Growing in a Greenhouse

Soumis par Nayita le

Plants will grow well in a greenhouse as long as they receive good light. 

Sunlight which passes through glass doesn't have uv-light anymore. This could have an effect of the health of the plants (but usually they are fine), and in a greenhouse the humidity (at night especially) can be so high that the risk of getting fungus in the buds could be a bit higher than when grown outside. 

On the other hand will the greenhouse protect the plants against bad weather. This lowers the risk of fungus and damaged plants because of strong winds. 

All in all: there is every reason to believe that the plants will do well in a greenhouse. 

When you would be able to cover and therefore darken the greenhouse with a black tarp or something you could make them flower sooner. 

Let's say you start with this a month before they would normally start to flower (a month before you would normally start to see the first white pistils). You need to repeat this every day for two weeks. Put the tarp on in the evening about an hour before dark, and take it away about an hour after the sun rises. You can stop after two weeks because they will continue to flower by themselves. 

You could start to darken even earlier but then you will need to repeat the darkening every day longer than two weeks.

Good luck!
