Rain's bouncing 10cm on the road right now, didn't even occur to me to drag them into the garage, if it were a tropical storm, that'd be different.

If it never gets a chance to acclimate you'll have problems the entire time. Is 104 good? No. Is it going to roast them like a turkey? Not if they have a decent root system and are generally healthy.
You'll find in really hot weather plants 'bolt' and stretch up super fast. If there's a way to partly shade them it would benefit. If not then let em ride. If they're wilted, pop em in the shade for a while, and they'll pop back up. I usually paint my pots white, to reflect the sun and not soak up as much heat, helps when the plant is little and the leaves aren't shading the pot out yet. Try to use a safe water based paint, or just buy white pots ;). Good luck!

I thought white pots were a bad thing ?

Not for outdoor plants in high heat or very sunny conditions. It helps keep the root mass cooler as black absorbs more heat from the sun. @Jjgrow420 has forgotten more about growing huge trees outside than I've ever known so he's one I would trust for sure.
You might be thinking of double JJ (I think that's his name) with those massive plants in that greenhouse! But I can hold my own too lol

Yup the J in the username was what my stoner mind focused on but I'd give whatever you had to say a very serious listening to. You have a great journal on your sponsored light grow that I follow. Just got you guys confused as I mentally pictured that shot JJ posted in the tree lot he called a greenhouse. My bad and thanks for correcting me.
