Haven’t been on here in a while. But in the second week of flowering. Switched to spider farmer sf2000 for now to see if she can handle that much light in a small space.
Temps got to 88 degrees as the highest. Night time temps ranged from 70-75 degrees. Leaves show small nutrient burn but nothing major. Still green. Bottom leaves are somewhat yellowing. Light defoliation at the beginning of week 3
Plant is showing steady growth. Space is limited so I’m Gonna do my best to keep this plant as short as possible. Haven’t been keeping up on here but I am on week 6 and the plant has been topped once, and two of four branches are held down. Accidentally let the reservoir get real low on water a few days but she handled that well. I gave her a half teaspoon of lotus nutrients in 3 gallons so far.
I limit my max temperature to 85f (30c) in the top of my tent in summer and don't notice much difference in yield versus winter when my temps are lower.
But, 88f (31c) really isn't bad. Keep in mind that these plants evolved in some really inhospitable climates. A hot, dry almost desert with the occasional goat herder pissing on them and they still grow. But, as the temperature goes up you need to pay more attention to where and how you are measuring temperature. A thermometer will see a very different temperature than one at the top of the tent, and different than one at the top leaves. If you're getting 87f at the top of your plants I wouldn't loose sleep over it. Do whatever you can to lower the temp a bit but don't let 88 scare you.
Yes, at these high temps photosynthesis efficiency will decrease and given you're in flower you risk negative effects such as hermaphroditism, foxtailing, wilting etc.
If it's unavoidable, make sure she's well hydrated; then hope and pray.
