Thanks peps. Now to answer a few questions.
Only the top is plastic, the walls are mesh & let air thru. The wind just blows thru. Haven't had any mildew but I did loose 1 plant to Spyder mites.
My plans for controlling them was, each plant has been topped at least once. The WW's twice. & 8' wire cages. I had not planned beyond that.
The plants are as far apart as I could & still get 6 plants inside. They are about 5' apart.
Peace

I use a very complicated method for keeping them in veg. 100w GE bulb & a drop light & timer. The plants have been on 18/6 since Jan.
It gets dark around 9:00pm, so the light comes on at 3:00am. I'll keep the light on until Aug.
Here's a pic from last month that shows the light.

Here's a video update from the greenhouse, today July 4th.
I've added a 4'x8' sheet of remesh wire to the top of the 8' tall cages on the WW's. I will attempt to scrog them. I sure hope this works!

Sorry Lerry, I forgot to answer your question. No this is no substitue for a real greenhouse, but for what I do it works great. I don't count on it for any security, just cover & concelment. And protection from moths! Argh! No my security is stealth & 8' solid wood fence. Molly keeps them on the correct side of the fence. I don't even let the meter reader in, I read my own meter. I let Molly bark & growl at the door every Halloween, so all the neighborhood kids get a close look at her, angry! And I give out the BIG candy bars on purpose. Works!
Here's a view from the street, stealth
