Its been metformin side effects acne just over a month since we transplanted the bell peppers into the greenhouse. Late July was hot with temps in the mid 90′s but early August has been even worse with a couple weeks in a row of 100+ heat. We are doing are best to keep the plants cool with the shade-cloth and fanning as well as regular misting. Initially we had the plants set with 1/2 gph drippers and irrigating 4x daily for 15 minutes, but they kept getting clogged since we don’t have an inline filter. So now we got a digital timer and just run the open 1/4″ tubing for 1 minute. I calculate that it’s about .30 gallon per irrigation event. I am...
Greenhouse Season 3

The second crop of tomatoes was a great success with the mortgage lifters coming out as one of the tastiest tomatoes I’ve ever had the pleasure to eat and the little mamas making us some incredible salsa.

These thing taste so good I could sell them for $5 each. Interestingly one plant produces orange and the other pink. Some Sungolds...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share some of our recent photos from the greenhouse. Our Custom built smart valve system has been performing like a real champ! Our only wish is that we could get more plants in there sooner. There was virtually no transplant shock from going from the led...
