Set up of climate control for the pumpkin. This comes in handy late in the season as our humidity and condensation levels go off the charts in Alaska. The hair drier on low heat helps dry and warm the air from the side with the overhead fan mixing and stirring the warm dry air around the stem area of the pumpkin. With the hair dryer placed at this distance with the mixing the temperature is around 85 degrees. I can set up timer to coincide with the weather for the day. The only way to ride out the wet season in an Alaska greenhouse.
