3. Temps in greenhouse had dropped to 55F some nights during winter. Will insulate non sunny sides to keep temp about 65F. Heater won't have to work as hard at night. Cold and wet are never a good combo.
4. Not watering pot at all if its humid in greenhouse.
5. Got a stronger fan this time around.
6. I think I will get one of those soil moisture probes this time around.

Fabric pots are one of the simplest ways of controlling moisture. A pot could be completely saturated during the heat of the day for maximum growth and most of the moisture can be quickly removed when it cools by placing the pot on an absorbent material. Moisture wicking can be a great advantage.
