Greenhouse tour video

Hey guys I thought some of you might like to see a quick video walk through of my newly completed greenhouse. It was finally warm enough here in Colorado Springs to start moving a few test plants in, almost all the plants you see were moved in with in the last week.

The greenhouse is 48' x 20' and 13' high with peninsular benches. Right now I heat the greenhouse to 55F at night and cool it at 90F in the day. I have a 50 nozzle, 2 GPH misting system running on cycles, on for 2min 15sec and off for 40min, then completely shuts off after sunset. The misting system cover 2/3 of the GH the other 1/3 does not get any mist. I'm using a 60% Aluminet shade cloth that covers that same 2/3 that get misted.

I use a 150,000 BTU high efficiency natural gas furnace which is powerful enough to keep the internal temperature at 55F even it the out side drops to -30. The utilities bill has been running $150 a month but should be slightly less once I start filling it and get a little more residual heat.

Nice looking Roridula! I can't wait to see that full of plants.
 
Wowza, very cool greenhouse! Thanks for the great video. I look forward to updates.
 
That's one large GH...

I'm experiencing Heli envy. :censor:
 
Awesome! I really like that black nep...
 
envy ? NO . Envy ? NO . ENVY ? YES I just turned bright lime green .
that is a great GH do you ever get to go to the house or are you living in there?
I can sleep at those temps LOL.
Beautiful plants too . though they look a little lonely , you must fill it to the brim HA HA

I concur! But I'm sure it won't take him long. It never takes as long as you imagine it will to fill up a grow space, no matter how big it seems at first.

I'd have some fun with one of those sized GHs - before long I'd need a second one though! LOL
 
Very nice as your plants always are.
I wish I could have a greenhouse here.
 
Impressive! It has always amazed me that greenhouses get enough light through glass panes / plastic. And yet, a clear glass pane from a window doesn't compare.

fantastic Jeremiah. I guess the rajah set seed successfully? Sad to see the top growth die off. But well....I am happy that its growing back though.

Also...that is the best jacquelineae I have ever seen. Fantastic!! Fantastic!!
