we use multiple environmental controls to handle equipment inside the greenhouse depending upon complexity we’d point you in the right direction
What outside temperatures start upping green house costs?
Conditions more so
it’s crop dependent for sure, i’ve seen a lot done with a little and i’ve folks with all the bells and whistles struggle

Cannabis, just curios as I have never grown in a green house but I do know it has effecting even indoor growing and my drying and curing rooms in the past, I am also looking into vegetable but for now just cannabis. Huge power spikes in the summer months exp
I am in Canada where we can see a damp -20C for a month or two with 5-15 ft of snow
heat, dehum, and lighting will be necessary. the goal of the greenhouse is to keep you within a set of ideal parameters so the output is the same everyday/cycle of the year
Yah I have all of those in place. just curios if the green houses have and restrictions. my rooms all ways have a vacuum on the to guaranty it is its own controlled environment.
Hey Adam, Happy Halloween! Thanks for hosting this really informative AMA!
How does AgraTech differ from the competition out there? Do you offer consulting services?
What is the difference between Polycarbonate & Glass?
Do you hire greenhouse contractors who have worked for other companies? How many members are on your team?
Thanks again!
Happy chatting and growing!

That’s what I was trying to ask thnx
The truss design of the Solar Light’s purpose is to collect condensation from the covering and prevent it from falling on to crops and ground. Condensation on Cannabis flowers lead to disease, quality loss, and culling. here is a link Commercial Greenhouse Solar Light | Natural Ventilation
correct air movement is major
along side VPD in my opinion
Hey Adam! Thanks for hosting the AMA. I saw earlier you said something about concrete floors being a tool in sanitation. Do you ever use epoxies or coatings for the floors of your greenhouses? If so, which kind?
Thanks,
Mike
Hello @adam.pound,
I have a question you may have information on but may be more of a grower issue,
Do you think Greenhouse grown Cannabis is on par with indoor grown?
I ask because there is regularly a price gap between greenhouse and indoor craft cannabis.
