Just keep the water up to them and they will be fine. I have had plants outdoors in summer with 10 days of 38+ , peaking at 47, and did not even get one burned leaf. It was hard work with watering, but the plants survived unscathed. While obviously not ideal, your plants will pull through. Watering them now with a seaweed extract will help fortify them against stresses. Reducing light intensity and increasing ventilation will also help. If not doing so already, running your nights at night and having the dark cycle during the day will also help. If need be, just give them an extra long night to switch your timers around to "lights on at night" rather than giving them an extended "lights on" period.

Your plants look ok....so no need for real worries. Yes, temperature can be a problem, but hemp is a herb and you would be surprised what they can endure. Of course we want our ladies to have ideal circumstances, but if that is not the case....well, so be it. So keep light intensity down, distance up, increase ventilation. If you want to invest, buy an air cooler, or you decide to grow strains that are more resistant to heat, like strains from tropical countries for example. If you really dont like the result tastewise, beause the temp destroyed your terps, you might consider not growing indoors in summer.

I like to use SuperThrive to help with the stresses like this a day or 2 before the stress period

My best low tech advice would be to keep good air circulation moving and keep humidity in range (you can allow higher humidity with higher temperatures check a VPD chart to find the best humidity range for your temps). Keep the soil moist, you’ll probably go through water faster at higher temperatures and humidity. As long as you can stay in an acceptable VPD range for flowering you should make it through. You will probably burn off some terpenes in the heat, but you’ll get to harvest. Good luck 👍

That’s 95°F, the roots haven’t boiled yet? I remember I once was wondering why my arrow garden wasn’t starting seeds very well, I put my index finger in the water and it was like boiling lol

Evaporative cooler will add to RH and limited cooling effect. You could also force air through a large opening that exhusts through a smaller opening, which also will reduce temperature of the air coming out the other side. Neither evaporation or manipulating pressure will have much of an effect. A few degrees cooler at best in a small volume of air and the evaporative cooler will be less effective the higher the starting RH is. You need an AC or simply power through it. 35C may not be optimal, but the plant probably won't die because of it. I'd suggest a different perception about harvest time. Don't perceive it in a top-down manner. It's done when it finishes and there's lots of variability involved - some out of your control and some within your control. "2-3 weeks" seems optimistic. So, don't hold yourself to some pre-ordained timeline. It's good to plan and hope for the best, but harvest is a reaction to what you observe in front of you and nothing else matters as far as what "should" be.

Hi there, firstly it looks like you are doing a great job so far. You did the right thing lowering the lowering the intensity. You can also reduce light hours to 11/13 You’re in soil right? Make sure your next feed saturates the entire pot with some run off give them a good soak then let them dry back as you have been. This is a method could work I use it myself. Get a bucket fill it with ice, put some paper towel hanging from the bottom over the edge of the bucket and get a fan blowing at the paper towel. The paper towel will absorb/wick the cold water and the fan will blow against the cold paper towel this is a way to get moisture and cold temp air. I’m also battening the heat, it will be ok just try not to feed too much base nutrients if you are in soil especially as they will be absorbing more water rapidly. Hope that helps 👍
