I've got three bathtubs I'll be placing next to my new greenhouse and will need to cover this winter. Thinking of doing the same. Great minds and that happy horse shit?lol I was going to do the same thing but just the top of it and put it on top of my 6' chain link fence for the pups for shade
Still Day 28
I didn't have enough 2 x 4 to make a frame, 17" short, so before running to the hardware store I'm looking in the garage and see 4 clip lights.

They're on a timer 6:30 - 8pm and will fire up again at 4:30am until 7, for now. LED's.
Autumn equinox in about 5 hours. We had 12 hrs 8 min of daylight. Glad I got lights up.

I still have to install the windows and put the top on. Rain is in the forecast Fri/Sat. I'm taking a break with some home grown but gotta get more done tonight.
These 3 look to be the first of the culled.

That's why they're not under a light. Going to have another dozen seedlings needing space in about a week so no time to baby a few. I'm sure the two larger will be male, never fails.
Looks like the leaf bouble will stay. I don't see any more on new growth and they got 4 waterings today.
I've got 48 qts of coco soaking in a strong cal/mag solution. I haven't separated the coir from the dust and will use as is with some perlite. I'll give a few of the 1 gal cloth pots a go and a few of my DIY pots.
One more hit and back too it.
Yes and yes. Added mycribal fungi to the coco pots and started adding coco to soil pots.Interesting journal here is making me want to try Coco...I have added k9 in with my soil at a 75/25 (soil/Coco) rate during winter grows in my greenhouse so I don't get a lot of fungus gnats/roots holding water but maybe I should strive for more Coco! Do you think it's a waste to combine Coco and soil? Does it allow for microbiology to flourish like soil does? Liking your results!
I've been considering picking up some rock wool. While the coco works fine for what I'm doing I believe the bubbles from a dwc might help the coco fall out of the cup and same for cloning. Can't wait to try the aquarium for cloning and rock wool would keep it cleaner.It got me also. I'm off the rockwool for now and back on coco.
i never got the kratky going with just the feeds,plants get about 3ft long and damp off,i finally added my air to the 33 gal can ,it took off then,im kinda interested on your cec,how are you maintaning it in coco?Day 44/14

These two were also the first to be topped by 5-6 days over the others.
They're all crammed together

but doing well.
Growth has increased again. 1/3 cup of each three concentrated MasterBlend nutes. Making about 8 gallons a day with 9 plants & 9 seedlings.
Gotta water through runoff to flush out old salts and add new/fresh. Watering the pot basically. I've been watering everything else the same, ie tomatoes basil lettuce peppers in their little 8oz cups.
Speaking of which most are in their own Kratky bottles and will be moved outside so I can start more. Got bush beans spouting. Even planted a couple purple. Green beans should take well to this method of growing but will have to be kept in the greenhouse.
I plan on moving the 9 adult pot plants out and into another greenhouse without extra lighting (today we had 11:37 total daylight) by the end of the month/first week of November. Gotta make room for the Nov seedlings and put these into flower.
So far it's been easy. Only issues were when I was not mixing the proper percentage of the nutes. You can always cut it in half or more but I'm not seeing why. All are being watered with the same mix.
Here's to fresh herbs, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and bud for months.
i just smash both ends and it kills um,probally gonna come off later anywayPrune that leaf off. Leaf miner.
The damage was caused over 3 weeks ago and has stayed the same but yeah, time to clip it and a couple others.Prune that leaf off. Leaf miner.
