Well, that was fun, greenhousing at 2 am. I'm actually at 2 degrees above the outside temperature right now. All the water I have in there is helping a lot. I have about 1,000 gallons or so. The open troughs are steaming like they are on fire. There is a thick layer of condensation on the greenhouse plastic, which I can only presume helps to add to the plastic's r-value. I think the water is the cure for the radiative cooling effect, either from its mass, or from the humidity it creates.
