nice nice... Are you gonna put that weed plant that you sayd you stole, in there? Nice, I think that will provide a nice moist environment for vegetative growth. (not flowering)

manure tea is great. And you can use the manure in your soil mix too. IDK where you're from I hope the fan is strong enough to move enough hot air. U dont want to fry your plants

also that fence. you might want to replace boards and make the part that the greenhouse sits on sturdier. reinforce it somehow. becuz it would suck coming out to find out someone jacked your girls in the middle of the night with ease from popping a few loose boards or planks out of the way. just my 2 cents.

I grow in a greenhouse, and I use lots of one gallon bottles filled with water as a thermal store, they help to dampen the night / day temperature swings by acting like a storage heater.

Another thing worth doing is keeping your plants under netting, I made a frame from 40mm water piping inside my greenhouse that is used to support netting which keeps all the flying insects off my plants and prevents me from ever getting caterpillars.

Also if you think you are prone to getting mold late in the season, then you might want to consider a Sulphur burner (vaporizer) to run a couple of times each night, I have mine run for fifteen minutes an hour after nightfall and again another fifteen minutes an hour before sunrise.

And for good measure I have an oscillating fan running all the time.

open buckets will make it humid, you want closed up container like drums or one gallon water carriers

My greenhouse has a window in the roof, and I open it right up when the temps go that high; I find the black pots and soil get it good and hot when the sun is shining so sometimes I cover the tops of the pots with white board or polystyrene sheets to keep the sun off them.

I do find on cold nights, the important thing is soil temperature, so if you're temps stay lower than 50°F for more than four days or so it's worth insulating the pots with carpet and polystyrene; sometimes when it's been really cold I use an electric heat blanket
