Hey Rusty. This is a first for me. The purpose is to maximize the productivity of the number of plants allowed to grow under CA prop 215. Basically there is a plant limit and a harvest limit as well. Thats all. As for the amount of work, its not all too much. Basically every morning and evening a black tarp is placed over a frame built from PVC.
Being new at this i think it advantageous because all my eggs are not in the same pots. So if i screw up well there is another opportunity or two. I like seeing well developed colas outside in the beginning of June. It beats giving more money to the electric company while still trying to get a handle on producing some quality highgrade for the family. My plants definitely look too yellow for being 32 days in flower but hey i am learning. I'll post some pics in the next day or two.
It is the location of trees on the property that are causing sun for the mornings and evenings to be filtered. The group getting 8-9 hours of sun look significantly larger than those at approx. 6 hours. Thanks for your suggestions!
