Greenhouse construction & growing conditions

  1. Hi guys, I'm new here. My brief story - I haven't smoked for a few years but I'm starting to miss it so I'm starting up again. I love growing almost as much as smoking. My experience is entirely outdoor growing but in addition to that I would also like to try a mini greenhouse this time.

    I haven't found a ready-made greenhouse to suit the space I have. I have a small square paved area about 1.8m*1.8m (or 6ft*6ft) so I want to find some frames and I'll cover the lot in plastic film. I assume I can find suitable frames at a garden/hardware shop but any feedback from anyone who've made their own greenhouses would be welcome.

    Growing conditions inside a greenhouse: (how important is direct sunlight?)

    Apart from the obvious humid scenario would growing in a greenhouse do over receiving only filtered sunlight? As the location in mind doesn't receive full sun. If this is not suitable I will still build it to use for cloning and starting plants but it'd be cool if i could grow 1 or 2 full sizers in there too, maybe I'm being unrealistic though...

    Feedback appreciated, cheers :)
     
  2. Well if you want my two cents...

    Don't buy a greenhouse, I suggest you make yourself a green-pryamid. The design is simple enough for one person to rig up a greenhouse in under a day.

    You should be able to get lots of sun this way. Just make a triangle and put some plastic around it.
