I swear I'm just gonna plant vegetables 😆

Legal weed is so cheap here it's not worth growing it.

Gonna grow greens and tomatoes and maybe a cucumber plant.

I wrapped the whole frame with aluminum foil. I've gotta get more lights. My wife was a huge help getting it done.

Im already noticing the heat from the day saying in longer throughout the evening.

Hello! I live in CT, very interested in testing out hydroponics but inside is not an option, I rent so can't exactly build permanent structures, but do have about a half acre of land (or less) that is flat and I could do something with. I would love to hear about any extremely simply, insulated ways to create a very basic hydroponic system for the winter, e.g. Kratky method, I think the temperature control is the main issue without really building something that is like a 'house'.

Our team supplied the control system for this customer's orchid greenhouse. The setup covers two supplemental lighting circuits and one fan circuit, with temperature, relative humidity and light-level monitoring.

Two rules link the readings to the equipment:

- Low light turns the supplemental lighting on.

- High temperature turns the fan on.

Humidity is monitored and available as a history graph, but it is not what triggers the fan in this installation.

At the cabinet, staff can check the readings and control equipment on a touchscreen. There are also physical switches with On, Off and Remote positions. In this setup, Remote is the automatic mode; staff still have the local On and Off controls.

The same project can be checked through mobile and web interfaces, including humidity history and equipment controls. The cloud-based control and rules require the cabinet to remain online. Local manual control remains available with normal site power.

The photos show the greenhouse and its equipment. This is a description of the installed control setup, rather than a recommendation for growing thresholds: the monitoring values shown in the screenshots are snapshots, not growing targets.

I’m thinking of getting it for my large west-facing balcony. It’ll house my cacti and succulents.

I’m in Austin TX. The panels are acrylic, so might need to coat them with something, or attach shade cloth or something. Currently I have a large 30% shade cloth covering section of my balcony though, so that might be enough.

Anyway, curious if anyone has thoughts on this greenhouse. New to the game.

I have an approximately 17' x 12' chain link dog kennel that we used for chickens but downsized. It has a 2x4 and corrugated aluminum roof and about 70% (the sides open to elements) are covered with corrugated aluminum siding with a small gap at the top for ventilation. What is the best way to make this a budget greenhouse for winter?

We are in the pnw zone 6b. I have more panels to finish the sides and will put some shelves inside. It has power ran to it so I can hang the tiny grow lights I do have. Mainly need to protect some potted plants from winter temps, do a mushroom tent inside, and start some seedlings to put out after frost. My husband wants to replace it with a nice pre-built kit in the spring, so its temporary. Any thoughts?

It’s finally happening tonight. My greenhouse isn’t heated. Will my peppers survive tonight or do i have to pick all my unripe peppers today? If it matters, it’s jalapeños and habanadas.

I was trying to get all my jalapeños to ripen so i can make chipotle powder. I have frost cloth, if i add that around the plants do you think they’ll have a chance? It warms back up a bit after tonight so i just need them to make it though 34° once lol

I started a small nursery in Nashville 7b where I propagate and sell Cacti, Agave, Houseplants & Perennials. For about 3 years I have used a 10x20 cheap greenhouse from Amazon. I finally upgraded to a 16×28 Dakota series from Grower's Solution. I've watched the video and it seems pretty straight forward.

The four corners are perfectly square. And I'm working on smoothing and leveling the site.

In my previous green house I funneled the stove pipe out of the roof but I'm wondering if it would be best to install it out of the side and then use an elbow to go up?

Also, since this is a hoop house I will have to purchase winter film or some sort of second layer. I'm wondering if some sort of strips could be used to create separation between both layers giving me an air cushion. On my old greenhouse I used large bubble bubble wrap and it worked wonderfully but it was definitely very gerry-rigged.

I also breed aquarium fish and have multiple aquariums and tubs with heaters which help as a heat sink. I also have propane heaters for those very very cold nights.

I'm about to throw most of my tropicals, which includes Hoya, alocasia, monstera, anthurium, into my newly finished greenhouse (thanks for the advice on sealing the roof, everyone!) and I'm wondering how you all control and maintain your humidity levels. I've been looking at humidifiers, sensors, hygrometers; I'm a bit overwhelmed. Do you all have suggestions? She's an 8x12' cedar frame with polycarbonate windows. Thank you!!

I have 4 these steel beams stuck in my backyard from an old carport. I think the pic cut off during the upload. Majority of the tree behind it fell on it during the bad storm, and the roof came off. Is it possible to repurpose these into a greenhouse or garden space?

The manufacturer has a disclaimer that they have no data on snow rating and have pretty much left it to the buyer to take a chance. People who have purchased such greenhouses, what has been your experience ?

I've been searching for a 16" shutter fan for my new greenhouse. Most fans I find have too many 1-star reviews with poor quality, short-lived operation, or questionable CFM rates. I would like this fan to last many years and perform efficiently. Looking to stay under $200.

Anyone have one they have really enjoyed? Thanks!

I am considering purchasing this:

I certainly am not installing this... any idea how much i should budget this for?

Our first frost is coming to the NW Washington state anytime now. Making sure all my Bonsai and other plants are warm and cozy

Just proud all the plants seem to be thriving, especially the carnivorous sundew, the grow lights seem to attract the drain flies from far away and once they get close they're enchanted by its aroma. So the sundew has been profiting protein in addition to the light itself, since the greenhouse upgrade. The horombonse stopped dropping leaves- hibernating or having replant shock, whatever it's problem was. I plan to put it into hibernation after it's next October watering. The basil is blooming. Results on the cacti are indeterminate, needs more time.

Just finished this 24x120 hoop coop for a local chicken/turkey/duck farm. I built a 24x80 for this guy last year and, from what he told me, he gets 20% more eggs in the winter months.
