Hey all,
Took a trip up to Meehans Miniatures in Maryland today and bought a decent sized tree. I took it home only to realize it was a little too tall for what I've got set up right now, so I did some tweaking and built another greenhouse. Took me a whole 45 minutes and cost me under $35. All I used was PVC, drop cloth, and tape. I sometimes use mylar to reflect light, but didn't this time as the mylar I have is too thin and I wanted to be able to somewhat see the trees and hold heat in. So here's what I did....
First I built my frame:
I then covered it in 2 mil drop cloth (2 mil holds in heat the best):
Cut out the top:
Covered the hole with plexiglass:
Added my trees and my light, and I'm ready to grow:
I'll end up adding a door and a couple more lights sometime in the next week, but this is at least a start. Thought I'd share it with you all to maybe spark some thoughts amongst other indoor growers.
And I'm sure I'll get plenty of nay-sayers that will question "Why I go to such effort", but hey, it's what I do and this is how I've been growing for years and nothing is going to change that
