Neil_C Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 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 ..

Alexis Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Temperatures should be absolutely fine. Try increasing the level of water in the trays to increase the humidity and prevent any pitchers going floppy in the heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Not an issue as long as there's water in the trays. My greenhouses go just over 40 briefly/occasionally and the plants love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil_C Posted April 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
