perth grow room

[max_Shredder]

hey whats up,

 

Iv'e got a perth grow room (Greenhouse) and it gets into the 40's which I know Is extremley bad for the plant.

 

Its tinted plastic and gets alot of afternoon sun which is apparently the worst kind?

I would like to know if theres anything i can do to minimise the heat generated in the room,

cutting holes in the roof is not really a option and i can have a fan installed, but i dont know that the fan will be sufficent as the room is 2M wide,5M long and about 180cm in height, and this is a standard 40$ house fan.

I was wondering if there is any other way to dramatically decrease the temp and the cheaper the better (and the house is a rental so nothing extreme).

 

I did have my plants in there for a couple of hours one morning and when i got in there they were completely limp (just wondering) is this heat exhaustion because there always well watered.

 

oh and i dont use all the room in the greenhouse this is my first gro so only 4 plants, mainly indica/sativa X.

a few square of shadecloth held a couple of inches above the box is likely to help.

Wilting of plants CAN be the result of heat/dehyrdation. As suggested before, use some sort of shade to decrease the heat being received by the outside of your greenhouse. Shadecloth set up tightly 2-3 inches from the stucture over the afternoon sun side will help a lot. Even cover the wall that receives that morning sun, but not the morning sun part of the roof.

 

See if that helps, ventilation is another story. Maybe have a whirly-bird or two installed in the roof.

Otherwise, leaving 2 spots in the greenhouse open will provide enough air, and keep the heat down.

hi, it looks like you a case of lights being not well ventalated so that would deffinatelly contribute greatly to the heat problem. as soon as you ventalate better the temp should drop down to 27.

Can I ask why you're even using a greenhouse in summer?

probably for controlled environment?

 

 

u do need good vents in the green house, either from the sides or above.
