Here my story so far...
We have a "cheap" small 6'x4' greenhouse here in Spain which we had on the balcony. There is very little sun (only in the morning), so I put the greenhouse on the sunroof which must be the probably sunniest place on this planet, BIG MISTAKE. I measured 117F (48C!!) in the greenhouse at noon, this with a fan going. (And yes I cut vents in the greenhouse too, but no effect really).
So we immediately put the greenhouse down at the balcony again which is basically always sort-of in the shade, and we got grow LED lights.
While there is no murderous sun anymore and I think the LEDs solved the light problem now, temps STILL can sometimes get pretty high, I mean this is Spain and right now we get to 38C (100F) around noon.
Humidity seems fine tho, between 35% and 50%, depending what time of the day.
I am still worried about the temps and really don't WANT to put an A/C in the greenhouse. (Utility costs here in Spain are outrageous).
I wonder whether 100F on exceptionally hot days like now can be a problem? I am asking since I see people grow in SoCal where it's hot as well and it seems not all strains have a problem with heat?
Really going crazy here, not much luck with groing anything here so far.
