SoCal Greenhouse update

[#drgreenthumb]

Its 104 in the greenhouse and I have to admit at fist I struggled with keeping my girls from going limp but a little change in the watering time/regiment and boom they holding up well. The humidity at night has been 89% and 99 in the green house but we'll be getting that Santa Ana winds soon so hopefully all will be good going into flowering.

I had this same issue. I use a product called Recharge and Silica. Within a few days I was getting less wilt during peak heat hours. After a week I have no more wilting leaves! Give it a shot and see if it helps!

look into putting in a swamp cooler idk where u live but if its fairly dry out there itll work wonders.

Why even bother with a greenhouse in so cal this time of year? Im growing in the wide open, it wont rain again until after the harvest.

greenhouse = 2 crops a year....

Days are short enough in so cal you can flower any time of year without light dep. Plus this isnt doing light dep. He is struggling to keep temps and humidity down when all he needs to do is remove the GH. Its totally pointless this time of year.

Out of sight out of mind. Many greenhouses have roll up sides and open ends for good ventilation...

my greenhouse is literally the only thing keeping my plants alive , with all the wind and high temps, i have a water wall in mine (swamp cooler) plus i get 4 harvest a year.

When the santa Anna's blow some folks dont like dirt and dust in their buds. Also one of my properties got hit with 3 moonsoonal rain storms last month..

So when santa ana winds come just zip up the greenhouse so no dust comes in and let us know how that goes. Lol.

Havent seen any santa ana winds for some time now....

You guys are grasping at straws.

If you ever get the chance go to the santa ysabel rez. They have a dispensary with commercial greenhouses. It will answer all your questions..

Yeah this isnt a commercial greenhouse. Its a cheap plastic toss up with no cooling.

I run a nursery biz and have a professional greenhouse with evap cooling. But I still dont bother with it this time of year. Theres no point.

So what is your point? You cant build a greenhouse around the plants in september.

 

[NirvanaMesa]

Still dont need a GH in september. The point is its making things more difficult and not doing anything of value. But hey I know the truth upsets some of you guys.

Lols. Thanks new member for your expertise. How about the moonsoonal rains??

Havent seen any of those for years. But OP didnt say what area of so cal he resides. We dont get those near the coast. The mountain areas in san diego get them. The vast majority of people living in so cal are not experiencing monsoonal rains.
