Sounds like you have done your best with ventilation, maybe you will be ok. My experience in a "green house" was not good. It was a roofed shelter of poly, with one end wide open. I got mold every time until I did a test of Phyter/rotblock. The Phyter grow was completely mold free, the other two grows in there were hit hard. I salvaged some bud, but lost lots.

The real danger symptom that I noticed is that my plants in the greenhouse guttated regularly (drops of liquid on the tips of leaf serrations). If you see this on your plants, you are definitely in the danger zone humidity wise.

Bottom line for me is that at least at the humidity I deal with, I would not bother growing cannabis outdoors without Phyter/rotblock. If you can get your mitts on some, it might help if you are not too far into flower.

As to the smell, the one grow I did in there was so smelly, the dearest complained when mowing the lawn 20 meters away.

Good luck with it.

Rojer dodger I was looking at guttated or how ever you spell it last nyt a guy in here did 1000 plus plans in a large green house seen someone else mention it so did a wee bit of research am going to add a dehumidifier to the greenhouse for night time and get the small heater going in tandem should sort my issues out cheers for the advice

Good luck with it mate, I hope it works out. The other thing you should add is a fan or two to keep those leaves rustling. I think air movement helps a lot when RH gets a bit too high.

Anyone watch the adam dunn show last night? They had on james loud and he said they are doing crosses with the Anvil coming out this year!

ok..show of hands...who didn't have a girlfriend/wife that didn't have a Princess Leia costume in the closet?...

Mine didn't. I think it must have been left behind when she moved here. Not enough room in the small car. She would have had to leave the cat behind. A decade or two before I met her, mind...

I have two old intake fans blowing full whack in there all ready I think the issue was it's a cheap plastic tent type greenhouse so it's like a plastic bag I've cut several horizontal slits at the front and back of the greenhouse and attached both fans to the roof sucking in air I'll add a humidifier for the nyt time as buds get going should do the trick

Yeah, ventilation is an issue with most small commercial greenhouses, even the expensive ones. If I ever get around to building one, it will have a serious extraction fan, as well as sides that roll up. Most small ones I have seen in use have water running down the walls - a very bad sign when it comes to our favorite plant.

@arty zan ...you know one of the few things I have is the blue copper sray......and I had it out the cupboard already....
coz @Mañ'O'Green suggested my Avacados were suffering from a fungal disease...same Symptoms as the cucumber.

So I mixed it up last night...a bit weak...sprayed again this morning...

The white grape vine I have suffers from fungal mold....so I had it for spraying that.......... .....


Somewhere...somewhere in my canna fuddled head.............I'm sure I read that is was like Shading for plant leaves in high temp stress........could be wrong though...cough..cough.....

Good afternoon@mossy
I know nothing!
I have not heard of Copper Sulfate being used as a sunscreen for plants, Copper sulfate on it's own will harm leaves, the added lime in Bordeaux mix make it gentler so it can be applied to leaves..

Bordeaux mix (Copper sulfate & hydrated lime) I had a look on the interweb and did not find anything, which isn't to say "It can't be used as a sunscreen on leaves in high heat areas", just that my search criteria may not have been specific enough!

It is possible you read an article, from a person who knows what they are doing, or from someone, who stumbled on it by accident.


I will return to the search at another date, as I am doing prep for my out door grows.

It is taking a lot of planning, especially logistically wise, as I am on public transport and foot!

Everything is carried on my back, who knows in the future I may get a car but for now, it is just me on shanks pony!

Today I put my "Chicken Shit Pellets" & "Blood, Fish & Bone" into 600ml soup containers (keeps it dry and not smelly) and weighed them, so I know approx how many Sqr meters each container covers!

Cut chicken wire, for protection around plants, to stop rabbits and deer!

Was I hoping Mr. Postie would deliver my 100 guerilla tabs I have ordered but no dice, I have to wait until Monday!

Once again pouring over maps and looking a Google Earth, to find alternative routes in to places etc.

I discovered some security cameras protecting waste land from "gypsy/travelers" and had to find alternative ways in, that was a head scratcher but I found a way of doing it and not being seen!

Packing a bag - Secateurs, log handled loppers, heavy duty gauntlets, folder spade, cammo clothes, chicken wire (4ft lengths folded into small form factor pieces) monocular, so I can prepare the site ready for plants!

Last few weeks has been non stop planning and buying gear for the grow!

Next year I'll be ready in advance, I blame @Waira and his outdoor comp! Well, No, not really, It is the best excuse and the best medicine I could have! 6 months no growing left an empty hole in my life! I now feel recharged and full of energy, now I have a grow starting, it just makes me so happy to growing our favorite plant again!!!
