ogk, rp og18, deadhead og) and seem to like the og18 the best so far. Any others I should check out?

JJ got the plant from me and I got the seeds from a long time friend from Humboldt. I know who he got them from and they have been growing this strain since 85 down around Santa Cruz, not sure if he had these growing in Humboldt when we first met in 80 but he always had killer weed. This is my first year growing this strain so stick around for the harvest and smoke report.

Beautiful Salmon by the way in post #847. When we going fishing!?

You make a great point, they really don't look like they need it at the moment. Keep an eye out for that PM, but that good plant health should help keep it at bay. Not a deficiency in sight. Feels good man

And quadruple strength anything scares the living shit out of me.

Why even have the mesh walls. What purpose do they serve you?

doublejj said:

The walls are all mesh, air just blows thru.
I could set-up a fan, but no need. 100% mesh walls

This is a fantastic thread and am very glad I happened upon it. Last year, my first year growing, the ONLY problems I had were moth/worms and rain causing mold. This is what I was planning and awesome to see someone else already up and functional. I love the sharing of information. Where abouts to you grow? I'm not looking for specifics, just a general idea. I hae my farm located in the San Francisco Bay Area...east bay to be exact. The wet bay area air roles in some night..especially in the late season and it just creates major issues for growing outside. I think your set up would be a major step in solving my issues. Check out my girls on my profile if you like. 2011 Grow album....I'd post here but dont want to hijack you thread. Again, awesome setup!!!!

It's pretty simple, privacy & bugs.

I live in the city. I need some privacy for me to grow here. My neighbors live close. This carport doesn't scream GREENHOUSE!!

You cannot see thru it except up very close. If you peak over my fence, you can't see anything.

The moths/bud worms, can be brutal, well worth the work of putting it up, if only for that.

Rains will cause mold late in the season & the plastic top keeps them dry.

Does that drip irrigation really work just off gravity? Looks perfect...everything is thought out well!

Sorry,I should have read the whole post before commenting..... but where did you get the carport?

hi jj,

i must admit you work is amazing. i was wondering did you top them and how many times? is there any particular pattern you do?
and one more time .. amazing plants bro

Having a cup of coffee this morning & thought I should answer some questions. Thanks for keeping this thread active, I enjoy the exchange of information.

dralion, I looked at your grow pic's, beautiful job. I think a Costco carport would be just the ticket for you. & I think you could easely build it right over your plants. For what the carport has saved me in bud worm & bud mold loss, I would put one up if I lived in the middle of nowhere!

The drip reservoir is too small for these plants (10gl). It worked great though. I would need a much larger one. I put a pressure compensator on the drip system & just connect to the garden hose. I water with a timer. I've been giving them like 1hr a day!I hand fertilize.

All the plants were topped at least once, some twice. I topped everything soon after they were planted, because I have height issues. They would be much taller if I hadn't topped. A couple bigger ones got topped a second time, just cut the tips off all the longer shoots. I did this before they went thru the cage so all the new growth would spread out and go thru seperately. The Lavender I even topped a 3rd time!

I'm waiting on a delivery of plastic trellis. I'll be putting it on as they start to flower.

Have a great day

Just stopping by to say hello DJJ. I showed my bf the pic of you sitting in your jungle - he couldn't believe it! What a great place to hang out.

Does he know we've all seen your melons?

peace

P.S. I hope he brings his gloves when he comes to visit!

LMAO!!! He knows. He has many gloves...would love to visit. Maybe I can get a spray rig and start training him, too. hehehe

DoubleJJ i have a quick question before i do something stupid and burn my plants up . I know you say you say you start to give 50/50 when you see flowers forming
well on a couple of mine i see about 5- 10 pistils spitting out at the top nodes so i
figure its time to start doing that im using maxsea 16-16-16 and i have another one thats 3-20-20? so my question is are these the same two maxsea products that you are mixing 50/50 ? or should i continue with the 16-16-16 for about two weeks and then go full on bloom nutes ? (First time outdoor grower thanks for any advice JJ)

I just like to give them a little transition period, rather than just change over. Maybe 1 or 2 weeks. The times I didn't do it the plants seemed to get much yellower & lose more leaves just before harvest. I am trying to keep them a little greener at the finish. I think they are still using a lot of N at the begining of flower & they use up all their reserves before the end. You don't want to go too far with this. They need the bloom nutes during flowering.
