Hello all:
I'm just wondering how many of you that are growing in the gh employ automated fogging/misting as a means of cooling in your greenhouses? The combination of shade cloth (30%) and venting/exhaust fans keeps my gh about 10-15 degrees cooler than the outside temps, but with us being in the triple digits as of late, I've installed automated fogging to help keep the temps a bit lower (hopefully). Currently I have the foggers set on 2 hour intervals, for 3 minutes a go; do any of you have any frequency advice for me? My system is not hard plumbed, it's not an option where my gh is sited, but at 55g reservoir would be an easy switch if need be. Thoughts? Fogging does not occur after 5pm, typically our temps have dropped enough by then that all is "cool" in the gh; and I'd like all my foliage to be dry by nightfall.
