Greetings:
We have been enjoying what is colloquially called 'juneuary' in Western Oregon. Until yesterday that is. I moved the 'chins into their new
summer home yesterday afternoon.
Today I woke to find the overnight low had gone down to 48F. Yikes. I didn't have a thermometer in the (toy) Greenhouse yet. Everything looked fine.
GH is on the West side of the house and I knew from observation it wouldn't get any Sun until after 1PM. I moved their plant light into the GH and it is set to come on at sunrise.
First question: is it worth it to just leave the lights on their usually sunrise/sunset cycle or have them go off at 1:00 and come back on at ... ??? More observation. Looks like shade from a nearby building limits actual sun to around two hours from 1:00. Leaving the lights on for now.
Now for the real issue. In the living room the humidity stayed around 50%. I thought it would bee much lower and it would be once the A/C started being used. I was shocked to see it plummet right down to 25% as the temp went north of 80F in the Greenhouse.
I brought a plastic storage tub and filled it and that did nothing. Finally I dumped out some of the water on the ground and that got it into the 38% range.
More plants would probably help but for now its just the seven or eight. Is there something automatic and not too expensive that I can do to get the humidity back into the 50's? Actually I had ben hoping for much higher.
Advice on this and also how to fill up a (small) greenhouse in not too long of a time gratefully appreciated.
Oh the (no) Humidity!
