Nice..
Wondering I am covering with just panda plastic cover 7pm, uncover 8am..
A few leaks, but only during twilight hours
35 days in seems fine. its pitch dark most of the time
Is 12 hour total dark really necessary as in nature the moon and start do provide some light at night.

My personal belief is that you need more stress than just minor light leaks to get a herm situation, unless the genetics are fucked in the strain you are running.... but that's just my opinion and you know what opinions are like right?

Thanks bro, doing ok. I had a catastrophe late last year though.... greenhouse burned.... at least as much as a metal building can burn. In a freak deal, I had a GE dehumidifier going and it shit the bed somehow and caught on fire... no plants in the GH... fire department came and the whole deal. Fire chief asked me what I was growing as he was looking in the GH and seeing my lights hanging and the curtain clockwork.. he might have been an ok dude, but I was not in a mood to be fucked with so I told him "anything I want" - he didn't like that answer and a cop showed up shortly thereafter. Cop asked if he could come on premise, nice guy, like I said, no plants were in the GH, I had just harvested. So I didn't ask for a warrant or anything, just showed him around. He told me I was under suspicion of growing marijuana in the greenhouse... I shrugged and said I don't see any marijuana - he smiled. He was cool and left after walking by my shed which had (9) 25 gallon pots with the stumps still in them and misc leaves scattered about lol. Never heard a peep out of the city...

I rebuilt the greenhouse... better than it was before. This time, the double wall poly panels are frosted so you can't see in.... last go the panels were clear. Also, I tore out that spaghetti of flexible conduit running between the breaker box and control panel that I installed.. looked like shit anyways. None of my controls were damaged in the fire nor my curtain motor, lights even made it through.... They are grey instead of white but they work fine.

Want a quote for light dep system for those acre greenhouses? Just kidding. If you're doing light dep I hope you consider buying with high enough sidewalls as the light dep system sucks up 2-3' of headroom if you hang lights inside the curtains.... and you will need supplemental light in BC if you are going year around.

Cool shot from the netcam after curtains closed. Blumats are dialed in, left them for a few days this week with no one looking in. Holding temps under 90 mostly... Gilz Nilz in the 45g pots look to yield well and with no supplemental lighting... interested to see cannabinoid test too as very frosty... can easily discern fat trichome heads on sugar leaves with naked eye. And the aroma is settling into a sweet pine fragranceView attachment 609734
