This is what happens when a commercial greenhouse operator has a spare room at home. As if I didn't have enough on my plate... thank jebus for a wonderful hard working and knowledgeable girl friend.
So with a little spare time in my life, I wanted to share experiences and some techniques learned over the past 20 years. During that time I have run little 20'x10' and 40'x10'houses, but in the past few years I have played in 300'x 20' to 120'x60' and up to 120'x120' and 120'x480' greenhouses. This results in huge harvests... enough to make one almost hate marijuana... almost.
Funny part is, I never get enough of the end product to smoke what I want, so I started my own at home. This is an attempt to document the important stuff.
Here is the breakdown.
Clone/veg room...
4x4 no-name tent
Hydrofarm T5 led
Walmart humidifier
50 cube Mondi trays/domes
Heat mats w/ thermostat
Flower room...
Gorilla lite 8x8
12 Thrive Agritech Boost LEDs
6" maxfan with canfilter
Active-Air 16" fan
Walmart humidifier
10" trays
A LOT of adjustable hangers...
Soil...
Grow store seedling mix in 2gal velcro pots.
Nutes...
General Organics Cal-mag
Age Old grow, bloom, marine
Strains...
Lemon Kush, OG Kush, and one we will call Secret Cookies. Not a common practice but I don't like waiting or wasted space, so they're double planted in the 2gal pots for maximum canopy usage.
I skipped the boring clone part... Woody stalks and typical practices. One month in the tray then plugged in forever home. Started with the 4x4/T5 and planned everything around the 100 clones. Just bought things as the plants needed them. The flower tent and lights were a decent investment but totally worth it. It raised my power bill $16! I have miscounted a few times but there should be 97 plants in the space. That happens when working with thousands all day. 7x7x2-1=97... Yeah 97 clones lived and 94 are now thriving. A few got out paced and covered up.
At 60 something days since they were cut. Fresh crop of clones cut tonight and now ready to flip. Might remove some for outdoor but still undecided.
Cheers
