how do you mask your greenhouse for stealth yet let the light through?

Sprinkled epsom salts on the surface??? That's a strange one . Did they show signs of deficiency? If you're worried about smell/stealth then I would advise growing somewhere else, indoors is actually a lot more secure than the garden for the most part, or out in wild geurilla grow style.

Yup I was majorly stupid with that one but hopefully nothing will happen. I only worried about the stealth in terms of visibility from the top.  I want to make a plot in wild to grow, amend it before hand, but Im not sure if that is the way(digging holes etc.) for outdoor guerilla

Bubble wrap.

Can’t see through it. In an ideal world, you’ll put it on either early in the year, or late...frost protection if anyone asks.

do you put it as replacement for glass or on top of glass or on the inside? Do you use some special kind uv permeable ?

[Gimps]

@moonharvester I put it up on the inside, over the glass. You’re supposed to be able to get it to stick by wetting it, but I’ve used clothes pegs to keep mine in place.

Bought a large roll from the big river site, no specialist uv, just the same type you’d wrap stuff with.

First time this year, but it works a treat so far. Contents of greenhouse completely invisible.

No discernible difference in product.

Good luck with whatever you choose.

do you also use the white wash paint in combo with it? and how many layers do you use of that  bubble wrap? so the smooth surface side is supposed stick to glass right, makes sense.

Thank you

@moonharvesterJust the one layer of bubble wrap works for me, even with the sun shining through, nothing is visible, so no need for paint as well in my experience.

I did a little research and there seems to be one type for wrapping stuff and other for wrapping like furniture and  things moving which suppose to be thicker I dont want to buy wrong stuff, is yours the same as things in general in boxes come packed with ? thanks mate

@moonharvester packing things, I think.

good point is it very late to pop some photos which should finish at mid or end of sept.?

[MindSoup]

Its late but not too late, as long as they get a good start you should get about 1-2oz each. I have a few germinating as we speak.

Do you think starting them and vegging them a little would help a lot? All I care about is abundant healthy medicine that would last me through until the next year

 

[MindSoup]

If you have the ability to give them a bit of veg time indoors or even just stick them under a light for a few hrs as the night draws in they will end up bigger, but I'd imagine it would also cause them to finish later which might not be the best thing. Personally I'd just plant a few more to account for them ending up smaller.

I was thinking of that white lime wash paint and some white netting on the inside. I wonder if anyone tried bubble wraps on top, are they uv permeable? I dont want to loose much benefit of the glass and it seems the limewash already dims the light considerably

thx for the tips

 

use greenspan foil

 

Greenspan folie

 

Standard 280-gram film has the following properties:

weatherproof to hail and frost

5-year manufacturer's warranty against UV radiation reinforced with green nylon wire (grid size of 10x10 mm) therefore tear-resistant high light transmission (approx. 86%) while the light rays are transmitted as diffuse light, which reduces shading Unlike glass,

no additional measures need to be taken against burning plants in sunny weather.

UV light permeable
