here is a picture of the 3 greenhouses already up and
today the 4th and final one will go up. the misting system
half inch hose winds around to the front entrance of every
greenhouse and then all i do is tap into the half inch
hose with quarter inch transfer barbs that hook up to
spaghetti tubing that is zipped tied to a stake with the
misting head attached to the end of the spaghetti tubing.
i use 5' stakes so the air gets misted for cool down along
with the plants. today at 45 degrees and sunny, the misting
system is not needed, but 2 vents are barely cracked and the
temps are at 77 today. last night was the 2 space heater
on high night and this morning it was 64 inside until the
sun came out and it went to 87 by 9 am. this is when the
heaters went off and then vents were slowly opened.
tomorrow with a work day, i won't be home to monitor,
so the heater will be turned off at 6:30 when i leave
and the 2 vents will be opened also. the plants will be
chilly a bit until the sun gets up high. if it gets cloudy
during the day, then my temps will drop drastically and
be closer to the actual air temps. at 60 tomorrow this
is no big deal. i am glad this crazy cold spell the last 2
days fell on a weekend so i got to monitor and fool around
with various vent openings and heater settings.
