You sound like me lol. Growtech sucks ballsack. The whole reason I ever joined this site was because of your other thread "best light dep greenhouse". I think that was my first post so I'm sure you thought I was a idiot.We built a Gro-Tech over the last year. It's a nice solid building but their customer service is fucking terrible. So far everyone I've seen put up something like this has had their share of issues one way or another though. Having a good contractor and finding someone who had set up a bunch of the curtain systems and actually knew what he was doing helped a lot.
Now that it's up and running it works smoothly but we had to make a lot of 'on the fly' modifications and changes which resulted in a lot of extra time and wasted labor due to their shitty and inaccurate plans. Oh and never hire one of their dipshits (aka technicians) to come out and 'help'. We had one of their guys come out to supposedly set up the light dep system and all he did is jerk off on his phone and waste everyone's time.
The automation helps a lot of you still have to preform regular maintenance and keep and eye out for light leaks, etc. All in all though I'm loving ours, not having to be on site twice a day of months on end to manually pull a tarp has really been a game changer and a huge stress relief. You will still be affected by the seasons which is probably one of the bigger difference from indoor and certain strains will do better during certain parts of the year. The quality and appearance of the end product comes out just as good as any indoor.
Plants are looking great as well, here's some pics from a few days ago, we should be harvesting our first run of the year in about 3 weeks:

That greenhouse looks great and kind of familiar. Did you have a second tech come out to help?
Hey Ubi,Humbolt light dep. Com, I used a retro fit kit. Works great and doesn't cost an arm and leg
Called farmtek and Quoted 15k for light dep, spent less than 3500 to build humbolt light dep system.
I have built a bunch of growtechs and only had one bad set or curtains. The pinholes in the curtains are supposed to be defused enough not to effect the plants. ???? The super controllers are awesome.
are you guys selling those controllers? I was looking at one at the local shop and it's pretty basic with pre programmed open and close times. I wasn't really a fan of itI got sick of the controllers all the companies were selling, so I had my electrician build one. We added upper final limits so the curtain will not roll over the top and you can get you can roll it up a lot farther. They have digital timers and separate controls for each side. Pretty much plug and play we don't sell the motors.
