I want to put up a 16' x 16' x 9.6' Solexx Conservatory (quonset style) greenhouse and power it off grid. I figure my wattage requirement will be 400 watts---running 2-4 18 w heat mats, 2 48 w LED grow lights, a 33 w submersible air pump for a 600 gallon fish tank, and 200w for a fan. Besides season extension, my use for the greenhouse is plant starts. I have symphylans in the garden that eat roothairs. If I transplant from a 4" pot when the plant is more mature, the soil has also warmed up enough that the symphylans have gone deeper.
Does anyone have experience/advice to share?
I'm in SW Oregon, zone 8 if that's important.
