Recently apparition of diseases in the blackberry crop (Rubus subgenre Eubatus) in Los Reyes Michoacan, Mexico, has gotten economic decreases. Soil-climatic conditions, erratic plus laborer crop and climatic change, have favored root rot, ceasing to cultivate them with economic losses like 2 540 million Mexican pesos per year (125 million USD). This work aimed to analyze thermal variability to know the alternative to cultivating tomatoes in a hydroponic greenhouse system. Normal data meteorological base and numerical fluid simulation (CFD) were used to feed computational models for analyzing the environment of two typical greenhouses in Mexico. The numerical models were evaluated through a one-way ANOVA analysis with p £ 0.5. Results show that the temperature in the greenhouse is kept between the maximum and minimum threshold for tomato cultivation (10 to 30 °C). To accumulate 1 398.5 Degrees Heat Days (DHC) recommended per cycle, it is feasible to store heat to grow three short tomato cycles in that region. Critical periods are identified due to high temperatures in March to June, during which natural ventilation is required with front, overhead and side windows to improve the air renewal rate when there is a change in the prevailing wind direction.
