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.

The idea of using clear pots is very interesting for watching root growth. I haven't really come across those. I'm curious to see what is available with those. I have mostly used some fabric pots and greenhouse pots for my larger plants other than the ones in the ground.The soil moisture probes also seem like a great idea especially during cooler months. Hoping to get started on a greenhouse myself next year.
