I understand thatbut will the excessive heat hurt the plants. I always keep the soil moist and I have fans blowing gently on the plants to keep the air circulating. As long as the soil doesnt dry out do you think ill be fine?

Energy savings possible with radiant energy barrier insulation (http://www.radiantbarrier.com/energy-savings.htm)

foil the inside rafters then build a small enclosure of the double bubble (hang it from the rafters) then seal w tape and THATS what you ventilate
