When you say "large blower," what do you mean exactly?
When it is 95F in the GH, what is the outside temp?
Do you have shade cloth?

Most of us cool with a combination of shade cloth, ventilation, and mist/fog.

Here is a little light reading on cooling ;-) http://www.igcusa.com/greenhouse_cooling_information.htm

I have been watching Nautical's GH weather data site, and in zone 7 he is keeping GH temps at or just below outside temps with adequate exhaust and misting, without shade cloth, I believe. The pic is a screen shot, I hope it comes out.

Here is some of our past discussion: http://local.davesgarden.com/forums/t/702633/
