Upcoming greenhouse grow questions

Strawberry420 · Apr 12, 2020

So I'm in so cal I'm planning on transplanting 5 clones into 10 gallon buckets using the super soil method in June after leaving them in the shade for a week. I have a 12'x10x10 greenhouse. I got just about everything down but I'm wondering if I plant 4 7 foot 7/8" inch bamboo posts in each smart pot and use the nylon netting below if it will be enough to hold up my plants after toping them each three times. I ask because im on a budget and this would be cheaper then using 8 foot metal t posts and metal fencing as support.

I think it really depends in how deep the buckets are. Due the fact you will be in a green house tho you shouldnt have to worry about wind as much so it might be okay. I would suggest tho if you are using the netting to make several layers of it. Will really help support the plant better. Like this

That was a typo. I'm using the standard 10 gallon smart pots. Also thank you

It's gravel with extremely hard clay soil. I'm considering looking at your grow just doing 6 plants spread evenly and burying 4 8 foot metal posts 2 feet deep and making one big multilayer horizontal canopy.

That pic isnr my grow. I was just using that picture as a reference. I did something similar to the picture "scrogging"the first layer but wished I had added two or 3 more layers for support. This yr I will

Sounds like you have a good plan. Good luck
