What's going on fellow Blades:smoke: hope everyone is doing good, I'm back in action after taking a long needed 4 month vacation/break after last falls harvest which was oh so lovely. Hoping to have a repeat this season with a high success rate of larger buds and an even more bountiful harvest with an arsenal of Top Shelf Strains!!

I got somewhat of a late start this year but that should not hold me back.

I have 21 different strains I am working with right now, I am looking to find 2-3 Top Shelf Quality phenotypes that yield large amounts of medicine indoors and out.

-Skunk#1
-Big Bud
-Grape Ape
-Purple Wreck
-Purple Trash
-Bubba Kush
-Northern Wonder
-White Widow

-White Bubba
-Mr. Nice Guy Purple

This Past week I started with a design I drew on some paper, and with hard work and about $600 I made my dream a reality and built my very first greenhouse, I was going to build something small but just said fuck it and went big. It was alot of hardwork framing and constructing everything bymyself but with the resource of the internet it was not to hard. here are some pics of my build from last week.

Day 1 - I started out having to some what level off the slope I was on to make the grade level, I did this with a spade shovel and a dirt rake, then I dug (4) 2ftx1ft post holes with a post hole digger, then filled them with 60lb bags of cement, then let dry over night, I also made my base level and squared it, I also marked my where i was going to place studs with steaks





Day 2-Place studs and started doing the framing work with 2x4's and sheeting my base with 9/16 plywood so it was sturdy




Day 3-I completed framing and installed my roof support beams, so this greenhouse is rock solid



Day 4-5 I completed covering the greenhouse with 6mil greenhouse film that diffuses light and energy evenly to all plants, I stapled it on to tack it up then fitted it to the 2x4's with 1x2's and screws, I added a door as well I will probably add a window on the other side eventually to create a cross breeze effect

Update: Here are some pictures of my plants the day I picked them up from the club May 12th, so ruffly 3 weeks ago, I vegged them under 1000 watt HPS & 4 Bulb T5 with 6500k Bulbs











enjoy blades:smoke: I'm gonna take a trip to the hydrostore and and walmart need to pick somethings up for my ongoing indoor project! 6000watts in two rooms!!

Everything looks great man, nice happy plants and a sweet ass greenhouse!

Thank You man, it's my first season in GreenHouse it's been a week and I am already loving the results I am definitely in for a treat this summer! I appreciate any help input criticism or advice anyone may have I need all the help I can get!, I am not new to growing just new to GreenHouse, been outdoor for about 4 years now and indoor for almost 7 now, but I don't think I will be varying from Light Dep GreenHouse any time soon it is definitely "The Business"

***Update***

Water System

Before today I was watering using a 5 Gallon bucket and a 16oz cup I would have to mix a 5 gallon about 5 times to complete all watering. So I decided to make my life easier and setup a reservoir and pump watering system, and I have to say I am in love with it and have only been using it 24hrs

DrGr33nThumb215's Reservoir Build

-(1)240 GPH submersible water pump with 1/2 inch fittings ($29.99)
-(1)35 Gallon black trash can with lid ($12.99)
-(1)100ft roll of 1/2 inch black irrigation line ($25)
-(1)25ft roll of 1/8 inch air line ($3.99)
-(2)5 inch airstones ($2 each)
-(1)2-output 10psi air pump ($12.99)

Here is what it looks like all put together.

***Update***

Yesterday along with my trip to Wally World I went to my buddies Hydrostore, I was going to pick up some Fox Farm Ocean Forrest like the rest of my Pots but it was $16.99 a bag:devious: I got it last week from this new shop for $8.99 a bag:) so I decided to try out some PROMIX, one of my buddies is always talking about it, so I got two bricks, lol they were 3.8cubic feet and I got them for $35 each out of the door not bad and I filled (12) 5 gallon pot per a 3.8 cubic ft brick transplanting from 1 gallons pots. I also got 21 plastic 5 gallon pots to transplant the remaining clones I originally got on the May 12th from the cannabis club and prepare them for bloom phase next week!! also grabbed some fancy green stake labels no more masking tape!! I was up all night setting up my reservoir and transplanting these clones, and spraying my greenhouse and indoor for bugs it's been a long day lol

Here are some pics of what the greenhouse is looking like today, let my 6 month old 70lb Doberman puppy run around in the greenhouse today got some cool flicks!











