We are finally getting things looking consistently good! We will see what happens when the temps skyrocket, but vdp is staying more consistent. Even though my door is half open, my t7 Humidifier is helping manage vdp better.

Temps not too bad so far i sure would'nt want it at 90-95f later in summer in there.

Me either, but unfortunately, I dont think thats going ot be possible for an outdoor grow in oohio.i think even 90-95 will be ok, its the 105+ days that worry me! Im going to set up a mister this weekend on the outside that automatically comes on and cools down the outside of the hoop house above 95 degrees. It may or may bit work, but its worth a try!

I'm building a loop house this season, but putting it in an area that doesn't get hit with direct Sun. I'm also creating it so that 1) the Sides roll almost all the way up; and 2) there will be open doors on both sides. This is literally, to your point, to keep the weather off the plants, which became a nightmare last year.

Last thing in the world that I would do is Mist the weed plants. Growing outdoors, it seems that is just begging for bud rot.

Yeah, my thoughts were to mist them before flower, but instead im just going to mist the outside on the hottest days of the year to help keep it in check. Im in direct sunlight all day, so its going to be a fun challenge!
