Here is my 2145 that was grown with the aid of CO2. It developed a tear in a sag line and rib that went into the cavity. I have gained a ton of info and will share all in the next little while The cross is 2145 X 1495 Stelts The final Measurements were 477 inches and the weight was done on a certified Scale Next Picture has the weight If was one hell of a ride and I am not saddened by the fact that it ended up damaged I am Ecstatic to say the least

one of the greenhouse all closed up

here is one with the roof opening. I don't use mechanical venting and actually wouldn't work with CO2. Co2 is heavier than air so it stayed at the plant and with the roof open, the heat went out

This is how I would get into the center of the plant. I put in a 4 x 4 door

Steve Daletas sent me a bunch of his seeds Kinda sad though as we had a postal incident
Friday, December 14 View Page
All in all it wasn't bad as I got a trteat or 2 out of the deal. Didn't have the heart to tell Steve I really didn't want his seeds anyway as there are SOOOO many better ones out there. At least now I don't have to make up a story
