Kippers 2019 Dinafem Outdoor competition Diary

[Kipper420]

Right I'll go first.

I dont have the capacity in my normal grow space for the comp girls, so I made a makeshift greenhouse that will hopefully accomodate them at least in early life.

So here it is.

 

 

The wood frame is made from left over timber from another project.

The upright salvaged from a swingy seat cover frame.

The greenhouse cover donated by a mate.

The copper pipe assembly was not a cheap option but it works well.

 

My idea is that on family/friends visit days the plants can be moved to a hidden spot and the greenhouse dismantled in less than 10mins.

Why did I go the copper pipe route because I cant find a little greenhouse that doesnt have to have shelves in as an integral part of the structure.

Also the stealth thing.

 

I wanted something that will also work as a coldframe (just the copper pipe frame in the wooden base, approx 1' tall) and a hardening off area.

Just need to put a pallet shroud over the coldframe for the plants debut outside.

 

I'm sure the g house may need some more work or improvements but we'll wait and see.

 

Looking forward to this comp. My first. Cant believe I've been chosen to be honest.

 

Thanks to @Dinafem-Mark

@Kipper420 I'd watch out in case you have built a kite mate

I'm gonna keep an eye out and If worse comes to worse I'll screw everything down. Just means its gonna take longer to dismantle.

I think the worst winds we had last season were in the 50-55mph range.

I do have some protection with the fencing but, I've seen my glass house panes flying around the garden before now.

Cheers @Jimboo

The kite's still there despite strong winds last night.

I nearly lost the makeshift greenhouse in the wind last night.

Quick inspection before bed. Its on it side flapping about. I had to remove the cover and bring it indoors.

What a palava.

At least the glass house is still intact. No panes blown out.

Might have to resite it.

At least I wasnt round the neighbours begging like a boy after his football. "Can I have my greenhouse back please Mr ?"

@Kipper420 Getting the 2019 outdoor grow season underway  with the 1st post of the year

 

I don't see why the greenhouse won't work buddy, I would take a little advice and somehow anchor the cover to the floor

 

Nice to see other members sharing what they will be growing this year 

 

I have a feeling this year is going to be one of the best

 

Thanks for kicking off the 2019 outdoor grow season @Kipper420

 

Let the fun begin 

 

All the best
