I think it would cause the plants to over heat, by magnifying the sun
rays. Yes, I know this is just to be used during cooler temps, but in
early spring you get those peak warm days. Will I have to remove this
during those days?

My sister has used them for setting out tomatoes early in the season.
They are not sealed at the top, allowing excess heat to leak out. The
problem she has had with them is that they stay very humid inside and
she has had stems rot if the weather is moist.

My experience with the WOW"s is that they're a hassle to set up and to take
off, and they maybe get a ripe tomato a week earlier than my other
transplants. I've decided that the trouble & mess isn't worth that week of
earliness.
