InsaneRooster's Insane Greenhouse Winter Grow - 2014

[Dennise]

I want a hammock too...... Everything looks amazing Insane. I think they may be right and you are going to have an even bigger monster.....

 

[Conradino23]

Great way to go, Rooster
You could proabably get a mosquito net if you want to stop bugs completely.
Can't wait to see when it happens

 

[trichomes]

Plenty of room to play nice!
Lets get you a flux big enough so you can string a hammock across its middle and chill watching the others!

yea! here dat rooster?, get some fluxin' goin' on in that igloo!!!! LA

this is gonna be a great yard to play in

I thought of something else today about your greenhouse. During the daytime, you are going to need a way to vent out the top because in full sun that little spot is going to turn into a steam bath! Also you need to replenish CO2. For example, say it is 15C outside, no wind, just sun. Inside the little greenhouse it can get over 100 easily. That is a GREAT way to sterilize your house during summer so any pathogens which may exist will be dead, but to grow that way is a little harsh LOL!

If you can figure out a way to vent out the top ridge or at the top along the shelf where the roof attaches to the top of the walls. An opening. And you will need a fan, but I think you know that. Again, if I am annoying tell me to hush my big silly mouth.

 

[trichomes]

what's going on in this IGLOO? I brought some of these to puff in here,

I'll sit on that block of ice

How cold will it get in mid winter down there?

Pretty-please? post your C° w/ our F° (I struggle with C°).

If you have a heat/ventilation dilemma, I have some economical ideas for you.

You know back in the day I would on occassion hang out at an e,perimental organic farm, funded no less by exxon mobile corp. Behing the plastic walls were 1) jugs of water sitting on 2)bricks, with 3)bales of hay behind them and 4)free roaming chikens throughout the large greenhouse. The passive solar heating of water heated the bricks, the hay bales behind it aided in insulation, the chickens kept the bugs at bay. Just a thought, although I dont want you to experience any Masai warrior lion kling innitiation rights due to chickens lol but just an idea on affordable temperature control. In full discosure there may have been a few bombass sexy hippy girl assistants that ifocused on more..its all kinda hazy.

 

[Insanerooster]

Hay there All

I will be getting to all your comments in a bit, I am just trying to arrange some shipping for my PoTM prize.

I will be back soon...

edit hours later: NP Rooster, it's 730PM, I'm just getting started

 

[Insanerooster]

My apologies for taking long my friend....It is now 3:45 in the AM for me here in SA i have been up since yesterday 4 am so i am going on the 24Hr mark of no sleep so everything is taking 10 x longer for me to do.

 

[trichomes]

Well i am going to try the flux for the first time will just see how that goes... as for the other plants, they will be mostly clones from the MONSTER i am looking to have about 20 or so going by the end of winter....i will not train or trim them in any way as i want to see what they do on there own, maybe i will train some of them but as for now no plans yet i will advise if this changes.

thanks for getting involved so soon 60 you are a star!!

Happy smokes to you friend!!!

i'll bet LA answerred this, I'm late to class, jumping in for 60cal

One more question Insane Dude, on the ones that you aren't going to flux, are you going to top them and if yes how often and where.

Thanks Rooster.

no topping from my instructor on Fluxy Lady, just manipulating the tops, by pinching or spreading them,

this keeps the nodes closer together

 

[trichomes]

cold down here, going back to Cali, stop by Rooster, this yard is going to




EDIT: got too cold in your grow igloo Rooster, I'm crashing, after I get home to thaw.

then, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[Insanerooster]

Not sure how I missed this one. I am all caught up and will patiently awaiting your update.

We had visitors at our greenhouse grow from Cape Town on harvest day a week ago. Great people. Malawi Gold fans.

Was wondering how this could be called a winter grow but a hemisphere change will do that. Just finishing my early greenhouse grow. I love my greenhouse and am looking forward to another one. How low does your temp get there? I set mine at 55 F (13 C). It seemed to do the trick. A friend of mine sets his at 65 F (18 C). I can't afford that.

Good luck and keep us posted.

 

[GardenFaerie]

55F is a perfect night temp in a greenhouse.

I have not grown this. It was just a favorite of my visitors. They did say that we have the best genetics here and nothing back home has a kick like my tit's or golden goat. I think Coranido23 has some growing and his word is worth listing too.

 

[Dennise]

Hope your still sleeping... just waiting on the pics........

 

[TheBoogyman]

subbed! can't wait to see.

Thanks for always being around with a nice word or two, it is members like you that make this place what it is

Nice set up & layout, with so many plants going at one time it is very organized. You're going to be putting in some long hours in there & logistically looks like it you have it pretty well covered and it looks like you have room to adapt if needed.

Awesome job!

Hay there Festus

Thanks for the kind words...Well if i can i want to extend my greenhouse , At the moment it is 3x4 meter (10x13.5 ft for all you non metric members) i hope to extend the final size to 3x15 meters (10x50 ft) so yes lots of room to grow if needed!!
