New Grower Green house

[skyhiggh]

So been thinking its time to buy a green house for protection so people cant see my babys in plain view outside.
How does a green house work?
Does this look big enough to grow four plants at a time?

First question is what is the climate like ware you live?

I live in south Florida In the states so tropical and were about to start getting cold relatively speaking low 70's is cold lol but in December and January we will be in 60's in day and 50's at night. And it rains all the time but raining season ends this month more or less.

That is certainly big enough to grow 4 plants in, if not more. Even in FL you will probably need some supplemental heat in the winter. Once soil temperatures drop and stay in the 60s or lower the plants more of less stop growing. The uptake of phosphorus is effected by the low soil temps and you'll likely run into relate issues.

So do you suggest getting it? Would it be beneficial to plant growth? Im sure I can find some sort of heat source maybe heat mats under the pots?

I could put it up against thouse next to ac unit. Where its warm And its South Florida it really does not get that cold I could also keep them off ground with crates?
Just dont understand how the green house helps plant grow if there not under sunlight.

The whole idea of a greenhouse is to let sun light in and also have the ability to control humidity and temperature and also protecting the plants from unwanted elements like bugs,birds,rodents and inclimate weather conditions.To grow a succesfull crop you need as much sunlight as nature provides or a way to provide artificial light when sunny days are in short supply.
