I have several more of the "Virginia Dickey" hybrids and they all seem to be doing very well.

the SVO 9331 is coming into flower again and a few new ones budding up.
thank you :)

May I ask about the bench set up? It looks like you have slats that hold the pot lip and the pot hangs down in the gap. Is that accurate? What size are the pots, 4”? Do you also have an area with large slots for bigger pots?

:bowing pretty much you got the construction. its minimal.

home depot homemade handy shelves...4 inch clay from the garden dept and select pine from the lumber section. lots of air around the pots. the smaller plastic pots stay cooler inside the clay. gives the plants room to grow and keeps you from overcrowding them. larger than 4 inch are just too big bec the plants get too tall for me but in theory you could make about up to 6 or 8 inch slats for pots but they get heavy too so lumber has to get heavy..

goldilock zone :)

What is the percentage on that shadecloth?

RJSquirrel 04-01-2023 03:26 AM

its 70% Aluminet right now.

Everything been inside until a few weeks ago. if they do fine I think Ill put up the 60% cloth. They really need more light as the growing season moves into summer.

:waving

.. another thing about the Squirrel "potted rail system" is the plants don't tend to fall over .
The straight lines and uniform pot sizes go a long way to curing my O.C.D. for order and form.
