Dealing with Texas heat in a hobby greenhouse Male
Default Dealing with Texas heat in a hobby greenhouse

Hi all. It's my first summer growing in a greenhouse in Texas. I was wondering if anyone here grows in a greenhouse in a similar climate that might have some tips on lowering the heat.
I'm working with a 6x8 harbor freight gh. I have 60% aluminet shade cloth, a windowsill swamp fan rated for 400-600 square feet and a pond fogger. All of those seem to help lower the heat pretty well but thanks to ALLOT of rain recently we have slightly higher humidity which makes the swamp cooler work not so well. I'm still able to keep the temps under 90 with the swamp cooler and fogger on but i'm looking to drop it down to something a bit lower.
Any ideas?