Here are some pics of one of my indoor veg rooms, I with another 33 plants vegging, these consist of an assortment of Northern Wonder, Purple Trash, Purple Wreck, Bubba Kush, Big Bud, & Skunk #1 they are in 2 gallon pots under air cooled 6inch 1000 watt HPS, I also have 4 mothers in 5 gallon D.eep W.ater C.ulture bubble buckets

Nice setup... Love the pup too, had lots of dobermans good dogs

If your looking for quality and yields the Blue Dream is going to be your strain. Don't expect huge yields from the Grape Ape or Bubba Kush. They stay on the smaller side. I haven't flowered my Bubba yet but it's growing pretty damn slow compared to my other strains. The grape ape is delicious, but not a huge yielder. She WAS really pleasant to grow though and flowered fairly fast. It was my first strain I grew and was very noob friendly. Turned out frosty buds with very little nutes.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say, that's one hell of set up you got there. Nice work!

Definitely a nice setup -- and your dog is pretty chill too Cutting out some windows would def be a good idea, but other than that everything looks great.

Thank man, I love my Doberman best purchase of my life, I don't know how I lived for so long without one, Bella is only 6 months so smart it's scary can open doors and knows sit, stay, come, how to track, she is being trained in personal protection as well, and doing very well I want to get another doberman man and start breeding them in the future because dobermans have been labeled an aggressive breed they are becoming more rare and less popular especially the red and tan dobbies, right now I am in the market for a red male, so once Bella is ready she can be a mother. Her natural aggressiveness territorial instinct to protect me or our home amazes me. She even knows not to fuck with the plants she goes in the grow rooms gets a little smell of a leaf and leaves em alone she impresses me daily with herself control.

I grew alot of Blue Dream last year and my 1st outdoor season 4 summers ago when it first started becoming popular with outdoor northern california growers, it is a huge yielder, the buds are extremely potent looking and frosty, it has great bag appeal, but does not get me that stoned like some good kush does. it had a very short lasting sativa high, but it was my largest yielding plants last year. The only two issues I have with Blue Dream (1) is during harvest time the shit is everywhere, everyone grows this stuff outdoors, I started calling it blue diesel and blue kush because I had so much of it last year and no one wanted standard blue dream, it is definitely a $$$ maker. (2) is that blue dream is almost sativa dominate I have had some phenotypes that finish in 80-90 days the first time i grew it took 12 weeks to finish indoors and I have had some finish in 65-75 days so, hopefully these can complete the light dep in 65-70 days I am going to get them 72 hours of darkness prior to flower.

What you said about your Bubba Kush interested me alot, I have grown Bubba last year had a few clones I put outdoors in the ground late in the year and I had grown some indoor in the past, that I got from my cousin and they yielded ton's of super quality bud, that was some of the strongest most potent shit I have ever smoked. He has since flowered the strain in a light dep greenhouse on 60 day cycles 4-5 times and yields anywhere from a hp to 3/4 pound per plant in a 60 day cycle in 10 gallon smart pots, and it's super fire everytime. He actually just cropped out this week and we were smoking some fresh shit friday night, I got the cuts from Magnolia Wellness in Sacramento which is now closed down and reopened as River City Phoenix, they have some of the Best Meds and Clones around. Maybe it is your strains phenotype causing slow growth and small yield. because for me Bubba Has been nothing but a yielder that finishes in 60 days Last year I cam across some outdoor bubba buds that were nothing smaller then 1/2 to 2 oz they were forearm sized, so I guess it depends on the length of veg and the environment.

