Just keep a close eye on humidity, flowering marijuana plants put out a lot of moisture.

will do and if i do get it i was planning on raising it another three feet so it would be 10 high and that should bring in some airflow
or would raisng it and having a open bottom defeat the purpouse of a greenhouse

Unless your gonna grow a winter crop, marijuana dosen't need a greenhouse. Raising it should help a lot.

I bought from the same seller but I got the 12x20. Its junk, dont waste your money. Mine lasted 2 1/2 months before the sun delaminated the cheap plastic cover.

So doublejj, I could grow outdoors all year with a greenhouse? I am in the Sacramento area.

A real greenhouse? Yes.

Not one of the carport greenhouses. But a real greenhouse with heater, you bet.

One problem I see with portable type greenhouses like this is that the cover simply slips over the frame and in high winds this thing can become a kite, literally. And if you have designs of lifting it three feet off the ground, that would compound the situation. I say this because I had one VERY similar to it and had nothing but problems ie: the winds battering the entire thing, the cover blowing away multiple times, the cover tearing, etc. Then again, if you have little wind in your area or good windbreaks, it would likely work for your intended purpose. My similar one lasted me a few months and got my plants off to a fine start, which is what I needed it for. I then trashed it and coughed up the money to buy a real greenhouse and poured a cement slab for the base, setting me back merely $500

Here's a permanent structure greenhouse that will last for years properly taken care of. I got one for around $330, They aren't incredibly durable, but works fine for me.

Yea that's true. I had 1 like that that ( still do ) and I had it set-up in ht espring to keep my babies warm at night. I had it on my deck with rope tied to the deck and around the frame so it couldn't blow away.

i used one this year works great they are supper light if your going to i would make the bottom out of wood rectangular prism part and keep the half circle part so it keeps its shape. you want to keep everything as tight as possible wood helps you can nail or staple gun the plastic the less play the better it will still flex a little. dont raise it that one already has flaps its better for the wind to go though it not to mention its harder to peg down go with 2x2s or 2x1s

Making your own green house with some sort of grow cover and either pvc or steel piping would be cheaper. Humidity can be a problem though so air flow(as mentioned) is crucial. However look at the cold frame or high tunnel green house this way;

1) you plant earlier
2) harvest later
3) control watering by bottom watering only
4) reduce insect damage
5) protect plants from weather/wind etc
6) prevent animals from attacking your plants

You're also creating an insulated environment that keep the plants in a tropical environment. In some cases if you're in a really hot area with 95+ degree days all summer long a greenhouse to reduce light transmission would be beneficial. Not a massive reduction but enough to reduce possible damage to plant and or stress that high heat can cause. Most plants placed upon this earth don't like extreme hot weather. It's pretty dry and hot in Sacramento and never gets too cold year round so you could certainly make good use of a greenhouse. If you're planting directly in the ground other times of the year say after you harvest you can possibly plant beneficial plants to improve your soil. Beans for example do wonderful things for the soil by taking nitrogen out of the air. Peas as well and other legumes. If you've got enough airflow the reduction of bugs will be a huge benefit. Your area never gets cold enough to bring out the mass bug funeral. They never stop. Protective cover over your garden will make them at least knock first.
