You can get an outdoor wood stove, with a radiator for the greenhouse, and then a fan to blow the hot air off of the radiator for about $4,000. If you find something used you could get it lower. I have a friend who does aquaponics, and he uses this setup. He had a mishap with his ventilation one day and it was 110f in there for a bit. No shortage of heat, and long term it is cheap.We choose the 5 ml as were at 6200 feet. We heated with propane last winter way too expensive. Will consider other winter growing methods in cold weather Temps can reach 110 plants love it. We do have thermostats that open lovered doors and fans blowing out hot air. Also key are fans constantly circulating air good for plants It was expensive but in the long run worth it as we grow a lot more than mj in the house. We also have a 6,000 sq ft veggie garden raise as much food as we can, support local organic sustainable farms, stay away from store bought food like substances...raw goat milk and cheese, chicken, grass fed beef, lots of local fruits, we live in paradise...
Don't know. I did just look at their facebook, and I love what they are doing. It seems to be an overall nice farm.
I have seen a couple of stoves inside the house, but I have seen more outside. I don't know why other than to think of all of the moisture. Although you would think a stove inside would help to dry up the air. Hell, I think I just confused myself.:)Thinking about small wood stove to heat...inside house.....
Keep humidity down, would be warm for sure.
We've used shade fabric when we lived on the San Juan Ridge in the Sierra Foothills, I can't say I every noticed a drop in yeild or dankness. But we never ran tests either. Part of our crop was under a 30% shade cover during the heat of the day. Also we have talked for a couple of years now about running a partial shade crop or at least to filter the hot late afternoon sun, with full sun exposure before setting; on the other hand some of the most omni potent buds we've smoked came from a light dep we did here, in full sun at elevation 4250. At Oaksterdam, Richard Lee stated that the trichs are a form of UV block, so the more UV (to an extent of course) means more trich production or closer to genetic maximums however you want to look at it. It was the only variable we hadn't accounted for on that light dep crop, whew it was stupefying! Some fucking Urkle at that.I've been pricing out Solex and it's not in the cards for me anytime soon. I am in the mountains, lower elevation, but I would dearly love to block prying eyes in the skies. I've been wondering about trying a low-% shade fabric for that, but lowest I can find is 20%-30% and I think that's way too much sunlight being blocked to get good bud production. Any thoughts on that?
Bought used way before the pot rush....Chicken,where did you get the frame for the greenhouse?
