Dude it needs to get wicked hot in there to do that much damage. Were you gone for a few days or something? I walk out and open my GH as I'm sippin my first cup of coffee.

Were you trying to raise soil temps or something? Thats gnarly. I've never actually seen that happen and I've stepped into some super hot GH's.

Why don't you get some clones cut? Its not too late. Or buy some. I plug seeds the first week of may usually if the weather is good. That is a bummer deal. But they will honestly probably pull out of it by 6/1

I'd foliar a light dose of kelp.

it sucks but it's my fault for not paying more attention and being on top of it. I tried to use the greenhouse to give my plants a head start and they ended up gettin fucked up instead. i would have been better off just doing without it like last year. oh well

That SUCKS!!!! Can you water them with something like B52 from Advanced Nutrients or something? Maybe that will help the shock they've experienced. Sending out healing vibes.....

If you try the hoop house again, leave the ends open during the day so the wind will blow through and let the heat escape..... I know...too little too late. At least it's not too late to sprout more seeds for the season

yeah, crop protection is a juggling act. here, it's going to need vented out almost every day {maybe even shade ~even in the spring} & closed up at night during spring/fall

that's where you could use a thermometer that alarms for highs & lows. i bet there's something that would call your phone?

a dedicated greenhouse would use a large ventilating exhaust fan that comes on at higher temps via thermostat control

Bummer on the starts shcrews, maybe they will bounce back though.

I think you should have just used real GH fabric. I have had bad experiences with that Home Depot plastic as well. A couple years ago I bought the 'clear' plastic and the plants just weren't going for it. After a while I noticed that the plastic was actually casting a shadow, and was allowing minimal sunlight through. I know there's other clear plastic that will work better, but the stuff I tried using was not very good for tying to grow plants.

At least it's not to late, and you can always triple plant again!

i fab'd up a mini hoop house a few years back. no sooner did i get it finished & populated & we got a windstorm that just demolished my poor little hoop house. i'm going to have to figure something for light dep & that late season i need to protect during the night is when the wind will be an issue

it's a quandary

i should have got a decent structure instead of pvc
