Hello:

so its hotter then heck outside. My air intake is sucking in 95 degrees air. The air exhaust for the room is a 720 cfm vortex going through my 1000 watt hood then outside the room into the attic. I have installed a air conditioner on a wall of the grow room but it does not exahust its heat outside the building...it goes into another small room which in turn gets to 130 degrees almost so the air conditioner would start a fire or who knows what so I have shut it off. So my room is reaching 95 degrees without even haveing my light on. This is my first grow and I have 10 clones in plastic cups that are begging for bigger pots. I have the plants in my bedroom where its cool under cfl lights and a oscelating fan and they are doing fine at this moment but I wanna get them out to the grow room so here is my question.

Can I just transplant the plants into 4 gallon pots and put them in the grow room under 24 hours of cool flourescent lighting and keep them there without the exhaust fan running untill I can either get one of those portible airconditioners with the exahust ducts to run outside or the heat wave cools down next week? I think I can keep the room at 70 degrees but there would be no air exchange from the room till I can fire up the big fan on the 1000 watter....next week its gonna be 70 degrees and next month I can afford a new airconditioner.

Long post I know...sorry but I need help with this.

Can you believe a very nice person here on rollitup gave me 10 clones..each of a different strain just to be a nice helpful guy. Man I love these forums and these type of compassionate people. I really need the medication

Yes it is.

Garage with room attatched

Can you take a clone from a plant when its in full flower mode or almost done?

From what I understand, you CAN take a clone from a flowering plant, but it just is never going to be as good as getting one from a vegetating plant. The problem is the flowering plant has changed all the hormones and stuff to work towards budding instead of growing. If you clone the plant, it has to change gears completely and start creating roots and growing. So the clone from a flowering plant will probably be more likely to die, and if it survives, it will probably take longer to root and get started growing. I've never tried cloning a flowering plant myself, but that's what I've heard from other growers when I asked the question.

Ugg u need ac bad, I would cool the entire garage and use it as my buffer room but that might not be practical.
Yes...I know. Its not gonna happen till I buy the portible one with the ducts. But what can I do tell the heat wave subsides? Keep the clones in these small cups till end of next week? They are ready to transplant now. I guess I could wait but man I dont want to mess these up....

any suggestions?

Should I worry much about spider mites or anything like that while they are not in my veg room? I have that sucker air tight as hell and its pest free where my house is not. I could keep them in my house till the weather coold next week.

Make sure the area is clean and disinfected. Lots of air circulation and keep humidity at 50% or so. Keep them health and happy and they will do fine.

Ok...thats that then...they stay in the cups in my room under cfl till it cools some and my room is safe. I will get a portible airconditioner asap.
