My 2560 Gienger’s main touched down yesterday! The rocket-ship 1620 Pritchard next to it will be culled soon, as space in the 4’x4’ warming enclosure is quickly running out. During warm & sunny days I take the tops off all my inner enclosures, but it still gets REALLY hot & humid in this “CO2 enclosure.” A couple days ago I let it get up to 115 degrees before rolling up my outer greenhouse sides to let some cooler air in. You could see steam pouring out the side of the greenhouse as it vaporized in the 65 degree outside air. It was awesome to see. In just a few minutes CO2 levels dropped from 1285 to 500ppm. Then I closed it back up & it stayed about 100 degrees with 1200ppm CO2 & 70% humidity for the rest of the afternoon.
