I believe it, and fear the same thing! If I RELY on a cloudy morning staying cloudy all day, it will surely surprise me.

I'd have to learn what amount of venting assures no-cook conditions. I read somewhere that tomatoes can stand a lot off heat IF the air is humid enough, but I don;t knwo whether to believe that.

Also, RAPID temperature swings have to be bad for anything.

What I would really like is to be retired but well-to-do, and build my own microcontroller-controlled greenhouse, with temp and humidity sensors, motorized vents and maybe some motorized shading slats, like Ventetian blinds. Dream on!

It might be more practical to just buy a 5-tier indoor seed-starting towers with lots of T5 lights ... and find room for it somewhere.
