Live Stoner Chat Controlling temperature in Greenhouse! (Question)

[WEEDOSHI]

Hey,

I'm doing a small greenhouse grow (only 1 plant) and the temperature inside the greenhouse is probably near 35c - 39c. I have no way of getting electricty within the greenhouse to get a fan in there to cool the temperature.

I've just plopped a new germinated seed inside, still hasn't sprouted, but its in there. I'm afraid of "cooking" the seed. I have a humidity dome around the pot itself, and its probably even hotter inside.

The greenhouse is in direct sun-light for 10-11 hours per day.

Currently. I managed to get a system running to pump fresh air inside the greenhouse in hopes of reducing temperature. I got a fish air-pump, and got a long 5M tube, and made some tubing to go inside the greenhouse. That way fresh air from inside my house is going into the greenhouse.

I've also kept the greenhouse open 24/7, but its still very hot and humid inside.

Any suggestions on ways to regulate temperature without having to install electricity to my greenhouse?

What i used to do was remove a few pains of glass opposite end of the door, to get a bit of a draft blowing through. You can also screen/paint the glass with special glasshouse paint which is easily wiped off when you need to, or even a fine mesh that throws over the roof. For now get your seed on the floor where it will be cooler or you will cook it, good luck, let us know how you get on.

Shade cloth over the glass should work too. It will reduce the light but most important, the temps should be lower during hot spells.

Shade cloth is the way to go, I'd definitely invest in a good amount for where I'm at based on how crazy hot it gets.
