Howdy there, I was just wondering why do you want to shade it? I'm growing in a poly greenhouse and was thinking about it to control heat. Is it necessary. In your opinion?

I use sun shade. There are many pros and cons to this discussion. I use sun shade. When my greenhouse poly sides are rolled up, the solar heat is removed by ventilation. This 2012 outdoor season I've used the shade twice now and its 7/24. There are USDA studies on the effects on yield and quality when using sunshade. Hell, I've found a peer reviewed study on the effects of sunshade and THC/other Cannabanoids while using various shading cloths.

Cheers,
Dick
