Whats up Guys?
So just have one question about a hoop house with no electricity. I have tried to put up a carport over the girls, that proved impossible as the girls are almost 8-9 feet and a carport is rather heavy.. Tried to make a canopy from the trees that surround the garden with T posts, but with 2 people that was also a gnarly challenge to pull a 30x 40 tarp over the plants without destroying them and getting the canopy to not touch the plants. So Going to try and construct a hoop house this weekend.
I’m just really trying to avoid bud rot cause it appears Vt could be in for like a week straight of rain and feel like i need some sort of cover.
Have 15, 8-9 foot plants now in a space of about 20x25. So i’m going to try to put a hoop house together over them.
Going to drive 1.25 inch PvC pipes into the ground, that’s where the arches will sit in.
Then i will couple 1 inch pvc together to make 40 feet. If my math is right that should be big enough to be about 9 feet tall and cover 20 feet. Going to make a few arches.
I wasn’t planning on making any 2x4 perimeter, is that ok?
Going to get carriage bolts to make sure the connection to the ground and pvc won’t go anywhere.
Going to order a clear tarp that i can keep on the hoop house.
I was going to keep like 3 feet open on each side on the bottom up for some airflow.
Then take off the tarp when no threat of rain so max airflow.
Any problems with this ?
They are like..5 weeks into
flower now, still a ways to go. Been vegging inside since like April lol
these photos are a few weeks old.
been shaking them out every am and after rains. not spraying anything.
Hoping covering during rain will help decrease some
bud rot and Pm
But have no acces to fans up there...
haha last thread i’ll
