Controlling temp in greenhouse


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Greenhouse is 8ft by 6ft. Temperatures are hitting upwards of 28C.  It has two roof vents (Auto open), one side window oppersite end of the door, which I also open. So confident there's enough air circulation!

I've tried a 24 and 45 watt fan to push the air around a little.  Spraying the floor, but struggle to bring the temp down at all! A few pitchers look as if they're getting heat stroke! 

Time for a little shade cloth in the afternoon? Or are these temps ok for the sarrs?

Trying to think how I might control the temps moving into Summer months. If anyone could help ..

 

Regards

 

Neil

Thank you both for the reply. Reassuring too know they can tolerate such high temps (briefly)

Currently using x4 tomato grow bag trays, so plants all stood in about 1 to 2 niches of water all the time. I will look to upgrade these with some deeper ones, as to hold a little more water.
