Greenhouse Insulation

Hi all
I insulated my unheated greenhouse with bubble wrap last year and I wondered what people thought about when to take it down? It managed to get below 1 once this year in my greenhouse, and generally my overnight temps are 3-6, however during the day the temp sky rockets and I'm worried that with the reduction in light transmission my seedlings are getting a bit leggy. So is it time to take down the bubble wrap?
Thanks

I've taken down the layers on the roof and top half of the sides but left the bottom in
Tbh I don't know why I left the bottom in, but it seemed like a sensible idea at the time

I have taken mine down already, now I need to put the shading up.
I think it depends on where you live, my vent window is opening when the sun is out.Treat other's how you like to be treated.
