Greenhouse Winter Grow #2
Dutch Passion Seeds Hollands Hope REG
29th April 2020
Last day of April tomorrow so getting very close to Winter now .
We've already had one overnight minimum of 6 degrees and because I'm lazy and not really wanting to get out of bed at dawn (Except for Anzac day)
I am unable to ascertain how low the temps get down to inside the greenhouse.
But I have tested thruout the days and it looks to be on average about 6-7 degrees warmer inside the greenhouse than directly outside.
This means that it's still going too get a bit too cold in there each night for my liking.
Ive already started a couple of projects to try to get some extra warmth in there, one of which is the use of a Black 200L drum full of water inside the greenhouse
and I am in the process of procurring a roll of insulation plastic for the inside of the greenhouse.
It's probably wishful thinking but if I can get the temp to stay at or above 15 I may stand a chance of getting them to grow π
Anyway back to the two Hollands Hope seedlings and the mystery seedling that popped up π
I still haven't got around to moving the 2nd little hollands hope plant into it's own pot yet but will definately need to soon because another little plants popped up π³
I have a vague memory of maybe it was another HLxPW seed that I put in as a germination test and forgot about , but cannot be certain. oh the joys of a short term memory ππ
what was I saying again?? oh yeh Cheers for stopping by π
She looks good man. Hope she survives the cold but I'm sure she'll be ok. I have left one of mine in the greenhouse every night and haven't seen many issues apart from growth. Which is expected. I noticed you keep the water but in there to keep heat in but water also takes heat away faster that air, 25% faster. Just thought you'd want to know. I haven't used anything to prevent heat loss. My temps at night can get down to 1-2Β°C. That does fluctuate a lot.
@Grey_Wolf, I've just turned my lights on, my other half has 3 plants in flush, there so big there the light cant go up anymore π€£π€£ so stinky π
That's true about the sativas.
Some of the best sativas I've tried looked like regular weed not shiny with trichomes just enough but man oh man do they get you going... what a rush!
Looking good! ππ
@Topshelf420, She definately looks a lot different to all of the pics I could find of this strain
The high is almost like a Haze with all Head high and happiness I quite like it π
Not fun when a cyclone strikes ur greenhouse. Hope u don't get more bad weather. Plants look good. Hollands Hope is know for being very resistant against the cold and rainy conditions. She will turn out great in that organic soil. Happy growing buddyππ
lool that greenhouse, had the same man.. i even think the same brand a few weeks ago
now I have build a pvc one from a youtube video, atm max wind it survived was 75km/h so far so good.
Goodluck tho!
yummy chilli harvest.... nice variations. Crossing fingers for the ladies... but the temps are not so important .....or do not make trouble, it just slows them down.....more problem in my area is high humidity,,,,,,,and rain onto the buds. I dont know how wet // cold// rainy your winters are. but into the greenhouse you have good chances to keep them long outside. How much daylight do you have atm=?
@Mrs_Larimar, I have the ability to keep the rain off the plant but humidity I cannot control too much.
I think we are currently getting 10 hours a day which will slowly decrease until the equinox
If its a male I will collect some pollen and destroy the plant if its a girl ...... who knows π
