Green house grow

I’m looking for some advice from people who have done greenhouse grows. I’m thinking of doing some auto flowers in my greenhouse and wounding what auto strain would be best for a greenhouse grow? I’m in Alaska and we are getting around 14 hours of daylight right now and it’s unusually warm so I wanted to get some seeds started what should I look out for in a greenhouse grow? I need a way to regulate temps so I’m thinking of installing a exhaust fan connected to a thermostat and how could I keep the smell down? I mean I don’t have to worry because it’s legal but I also don’t want my neighbors thinking I’m some crazy stoner. Any advice y’all have would be much appreciated.

Hahaha no,I should have written I don’t want the neighbors knowing I am a crazy stoner.
Haha I have 0 greenhouse experience and 0 Alaska experience but I know a little about odor control. You're gonna want a carbon filter hooked up to you're exhaust fan. You can get them as a kit. What size greenhouse?

It’s a 10 foot by 12 foot.

How hot does it get up there in summer? Is your greenhouse set up with a certain sized port or could you rig pretty much anything?

I did a greenhouse grow a few years ago with a Dinafem Blue Amnesia XXL. As it got later into spring and summer it was very warm in there; not sure what your temps might be but I would suggest getting come shade cloth. It got some big ass buds on it but they got a bit roasted towards the end and wished I had pulled it outside. Here is some pics I dug up. Oh and get some active venting, all I had was the the auto opening vent, leaving the door open and a room sized oscillating fan.

Sometimes in the 80s for a week or two but so pretty hot in the green house. I have a powerful 12 inch by 12 inch exhaust fan with the Louvers that shut and it actually keeps it pretty well vented and temps stable around 80-85 degrees and humid.

Man she looks gorgeous! I just planted 2 red poisons and a crystal Meth and a lsd-25 all autos. Should be about a 9 week grow temps get warm around 80 but I’m thinking my exhaust fan pulls in a lot of cool air I guess I’m going to have to let them smell up the hood. Should be interesting though because we are going to be getting a lot of light soon already at 14 hours of light soon to be almost 20 so they should get pretty big.

Too funny on your new gurls at the same time I was doing a CM and LSD-25 inside. It was my auto experimentation era, now it is got me thinking of throwing one on the patio for summer... :weed:

Do it, those girls look stunning! It’s my first time with autos but I think autos would do great in a greenhouse especially in Alaska with so much daylight. I really can’t wait to watch these grow.
