middle of august I order ladybugs. any sooner and they just fly off. but once the buds start forming, they stay and have babies. the larva eat more than the adults. I love raising ladybugs. I get 18,000 and there are enough to release some every day. the wife even bought me a small fridge so I would not have to keep them in her fridge. as long as you keep them cool, they will stay dormant. I spray with mitywash until then. I never have a mite problem outdoors, only in the greenhouse. The good bugs could not get in till I took the screens out of the windows. After release I mist them for a drink and they come out and do the happy dance on the leaves.

But remember all those branches you tie down are gonna send more branches up, each becoming bud sites. You will learn how to snake the hoses in to hit the holes.
My first ( greenhouse) was eight feet long, five feet tall and two feet deep. It was a lean to against a wooden fence. I threw a ton of bag seed in there then had to pull many seedlings out. I must have had 15-20 plants growing on that tiny spot. It grew, I tied. My big job was keeping the buds from touching the plexi rooftop. I had those plants tied so much it harvested like a clown car, just kept cutting string and unraveling bud. Yes, it made me want a bigger green house, but it turned out to be some remarkably tasty bud and tons of it. May you have the same results.

I foresee a battle coming when budding occurs. I wish my sides were straight up an down instead of angular, or I had placed them slightly more toward the middle. It's as I almost regret walking in there as im just going to be annoyed. I know it best an the end wil be nice. But not used to it. It's becoming a ritual, I roll one an go in it, smoke n tie. Crawl an trim. Even the dog only walks in an straight out lolz. I have no choice but to continue. This is just the only place I can bitch, the misses could care less. However I did get the go ahead to make it bigger next year, only thing to gain from here on out is xp. So I can at least avoid some heartache later. It is encouraging hearing your success story. Thanks
