My summer greenhouse grow

  1. I grew my first plant last year, and decided to go all in this summer. I ordered Aurora Indica, G13 Haze, Strawberry Cough, and OG Kush Feminized seeds. The germination process did not go well - ground squirrel had gotten into my greenhouse and were eating the sprouts. I grew frustrated and brought everything that had been sprouted into the main house. In doing so, I mixed up all the seedlings. Oops! Now that they are about two months old and look different I did my best guess on sorting them.

    The greenhouse is a 16x20 south facing wood frame building at 7600 feet. Nighttime temperatures are in the 40's outdoors and day temperatures are in the 80s-90s. I have two full rain barrels in the greenhouse to provide some humidity and act as a heat sink. Normally on a hot day the windows are all open and the fan is blowing. I button it up at night.

    My soil recipe includes composted poultry manure (composted with either pine shavings or straw), composted horse manure, coco coir, earthworm castings, some ironite, and diacetmous earth. The earthworms, poultry, and horses are on site with us, my goal is to a create nutrient rich, self sustaining soil supply for vegetables and herbs.

    I THINK I wound up with one g13 haze, three strawberry cough, three aurora indica, and three OG kush. All these plants are about 8 weeks.
    The sativa dominant IDs I feel confident with. Not really sure how to tell the difference between AI and OG Kush, if anyone has a guess let me know.

    The sativa dominant ones are 15-18" tall, the indica dominant are 32-35" tall. They are preflowering except for the very first one which just started flowering.

    How big are these babies going to get? Is the amount of stretching normal? I'd welcome any sort of input on if the plants look like they are supposed to or not ... Pictures I see often the plants are much more dense. TYVM!

  2. Those babies look nice! Hopefully the squirrel selected the best girls for you;)

    How long is your growing season where you are? For me, days are pretty short already, so flowering would have already been induced about three/four weeks ago.

    Seems like you separated the indicas and sativas easy enough. Beyond that, idk if i have the expertise to ID the cultivars

  3. Some of the plants are only starting to flower now! Last year I was able to keep temps in the greenhouse above freezing well into November by using two rain barrels filled with water as a heat sink. Fingers crossed!
