So like today I didnt have any bracket material so I put that project on hold and thought I would finish plumbing the r/o to a res. When I went out there I noticed water on the ground by the drain line. Yep the drain line was still going. WTF it stopped before, like three days ago. Fuck that means I been dripping water at about 5 gal an hour for three days, that's like 360 gallons. Either the shut-off valve I have on the thing failed or it never worked at all. I ordered a check valve and a shut-off valve online for $20 delivered.

I layed out the 200 feet of 1/4 inch feed line along the fence to where the res is gonna go but Max got to it and chewed it up in a few places before I could bury it. Oh well, my bad. dogs will be dogs. If I cant find all the holes and repair it I will get some new line.

Hes getting better, he understands Sit, Stay and Easy but he doesnt understand "dont chew the fuckin waterline"

This was taken last night. The flash made his eyes green.
He's filling out, gained 5 pounds the last couple weeks.​

Well, the back grill is the housing for the hub unlike the other design that has a frame so I hadnt considered it but after your comment I went and looked at it again. I think I could do it that way but I would destroy the grill and no way to make it a fan again. Thants no biggie really, I would still have about 3/4 of an inch clearance, thats too much but I could bend the blades then.

Time to medicate and think about it.
I did find some old aluminum L brackets I think I could fashon into a bracket though.

The end result I want it to look like is an extra garbage can.
When I need it I take off the lid and plug it in. Then when I'm not using it stored next to the other cans.

Good idea. But as you may know, be careful bending the blades, you don't want to throw it out of balance and then make a terrible sound or wobble badly. You still have a few medicating sessions to think it over before it is needed!

[FONT=&quot]Now its really budding, The stalks are getting stronger and harder to bend. Smells great, after training my hands and forearms are sticky.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] Im afraid I am running out of room though. Each day I see buds hitting the roof. I keep pulling them back but soon there will be no place to pull them to. I know, you wish you had my problems huh.

Although its turning out about what I planned. The upper area all buds and all but I would have liked a bit more clearance. From now on I will keep them shorter. I would cut some tops off now if I thought it wouldnt freak out the plants but now I read I could slow down the flowering process. maybe herm or stretch. any input on that?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot] Its been 10 days now since the last spidermite bomb. Its time to set of another one, I see some mites on the blue dreams again.[/FONT]​

Hey Cruzer, all I can say is "DAMN!" love how fat the stocks are and I think i know how you can get the fan working as a trimmer easily. Most metal blades fans can be taken off and turned around so this would allow you to keep the motor and rear housing together and you would only have to modify the front grill. I had a fan almost like the one you picked up and the shaft the blade was on allowed you to moved the blades closer to front or rear so that may allow you to adjust your gap to a good depth. And that fan already has some good features with the two adjuster nuts on the sides as brackets when its in a garbage can.

Been lurking this thread some time, didn't think you needed any more "WOW, awesome stuff" comments lol. You think you will be plant later on next year? Just incase you do run out of room?

Credit where credit is due, this is an awesome greenhouse man.

Hey bud, yea I guess thats true.
Funny thing though, Now I go a couple days without an "atta boy" and I wonder what went wrong?

To answer your question, yes, at least a couple weeks because May 1st I got 13.5 hours of daylight and a couple flowered on me. I wouldnt want to wait too long. May 15th I get 14 hours so anytime after that and I should be ok. The size really isn't the issue because next time around I will be pruning a lot more. I didnt top these girls until they were 4 feet tall. I think if I start with half the amount of plants and start topping at about 2 feet tall and continue to do it for 4 to 6 weeks they will bud at about 5 or 6 feet.

Any comments or questions are welcome, this is how I can share my experiences and learn from others without disclosing my location and adding to the possibility of getting ripped off. So all you lurkers out there, Its cool to post. I dont bite. Max does, we are working on that.

Last night I set off another DR doom fogger. I closed it all up, set it off and went to bed right. Not good. I went out there this morning and everything was soaked inside. Not so much the plants but all the walls and ceiling panels were soaked from humidity of the plants. I opened everything up again and in about an hour the moisture was gone. I gotta remember to open it up after setting off a fogger. Lesson learned.

So today I went to tie them back again and I noticed the blue cheese had a tie from a while back that I forgot about.
It seems to have slowed down the growth on the main stem and the others got much bigger. Heres the tie.



See what I mean, Heres a closer shot.




The back of it,




Well, I untied it. the yarn was about 1/4 into the stalk.





Back,



Gnarly shit huh.
I wonder how tall she would have been without the tie?

No shit man, as it is that plant starts in the back corner of the greenhouse and reaches more the half way across. Long ways.
Hell, all I needed was two of those and prune them right and they would have filled this thing.

OK I tied them back once again. I tried to get a shot of the canopy here from inside,







I held the camera up and shot. 2 out of 6 came out.
Its hard to get a still shot with all these fans in here but here is a good one of a bud I tied back today. Saved another one!













See how fast its filling up, those other shots through the roof were just a couple days ago. I think I got the center filled.

Oh, and yea thats a piece of PVC holding the vent up. I broke the spring fucking with it and cant get to it to fix it now.
I should have left it alone till after harvest.​
