Closeup of how the system works in the hoophouse inside the greenhouse. 1500 watt heater runs continuosly all night blowing hot air through the ductwork wrapping warm air around the base of the plants and ending up right up against a 5 gallon bucket of hot water. Water gently adds moisture to counter the drying effects of the heater. For insurance I added another 5 gallon bucket of hot water on the right side before pulling visqueen over entire structure for the night. I have to monitor the weather daily. If cloudy, cover stays on and heater runs. If sunny, cover comes off for more full sun. This routine will go on until they get planted in the ground. Part of the game if you want to grow this far North.
