Title: A greenhouse for Spuds
Post by: Smokin Don on February 03, 2017, 09:44:42 PM

I thought spuds would enjoy this.
A Canadian Co. came in her last summer and built a 20 acre hydroponic green house to grow tomatoes and peppers. It is done and the first crops are planted. It is pretty impressive. They just turn the lights on 2 hrs. before sunrise and 2 hrs. after sunset. If all goes well they plan on at least 3 more.

WOW!!! Major cool,and too funny,Im working on my seedlings and concentrating on tomatoes and peppers,but think most will be grown in pots,I think my cold water is stifling their growth.But my seedlings are doing great 2 weeks in.
