7.2 Poor Ventilation/Temperature Control

• Issue: Greenhouse is too hot or too humid.
• Solution: Ensure the adjustable roof window is fully operational and open as needed. Keep the door open for extended periods to increase airflow. Consider adding an exhaust fan for improved air circulation in very warm climates.
