Well the greenhouse it at the school its a small wooden structure greenhouse (I also dont have my phone nor my iPad, i have a PC camera though LOL) 

Oh about the greenhouse i did some tests with a thermometer (Stayed there all day finding the highest temp) It got to 78.5F or so just from UV alone the greenhouse is NOT heated The high that day was 59 i think but the low was 37 and the day before was cloudy so no extra heat i just took the average (Cause it wasn't 59 all day lol) which was 47.2F The increase in temp from UV alone (Which is UV 4) was 31.3F! Man! Ima do more recording today I also will try to take a picture) (The UV intensity is also increasing so more heat! I have a bird of paradise that i splitted into two plants a very nicely sized pygmy date palm for 30$ that was like 4 feet tall i got a few days ago, and a Dracena Corn plant (Starting spinach and swiss chard in a black tray heated microclimate) 

It will get down to 22 on a sunnier day after the 3 cloudy/rainy days so ima test to see if those plants can survive not worried about the bird of paradise or Pygmy date just the Corn plant leaf burn at 33F i tested lol

Here i also put my Metrolina lime and something Bordeaux fig in here lol. it hit 93.5! i started spinach in here but i think its just going to bolt. ima start marigolds and maybe a pumpkin seed? we have a winter storm watch (Didn't expect that) i knew there was two winter storms coming through but i thought it would be up north not down here that's what i was talking about those 3 cloudy days that's the winter storm. Won't get cold, but there will be cloud cover so just hope for the best? Very nice greenhouse as you can see lol.

I do have a greenhouse at the school (Basically is mine) but at home I don't have one at my house but yeah i will get one at some point. Man, the temp drops a bit when the sun is gone it's like 89.3F now. (Also probably cause I'm going in and out while its windy) there are areas in here like the roof bottom that needs to be sealed cause i can feel the cold air seeping in. hopefully I can fix that!

You should see if you could run some power to the greenhouse and get a small heater

ehh a high power 1000w you know those orange cables those are the highest-powered ones they only carry 1000w you need 2000w minimum for a heater. you would have to run a regular i forgot the name of the cable but its also a long distance between the nearest building and the greenhouse think like 2 country roads apart like 4 small lanes. to run an actual home power cable to set up a 2 outlet thing that would prob cost 1500$ for materials. Yeah no. I have researched that lol not gonna happen.

Not something a person would like to spend that much money on. especially only if someone is only going to use it for 4 years.

Yeah I guess it's not worth it for you because you're only going to college or whatever, for 4 years there sooo I guess not.
