Winter Greenhouse grow #2
Dutch Passion seeds Hollands Hope
6th May 2020
Well that was a turbulant week of weather for these two poor liitle ladies and from the look of the sky , they are in for more.
Last night we had a severe storm here with wind gusts at or above 100kmh an hour and heavy rain of about 45mm in the rain guage this morning.
The temp is currently 8 degrees outside at 12 noon and the minimum was 2 @ 630 am this morning.
I was half expecting to see the greenhouse had been smashed to pieces but luckily it seems to have survived so far relatively unscathed,
apart from the odd rip in the roof that is letting in water from the rain.
Both plants got an absolute drenching and you can see by the plant 1's droopiness that they are not liking it .
The only thing I could do was move them to another part of the greenhouse that didn't seem to be leaking and when the weather settles down I will
line the inside of the greenhouse with new plastic .
This will be a grow that I will need to plan one week at a time as anything could happen the way our weathers been here
Thanks 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
