very coolLooking a bit ahead at the container build and I am going to start building lights for it. I have a lot of 24" heat sinks that I want to put to use and the cost of Cree CXB 3590 are half of what they were 5 years ago so I think Ill probably use those.
The cost for the container is around $3500 for a regular 20'er and a high cube one is around $5500.
Donnie Darko is such an excellent movie
Homesteader,I'm moving my two rooms from my home and putting them in the container which will get the Mitsubishi ac unit I currently use (well waiting to get a guy over to vacuum the line and cap it, I'm not using it during the winter)
I probably won't grow to heavily during the summer months due to the heat and I am using my sawmill and working on other things that time of year but Ill add a shade cloth of some sort.
are you going to paint it white?Homesteader,
Take a look at Alumishade for the covering. It might be too expensive but I have used it on a greenhouse in the past at the peak of summer. They offer different quantities of sunlight blockage,
Was the “shit smoke” the landraces?Downsizing the grow rooms for this run and working at moving the grow room to a container by this summer but for the time being I am going to run about 6 plants indoors and grow them with ONLY rabbit poop and rabbit urine (as well as gypsum and native dirt). Rabbit manure is a cold manure which means that it isn't high in salts and can be used immediately without the need for flushing the sodium first. The NPK of rabbit terd is about 2.5-1.5-.5 and the urine is loaded with the same and high in calcium carbonate. Rabbits don't metabolize calcium the same way as other animals, so any excess is expelled in urine.
Last year we had a total of 18 rabbits but now we are down to a half dozen for the winter months. I love my rabbits. We raise meat rabbits but I prefer to eat chicken so I keep the breeders on the ready in case shit hits the fan and food supply becomes short.
Growing a few kush crosses to look for a summer keeper as well as two mimosas I had as a freebie and a Tangerine Dream. I think i am going to shy away from all landraces this year and just focus on quality hybrids for this summer. Im still getting burned from growing shit smoke last year and hope to change that and get the jars refilled. ANyhow happy new year to you all and Ill post more as it comes.
Bummer. Hope it goes better this round. Anything can happen.Partly but both my outdoor and indoor went to shit last year due to time constraints but hoping for a better season this year.
I put too much of my energy into growing a landrace cross that I made only to find it didn't pass muster. Seems to be the norm with landraces for me. I prefer hybrid if I'm putting that much of my focus into a grow.Bummer. Hope it goes better this round. Anything can happen.
Landrace crosses need tons of pheno hunting to find a gem or even acceptable plant. Its why breeders who put in the effort to stabilize them get so much respect. At minimum to progress I've seen numbers as low as a few hundred from each generation up to tens of thousands of plants. Its a lifelong commitment with plant count restrictions so definitely don't put all your eggs in that basket.I put too much of my energy into growing a landrace cross that I made only to find it didn't pass muster.
