Greenhouses produce their own environments. In the bright sun of the summer, you can count on at least 10F increase in temp over the outdoor temperature. That would be a minimum rise with outstanding ventilation moving outside air through the greenhouse. Less than adequate ventilation can see temperature rises of 20F-40F in some cases.I recently purchased and 8x6 greenhouse. In a different thread, it was mentioned that its difficult tonnage the internal environment of a greenhouse. I figured it would be better. I just want to protect them from eyes, animals and rain.
I also plan to start all the plants in my propagater and tent. Same thread mentioned light timing with the actual daylight hours and revegging due to bad timing.
My question is this...
GREENHOUSES.
What do I need to know?
Is it worth it?
More difficult than it needs to be?
Any little details your experiences have taught you will be considered while I mess it up for myself. Please inform me
The greenhouse will work great for garden starts like @Homesteader said. It will also work as a wind/rain barrier, and do well for you during the summer months providing you have adequate ventilation. There are a lot of benefits to using one, but you won't extend the grow season much unless you have enough sunlight during the fall to dry off the condensation from the previous night very quickly. Michigan falls are cloudy and rainy more than sunny. I'm considering running a few Early flower photoperiods by Delicious Seeds (Sugar black rose, and Delicious candy). Both should finish in September in my area.Ok. I'm now considering setting up the frame and growing them "outdoors" and jut putting up the walls on days scheduled with heavy rain fall. I dont have the time or resources to maintain an environment that doesn't want to be maintained.
It sounds like the moral of this story is it was a waste of money for me. I'll try to make it work. And I will make a grow diary for it so you all can tell me what's wrong. I'm so new at this I'm greener than my plants.
Thats what I do. I have pvc hoops with the small black netting ( keeps the deer and other critters out ) then when in flower and calling for rain, i pull plastic over it and leave both ends open. Works great manOk. I'm now considering setting up the frame and growing them "outdoors" and jut putting up the walls on days scheduled with heavy rain fall.
