Force Flowering

Hey Rollitup. I am familiar with all the basic details of force flowering. With that being said, I am growing in a commercial cold frame Greenhouse. 30 x 100 ft. Height is about 15 - 20 ft.

I am looking for tried and tested methods to secure the Blackout tarp. I would also appreciate links, journals, or threads relating to force flowering outdoors.

There is a lot of junk threads to sift through. I have spent a good hour looking at different threads, and have found none of the info i am looking for.

Thanks in advance.

Bellow is a pic of last years crop for reference.

Secure the tarp with sand bags...? what do you need to know, looks like you got shit figured out...

With your height issue a golden arm seems unfeasible. So maybe rig a pole to winch against with a quad or truck, to pull that fat heavy tarp.

Or just grow full season plants in your EXTREMLEY TALL greenhouse.

buy/build a shorter greenhouse for light dep.

Sand bags... hmm. Ok.

I was planning on using tennis balls on strings to get the tarp across the greenhouse. I know a guy in nor cal who did it like this.

Im sure there are better methods though. There are automatic options as well. unfortunately our budget cannot afford the commercial automatic blackout option.

I forgot to mention that I am growing in Washington sate. A full grow season is feasible, but it gets messy towards the end because of the drastic weather changes. Force flowering seems like the best approach to maximize yield, and profit margins. A lot of flower floods the market at the end of the season, causing prices to drop.

I think some of the "European" marijuana forum sites have what you are looking for........I've seen a few over the years. I'll link you up when I have some time to search them down.
