Small Outdoor Michigan Greenhouse Grow

MiOutdoorsman said:
I built a 16' x 8' x 6'2" h for less than 300$. Not including plastic. I'm thinking about leaving the plastic off in center. Maybe a foot wide in middle of the whole 16' length. Not sure if that would let enough of the heat out

I have noticed that even taking a small panel off has made a huge difference. Maybe try it with just a few of the plants. I'm in South West Michigan, are you northern? The only thing I have done and do with my plants is one week a bat guano tea and the next week I do Miracle grow. I will be doing this till flower and between now and then I'm trying to find something organic I can use before wash. I'm assuming it will take approximately 40-60 days of flowering at least. (Hope I'm not repeating myself) first grow . so I am doing my math the best I can. I think you are setting on a gold mine with that size greenhouse. . I'm going to build one next year. I'm going to "try" and put pics up. .

92* plus today here in good ole Michigan and I was able to keep all 4 of these plants at no more than 104* today. Thanks to the great advice of some of the very friendly people on this site. Thanks Blew Hiller for help saving my small crop with your greenhouse advice. Watered the plants today and brought the ph down to 6.5. Anyone have advice on wether ph at 7-7.5 would be an issue? I have well water so I am using ph down to help. .What are the effects of High ph?
 
From what I read if pH gets too far out, it will cause lockout of nutes. I bought a cheap reverse osmosis system off Amazon. I have well water too. My RO water tastes like bottled. It made a huge difference in my plant quality

I can get RO water from a local shop. I will be doing this. They sell 8 gallon containers which would last me. The ph "was" 7-7.5 and I wanted it to be less. I am going to grab it soon and finish these plants out with it. Thanks for the heads up. I am doing bat guano one week then Miracle grow the next and don't want to waist that. The only other nute I will be using is Growtek,s 0-50-30 Monster Bloom for flower. The last two weeks of flower I am "Planning on" washing. . First time for me and trying to keep it somewhat simple. Thank you for the advice. .

Thanks to the wonderful HOT weather it got up to 117* today in the greenhouse.. .. They all are doing great though! Was able to open the door and the temp is dropping quickly. This hot humid Michigan weather is tough to deal with in a greenhouse but have yet to have any issues at all with the plants. Watered them well and ph is at a stable 7. ...

Sorry I didn't see this post. It's​ the high times Midwest cannabis cup ( festival ) in Clio Michigan on June 24 & 25. I've never been to one but it looks like fun. You have to be a Michigan card holder to get in. I think there will be seed/clone venders, bands, weed to buy. Weed celebrities

June 14th, it has topped out at 106* in the greenhouse....... All good though. Going to water by the weekend to lower my ph. The ph is getting a tad above 7 so I will be doing ph down the next watering. ...
