1st Time Growing Outdoors

I have 3 successful grows all in a tent with home made LED lights. We moved. We sold the house and it gave us enough to retire and buy a 2nd house. Granted we moved to another part of BC from Surrey to Shuswap lake. The weather here is more favorable to outdoor growing so last year I built a 8x12 ft greenhouse. I picked up 4 clones. Last 3 grows were all by seed. They were about 6 inches when I bought them and are now almost 2 feet tall. And looking healthy. I set up a gutter system to catch rain water. In a pinch. I can take our boat out in the lake and fill several milk jugs. I am going to try and avoid manufactured nutes. We will see how that goes.

Man, that is beautiful
I'd love to have the space, timber and sunshine to do that
Very cool :cool: :hookah:
Thanks, It's an 8x12 greenhouse. Top is 11 feet high. Had to build it that way for snow loading. Here is a pic of the whole thing. I'd say total build cost was about 3 grand and my labour was free since I get to enjoy the benefits of it.

This build is great :thumb:
 
I started with 4 clones from a shop in Enderby BC Canada. They were about 10 inches tall. Now they are +4 feet tall. The yellow level sits flush with the bottom of the pot and it is 48 inches long. Checking them today, I see the first signs of budding happening. When I got the clones, He said 2 were Chemo, I forget the name of the 2nd type but the pot they were in said TC No idea on that meaning. Hope it smokes nice.

Well the plants are doing fine, The Chemo strain is a bit behind on the TC strain. Not sure why but figure its Indica VS. Sativa. Been quite a month here in the Shuswap of BC. Forest fires everywhere. Fortunately we are OK. people across the lake, Not so much. They have lost some 170 houses and a lot of forest. At bottom of last pic is a link to forest fire smoke and waves on water

Been very busy but took 2 plants down Sept 27. They were labelled TC Tropicali ?? They are in jars now. My other 2 plants came down Yesterday and they are Chemo. When I let our dog out, I could smell the plants big time in the last month and they were in a green house 40 ft from my house. I now know which plants were stinky. Chemo... I could smell it and it is pungent. Very crystally and sticky. Had to scrape the scissors often when trimming
