As soon as the sun is shining there are about 40 degrees in the little greenhouse. Way to hot…every window already so opened up.
Do you have any tips to get the temperature down without using a fan or additional electricity?
Do you have experience growing with such high temps?
The greenhouses at work can creep around 50c in the peek summer months. It's insanely hot but plants can endure. Improving airflow helps and your plants are gonna want to drink more. It's easy to give a heavily drinking plant nutrient burn so it's advisable to run your solutions a little more dilute than you might typically.
They look to be tolerating the temps just fine, Someone else asked a question about 42c weather on their balcony. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure it has enough water and the medium does not get to hot/dry. cooler roots are key, plants will show the stress its having with heat on the leaves, they will taco or bend up and towards themselves like a hard shell taco.
One option to help with this is increase the airflow and using ice cubes to water to lower temps of the medium, but it won't do anything for the air temps. and it will also water them at the same time.
Again I don't think they're showing any signs of heat stress and its fine.
Good Luck!
More of s statement then a question...
If its wet keep them in i guess and put them out when its nicer. But plants get wet its kinda what they do in the wild. Sucks in flower and best to shelter them but its fine in veg.
Good Luck!
What exactly is the concern? Are you in flower and don't want buds getting wet or is it plants in veg and you're worrying about flooded pots? Do you have a covered porch or some sort if awning? There are lots of DIY "hoop house" projects using PVC and painters plastic drop cloths for making greenhouse like structures.
I wouldn't worry about plants in veg unless they're seedlings. If you can't cover flowering plants, shake off the excess from the flowers after the rain stops.
30 days after germination ZKITTELZ and ZTRAWBERRIEZ go into flowering
All 3 Ladies started with the stretch.
Fortunately, the weather in Germany was a little colder than usual in May = Perfect Temperatures in my greenhouse!! Otherwise it will her too hot in there. So it was good for the ladies in the veg. phase.
I think the wrinkled leafs come from too early and too much nutrients in the All Mix.
ZTRAWBERRIEZ and Gorilla Punch don't need much longer. In this week the pistols all were coloured in orange. The buds did their bulk perfectly.
We got temps +30 degrees so in the greenhouse there Are +40 degrees. The following week should get cold and rainy.
ZKITTELZ needs a little more time but also is doing good.
As you can see at the beginning of the video, the Gorilla Punch was infested with spider mites at the end. I sepereted her directly outside the greenhouse.
High time to harvest them before something worse happens…
After 67 days in total from seed to harvest she got cut off👨🌾
it is dried in a cardboard box in the cellar at about 20 degrees
Because of the spider mites there were some rotten buds, maybe 2-3g i have to cut off. It was definetly the smallest plant of them all. The bud rot is caused by the plant herself... nearly every bud was produced directly at the stam buds directly at the stam.
The Ztrawberriez Auto is very resistant has a great sweet strawberry smell throughout the garden.
As you can easily see from my grow question, I was initially afraid for the plants due to the high temperature in the greenhouse (as soon as the sun shone ~40 degrees).
It turned out that the plant seemed to like it and rewarded me with beautiful buds with purple tips. Growdiaries won't let me delete the question otherwise this would have happened long ago...
She finished very quickly and took just 70 days from seed to harvest. All this confirms that fastbuds is the right address for autoflowers. I'm already looking forward to the next run.

already harvested the big headbud, because its very wet outside in the moment and i dont want my headbuds to rot.
The deeper flowers of the plant look like they need a little bid longer. they are smaller, so the chance of bud rot is lower.
to dry them the box is standing in the cellar with around 20 degrees, but definitely to wet there as well :D
sorry for the bad pics, got a problem with my cam.
Update: after 5 more days I harvested the rest. I am curious to see how much it will be after drying
Summary:
ztrawberriez and zkittelz were a blast for our 1st time outdoor grow, about 25g each dried and trimmed.
Gorilla Punch had a problem with bud rot because she only produced one big cola. So there were only about 10g from that purple gorilla punch
