The type of glass or covering used in a greenhouse plays a crucial role in light deprivation, influencing both the quality and quantity of light that reaches the plants. Different materials, such as clear glass, polycarbonate, or specialized greenhouse films, vary in their light transmission properties.
Transparent or translucent materials can facilitate the management of light cycles by enabling efficient blackout systems, such as curtains or tarps, to be deployed. Certain coverings can provide insulation, helping to regulate temperature and humidity levels.
