I grow outdoors in temps that regularly exceed 35 and often 40 and multiple times each summer, with peaks of up to 45-48 (Celsius!) for a day or three in a row, also multiple times each summer season, and as long as the plants are moist, suffer no ill effects regarding yield or potency. In fact I think trichome production is encouraged by the extreme weather. The plants are in full sun all day, every day and from day one until harvest. A few days at 32 will be just fine and not a need for any type of stress for you or your plants. Just keep them well hydrated and all will be fine. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Hello. Plants generally have trouble transpiring (breathing) over 35* C. It was just 39* C in my greenhouse 2 days ago and everything is fine. Hot and humid is even harder on the plants. The plants come through the heat better if the roots are cool. I give some cool water in the afternoon to help. Chuck.
