DryGair Greenhouse Tips for Winter

With the winter season approaching, the shorter daylight period and the colder temperatures have a significant impact on maintaining greenhouse climates.

The good people of DryGair have put together a list of best practices and winter greenhouse tips on how to maintain your greenhouse climate during the winter months.

1. When it’s cold outside the best thing to do is close the greenhouse

The best way to deal with humidity when the temperatures are dropping outside is to use a dehumidifier.

 

 

 

2. Save energy costs by heating less

Keeping the screens & vents closed in the greenhouse during the colder weather and using DryGair to control the humidity, helps to keep the heat inside the greenhouse.

3. Thermal screens

Using thermal screens helps to prevent condensation, keeps water off of your plants, and reduces the change of any humidity related diseases.

4. Increase dehumidifier use

To prevent high humidity during the colder months simply extend the operation duration for your DryGair unit to include night, early morning, and late afternoon when sun radiation levels are lower.

5. More grow lights equals higher humidity

During the darker winter months, more supplemental lighting is used. Extra lighting adds extra heat and radiation to the greenhouse that increases plant transpiration. Make sure you monitor the humidity levels closely.
