Mini Lidl green house with no vents - plants will fry ?

hedgeh0g · 2009-04-20 14:16:07

There are no vents. Is it possible plants will just fry on a hot day? There a great heat inside (always condensation) Like so (not my blog) http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=1059

Yes, they will. By way of example, my 8'x6' greenhose was at 26deg by 10a.m. this morning, that's with shading on all sides and all vents plus the door open and coming after a night when min. temp was 2 degrees Those small green houses will easily hit 50 degrees in a short time, on a sunny day. Shift them into the shade or cover them with towels or such and leave zips open. A cold frame is a better investment.
