I put my gh up a few weeks ago, but it's been trial and error since then. Daytime temps have been in the 60s to 70s, but when it's sunny it gets unbearably hot in there. I finally got some shadecloth and made a cover. I would have preferred to have the gh sitting sideways, then I could have just covered the sides and top (no sewing!) But the door had to face south or else there would be no air flow, and the wind would blow into the top vent. Since I put the cover on the temp inside has remained stable, and my plants are looking happy.

I got this for houseplants, but now I'm thinking I would like to start some seeds for the garden. So when you start seeds in a gh, does anyone know do you still cover the seedlings up, like with one of those plastic dome seed starters, or is the humidity in there sufficient?

I need all the advice I can get!
