Just BEWARE of how fast a greenhouse can heat up.
You wouldn't believe it. If your hoophouse is
covered with hard fiberglass panels, use whitewash
made of hydrated lime, water, and salt. If not I
guess you'll have to use shade cloth. A fan and
misters hooked up to a timer or humidistat would
be good too.
