ok so i have a big problem, its summer here and its freaking scorching hot out lately and will be for the next couple of weeks or so.

the temp outside is between 80-100 lately, so inside my house is kinda the same temp and i have no ac unit or anything to cool my house. therefore my cabinet is about the same temp if not higher, my temps are between 80-90 degreess, and definitely not good.

i have 2 xbox 360 fans ( 1 intake, 1 outake ) a small 6-8 inch fan and a box fan thats pretty big would say bout 18 inches or so width and height both blowing air directly to my lady. but she is not looking good.

i think she would die here soon, and shes not done flowering. should i chop here down asap? or should i wait? if i would wait how long do you think? and looking at the picture how long do you think she'll last if i leave here in the cabinet, cause i would chop her down and start drying curing but she aint that ready yet, i would want to wait longer but i gotta do what i gotta do

thx you in advance!

Not much you can do bro. I would add another intake and exhaust fan to improve air circulation. Don't chop her down early, that would not do you much good. 80-90 is not super bad, just make sure you feed her water and keep her happy

got to sort that get sum ossilating fans it wont help the temp but it will move some of the warm area from near her ...

ok so my temps being about 100 degrees in my cabinet should be a problem as long as i got lotsa air circulation and feed her water when i need to, then i would be able to wait til shes completely done, and i dont have to harvest early?

have one of those fans blowing right over the bulb, it's very important if your using HID lighting and more helpful than blowing air right on the plant.

kevin murphy is on the right track osc fans will move air and not wind burn the plant by focusing on it. if you have to have high temps you gotta move the air.

Among the other good suggestions here, I would consider adding some homebrew CO2 to your setup. There are a few guides on RIU, which shouldn't be too hard to find using search bar. I'm not the most experienced grower, but I've read in several places that ample CO2 helps the plants deal with higher temps.

my lights are cfl btw, i have about 7-9 bulbs = about 180 watts. if i do the ice thing wouldnt the ice melt fast? since the temp is pretty high, plus my lights. then the water?

and looking at my lady, how many more weeks do you guys think before i chop it down. i have a microscope that magnifies from 60x to 100x, but its kinda complicated to use, lol, and im not sure where to focus it on, i just put it on the bud and i see them trichs i think is what their called, but they look kinda milky or clear, im not sure if its clear or milky cause of my microscope.

yea the ice melts fast .. but its the waters condensation that helps cool the air around it . You should only have to add ice once in the a.m. and once again late evening . the trichs look like little mushrooms on the bud , hairs , and trim leaves . Its the head of these little lollipops that you are looking for. If you cant get a clear view ... just watch the hairs on your main cola and harvest when 50 to 65 percent have turned dark . This usually gets you pretty close to prime time .... just dont cheat yourself this far in - take the time to dry and cure it properly ... its so worth the time it takes : )

The salt will drop the water and ice temp so the ice should last longer then with out it. Ice cream so to speak or more like Brine water in a fish hold. It in ables you to drop water temp below freezing with out freezing solid. freeze some water filled milk cartons in your freezer. With no AC at home you should probably sit in front of a fan yourself ! haha. Good luck !


Our heat is on the way . Ity's been holding off so far. Ahhh Summertime. At least our heat is dry heat.

Rock on!

yep high temps will not kill your plant, just make it grow less... better than not growing at all
