Re: heat ?
I grow outside. Temps in my area are just now starting to come down from the summer. I've been way over 90 most days for the last 6 months and my babies seem to be doing fine. Don't get me wrong... that sort of heat is and issue... but it can be fairly easily dealt with. Strain selection is a key issue in high temps.
Cheers!

Dealing with Summer Heat Indoors
I try to keep my indoor temps below 85F as recommended by Jorge Cervantes in the growers bible. I have since learned that this a general rule. Certain strains can take more heat as others are more sensitive to it. 1st thing I would suggest is add a dedicated exhaust fan taking the air stale hot air out of the room. Do u have fresh air being ducted in? If u don't have a way to, I recommend aircooled hoods unless U have vaulted/tall ceilings. If that doesn't seem feasible then I'd suggest installing a portable AC unit. Heat interferes with bud development creating loose, "airy" buds with a spongy type feel when squeezed. Leaves also curl up from the sides like a taco shell as a result of high temps. This has been my experience. Hope some of this helps.
