Greenhouse 101 Video

[CascadiaPalms]

Did a study on a simple cold-frame greenhouse with a lot of weather data and observations. I totally understand some people will experience different outcomes based on a lot of things, but this was just my experience.  Enjoy!

I like it you have done your homework A+ A lot of growers don’t understand that a good grow environment will produce great results making life easier for the grower. Understanding all the different factors and using them to your advantage in a grow enclosure. The old saying if it looks good it grows good. Air flow, thermal mass, location that and the  things you mentioned play a big role in a grow structure. From my experience round or half moon shape greenhouses produce the best palms for some reason in my climate. A steep pitch gable end does just  as good but you can’t beat the rolling air in dome shaped roofs producing better results with the rolling air. Thanks for doing a little research into it.

Great video with some interesting outcomes.

It is good to have a fan running inside a greenhouse to reduce moulds and bacteria from building up in addition to the benefits that you have brilliantly documented. I leave a fan running inside mine the whole time my greenhouse is closed up.

Thank you!  I put a lot of time and research into this.  And yes, even I learned a ton.   And you're absolutely right about the dome shape.  Thank you again!

Great point!  Air will definitely avoid that in happening.  Thank you again for the comments.
