Actually, I'm a Who fan. the rest, ehh. I'm a HUGE Delbert McClinton fan! I take my acoustic guitar out and sing to them. I think they like my singing. Plants have bad musical taste.
Also, I'm getting a similar greenhouse, how are you combatting heat? Or do the windows vent enough?
Yeah I'm at 45, West coast, and mother nature has decided she wants to jump up to 107 for some ungodly reason.Because I'm not in a super-hot area (Mediterranean climate lat 37:30), heat has not been a huge issue. On really hot days (85F+) I have fans I blow in there AND, I have two trays of PH-balanced ice cubes and I put them atop the soil when it gets hot. They melt, the roots stay cooler and all is well. Caging them up today. High here of 79. More heat is coming and yet ANOTHER way I help them is with extra watering.
I have 21 gallons of already evaporated water in the back yard, ready to add. It's only three gallons per plant which, on a hot day, will help keep the soil cool and moist. If we get mid-90s or hotter (once this year so far), I use four gallons of water per plant, with the ice cubes melted in the rest of the water. Again, will keep 'em cooler and they will transpire cooler than they would with 80-degree water.
Gotta keep in mind, as paranoid as we all are about our plants, they're pretty tough, esp the Afghani-based strains. Fucking TOUGH conditions, even without war (thanks Bush and Obama) so they're tough plants.

Thanks for the info!!

Wild Strain From The MidwestAt 107, I'd be dumping the ice in my trays and freezing some PH-balanced cubes. That would mean about 130F in the top of the greenhouse and 110 at the soil level. Water the living shit out of them, that will help. Do NOT let the water you're using for the plants sit in the sun for ANY length of time unless you want to boil your roots. I'd lift the sides of the greenhouse because at those temps ventilation is key. Fans would be useless against that kind of heat. I'd also use a spray bottle and spray water on the fan leaves. If you can set up a shade cloth, a light-colored one is a great idfea (white is best) reflects heat and light.
But the more Afghani-dominant your strain is, the tougher it'll be. I know nothing of sativas except to identify them by their fan leaves. I have one sativa plant (a freebie from the clone guy) and it's doing fine but I consider it dumb luck.
I see your latitude in OR, I'm guessing you're not out in the desert. If you have a journal, give me a linkie and I'll sub...
Wild Strain From The Midwest
Thanks brother, I'm getting sketched out now, Thursday is saying 109. I'm so glad I got ac last year lol
I was thinking of adding something like an attic fan and putting it up in the corner so I can have some really good air transfer....
I was thinking of something like a through-ceiling style like an attic vent, put a little 4" fan in there set to a temp controller and ride.How would you mount it? The structure of the greenhouse won't take that kind of weight, unless you're talking about something I'm not familiar with.

I try to be. I'm big on self-reliance.Jeez you really are prepared for anything!
What size container? I'm growing in 45-gal smartpots.I've grown both Sativa and indica dominant strains and not a single plant has been over two feet tall. And most were vegged for ten to fourteen weeks. But then I love training my plants and do so extensively. Only my second run of Blueberry Kush did I not do much training and did very little defoliation. But they are a low grower. They weren't taller than about 20" yet had 20+ colas on fairly even canopy and yielded about five ounces each.
One of these days I'll grow out a sativa that the breeder warns triple in height in the stretch and see what happens with extensive training. The top half of my tent would like to see some bud at some point!
