Request for advice,
My Lily (Lilium longiflorium) crop is just reaching Visible Bud.
Height is on the tall side so I am trying to control with a
negative DIF.
The greenhouse is primarily heated by a hot water system with a
gas forced air heater for backup. Unfortunately, the boiler is
down for about 10-14 days awaiting a new heat exchanger :-(
The unit heater is not keeping up. I would like 68-70F Nights,
but can only maintain about 62-64F and the soil temp is 54.
So the question is: If I put an unvented propane space heater in
the house will I run a greater risk of damaging the crop with gas than
trying to catch up on timing later?
Or shall I run up the day temps and have the tallest crop in the west?
Thanks for any and all opinions,
Michael Layman
