Got hit by a severe heatwave this week! Temps reached 104 in the grow tent even with the lights off and fans at full blast. Threw some ice in front of a fan to help but it was not enough. Also doesn't help I went one day over when I would normally water them. First day of reasonable weather today. Plants seemed sad and droopy for a day, luckily after feeding they perked right back up. Defoliated slightly this week. Will definitely NEED air conditioning moving forward. Aside from that, the odor these two are creating is already mesmerizing. Best I can describe the smell so far is, a mixture of sweet pineyness with a light pungent funky undertone. Can't wait to switch to flower in a few days! Going to be flushing both plants this Sunday 05/31.
Any creative ways to mitigate heat? I have a 6in Inline duct fan working at full capacity along with a fan circulating air inside the tent. Temps are hitting triple digits outside as well as in the tent even with lights off. I've put a bowl of ice in front of the fan.
Snag an AC unit. Or with an active intake system, you can make a chill box and run ducting into a styrofoam ice box filled with dry ice. This will make it cooler while adding a boost of co2 hope this helps! Happy growing!
Congratulations on the new baby. She looks good at first. Choose a good variety. For a treat. Keep doing what you are doing and have the growing ganja gods protect your women until the growth is complete.