Grape ape I grew once indoor no yield bomb buds, hopefully performs better outdoors for me then it had indoors, I only have 2 grape ape cuttings, but I am alot more excited for my mr.nice guy purple. grew some of that last year super larger yielder outdoors not quit blue dream type but finishes really fast outdoors. I have a ton of mr. nice hoping it is quality meds like the cuts I had last year, for me it stayed green and didnt turn purple though because it was a hot as summer last year.

I like your grow as well and I definitely will be watching!!!

Definitely a nice setup -- and your dog is pretty chill too Cutting out some windows would def be a good idea, but other than that everything looks great.

Thank you man, I appreciate it, and tips or help you guys can give me I would greatly appreciate it. good luck out there in AZ I spent a few years out there working, my DWC kushberry and white widow grow was done in tempe out there, and it was hot as hell in the summer! winters are lovely though.

Here are some flicks of my Doberman



Bella on Guard Duty!!!



She's got a mean look to her, wish she didn't get ear infections at 3 months or else I would have had her ears cropped

You must've lived in the valley then I assume? It gets extremely hot here in Phx, that's for damn sure lol, but the winters are easily the best in the entire country. Luckily my grow is up towards Show Low, where summer high's only get up to about 85, so it's perfect conditions for growing!

I'll take some pics of my Basset when I get the chance

I could not agree more Bella is a great name, my ex girlfriend named her, It suits my dobbie, Huskies are amazing dogs I hear, my next dog is going to be an akita, my landlord has a ton of akita's there are actually 5 on our property 6 total dogs including my dobbie, they breed them they are pretty intense here is Buddah his 2 year old stud akita, I want one just like this, it is so fierce but kinda bullheaded and bad at listing

Nice set up. What do u use to light dep the green house? Are u in the 530? Those trees look like my neck of the woods. Good luck, you'll see me around I'll be watching your grow. Since your in the sac area, you should check out 'all natural 215' dispensary exellent medicine good prices seriously nice clones. I have been everywhere that's my favorite. The sisters that own it are really cool. Good luck.

So I have a few different things going for my light deprivation setup, I was going to use 4mil panda film, because that's what my friend has used for years the stuff is pretty sturdy and he was only covering 2 sides because his greenhouse was a lean-to, I figured on a greenhouse my size I going to need something a little more heavy duty then 4mil panda film, he was also covering on the inside I will be covering on the outside. I am going to be using a 40x40 ft 10mil tarp that I am going to order online today actually. I was also thinking about doing on the (4) sides (4)10x16ft tarps and for the roof using (1) 16x16 or a 20x20 if I can find them, tarps come in alot of odd sizes wish I would have looked into this before building my structure.

I am leaning towards the one larger 40x40ft tarp because it will be much easier to cover every night and uncover every morning. I am just going to fix one side to the base of the greenhouse then use rope on the other side and pull it over then tie them down should work lovely!!!

what do you use? I have done some research into this subject and posted on here with little response or knowledge obtained by looking online I honestly think some people like to keep what they use for actually light deping the greenhouse a secret but that is just my opinion

the "530" is such a large area code, it covers davis, woodland, yuba city to tahoe and as far as jackson. I am just on the edge of the 916 no dirty 5:30 for me:(

I have heard of all natural before, but where are they located? never been there before, have you ever been to the old club 10th & T it was called Sacramento Holistic Healing Center that used to be the shit but they have since closed down

Im definitely going to have to check your grow out good luck to you this year!!

All natural is in shingle springs, off ponderosa road. I never went to the club off tenth u were mentioning. I'm over an hour out of sac in the dirty. I don't have my grow up on here due to technology "problems" shall we say. I've never done light dep. I was hoping to learn from you, like u said, it seems what they use is a secret. But you'll figure it out, then hopefully you'll share the results with us all :-)

Looking good man, I really like the build of this greenhouse. Looks like they have PLENTY of room for vertical growth, jealous!! I'm limited to only 7' of height in my greenhouse, 8' in the middle at the peak :/

Do you find your girls like the heat? I've been keeping temps in my greenhouse controlled pretty well but I think they might enjoy more heat and drying out faster. Not sure which had more pros right now. Feel free to stop by my journal :smoke
