First week in the box, plants looking good had a little issue with pincher bugs and it's been 40-43c.

Looking good Pablo. Any reason you're growing lots of smaller plants outdoors, rather than fewer bigger ones. Pheno hunting, or height management maybe?

I get 2 20 pound harvest and 1 15 pound harvest out of a 8m x 4m area. It would be pretty difficult to produce 35 pounds in that area with full term plants and the quality is never as good due to the days getting shorter with less uvb light during are fall season here. Large outdoor plants are a pain in the ass to support full term one windy day or storm can ruin months of work

Makes sense. Lots of support structure needed for taller plants.

Very cool garden Don. Great controlled outdoor setup. Do you use/need fans if leaving covers on for a days, when raining?

I don't use fans but it wouldn't hurt to have some. Usually put clear on for rain and remove it when it's done

Nah no auto covers yet, it's not to difficult covering and uncovering, I've had some hoop houses that are 30m in lenght and never had an issue

do you fill the hoop with sand ?
