Hi all. I just pulled the trigger on the attached order and expect to have my first 12'wide x 14'long x 12'high (sidewall, 18' at at peak) greenhouse built and in operation by mid Febraury.... merry Christmas to me dammit. Lead time for the design and manufacture is about a month and then about a week to get it built I figure plus two weeks of contingency for Murphy :-p.
I decided to stay under 200 sqft per GH as I didn't want to pay the swag for a permit..... was gonna be like 3K just for the permit on the 20x24 that I was originally going to build.... now I plan to end up with 2 to 3 separate units, which will cost me more on duplicated motors and such in the blackout system when I'm fully built out.... but it also gives me some redundancy, which I'm a fan of.
I will hopefully order the first light dep system (another ~10K per greenhouse) at about the time I will start needing to deprive this Spring.... not ideal but this shit costs a grip yo. Here's a generic view of the greenhouse that I'm going with... picture the sidewalls 33% higher than they are in the pic and you'll have an idea how mine's gonna look hehe.... kinda Dr. Seussish. Has to be tall though to accommodate light dep and significant supplemental lighting and still leave you with enough canopy headroom. These greenhouses will have a full 8' high canopy before getting to the lights and light dep clockwork.
Ok, nuff talk. I'll journal as I go.
