Green house suggestions

A sturdy but very basic scrap wood frame and plastic tent extended the growing season in USDA zone 7 for tomatoes in the ground until mid/end of November. There was enough heat in there during the day to keep them happy enough at night to keep chugging along, and fresh garden tomatoes in November was a nice treat. Unsure of how this could translates to anything else, esp if you're growing in pots, but lol at that roof tent. Another caveat: the tomato tent attracted every slug. Every single one. It was slug vacation heaven. I never did it again.
 
5 gal buckets do great on all the grows ive seen here. 7gal are great too. I used 7gal with coco last auto grow, wasn't a great grow but got good buds at 5.5oz each
 
I want to thank everyone for the input. Finally got the greenhouse up.

The average looks good in the top graph for an average temp but the peaks look like a plant killer, and the RH looks good for seedlings.

I only used a greenhouse for seedlings because I suspected that.
 
They get hot, even with the vents open. I just took some measurements... vents closed all day, 72 outside air temp, 113 inside top center, 78 on dirt surface of 5 gallon bag. I dont know where you measured, but hotter temps up top can be slightly misleading. Misting the floor brings down the temps when it gets really warm.

I look at the tent as a season extender. Allows for dryer warmer start and finish. Not the best for hottest days in my area. My plants are outside the tent as weather permits. The tent is awesome for those unexpected thunderstorms, hail, heavy winds, etc.
