Am I worrying to much about trying to achieve the day/night temp
difference,do you find then that in greenhouse culture there isn't prolonged
temps that stay the same,i.e. 55f on cloudy days which surely if continued
at this temp will do the plants harm?I suppose everyone's conditions are
different so it is a case of trial and error.I am only flapping because it
is my first year in the greenhouse and don't want to kill the plants.It will
be a good learning curve through the months to come!

All we try to do is knock off the extremes -- misters to keep the temp

below
95F in summer, heat to 55F in winter. In between these extremes,

whatever
the temp happens to be is what it is.


We raise it to 65 during the day and let solar gain take it from
there. Here in Co it is not unusual to have the roof vent raise
in Feb. because it has gotten to 80 in the afternoon. OF course
the next day it may be gray and not climb over 70. So I let the
excess heat out and hope enough stays to temper the heating bill.
