Change your timer so that the lights are off during the hottest part of the day. 35 isn't that bad for your plants, they will actually produce more trichomes. Make sure to get/keep your humidity as low as possible during the hot weather.

A friend from North Africa told me the same question. "Water them, they know what to do." Basically, if they have enough water, they cool themselves by evaporation.

How does it affect the plant if you dim or turn off the light during this phase? I have almost the same problem - just before the harvest, and I'm worried about the heat..

It's a good idea to cool the the plant down with a aircooler (fan with ice) but the problem is that the ice smelts very fast and you going to have to refill the ice every 2 hours > this is okay if you are home all day.

Maybe dim the light down, set up a intake of you don’t have one, but turning the lights down in the last two weeks won’t effect your plant as much for the day or two when it’s hot
