Tarev, very nice greenhouse and it was a steel! I was looking @ one of those to grow some tomatoes and may be something else but like you said $400.00. What is the temperature inside during the day?

This summertime, I see temps go around 90F between 2 to 6 pm..just thankful there is always a cross breeze that cools down the 'chids and by that time it is in shade courtesy of the trees.

It what I thought Tarev, 95F-100F in summer time. I have this problem in my sunroom, I think it is too hot for some plants. Are you going to put a fan?

No, not putting up a fan, there is some cross breeze even slightly inside, and I have the fountain running too on the side, so it hopefully helps in the cool down and our low humidity here. Thankfully we get a real nice cool down at night, goes down to 58-60 then gives the plants some breathing room again before the next cycle of heat shows again around 11 am.

Not all my orchids are in the growcamp...I kept the Paphs and Phals indoors Big Grin

My growcamp gets lots of cross breeze, so in your sunroom, make sure you have good air movement Smiling and they get shaded again by the trees during the afternoons, so even if ambient temps are quite hot, they still feel some cool shade.
