How much heat stress is too bad?

Oh great gotta love the summer weather and global warming....am I right? So yet another heat wave coming through this week and I was wondering how well the gals will do. I keep getting leaf curl no matter what I do because I can't drop the temps in here. Hit 90 today ugh. Any tips (ice on fan...etc....lol) not much I can do hope for cool weather.

Air moving over, under and around. They can take heat. Drooping is a natural response. Don't overwater .
 
I guess one of main concern is high heat low humidity. Is there any tricks other than Humidifier? Thanks for the quick response seems like we always around the same time lol. Well I got work I'll check back in the AM thanks for all the help man.

Heat stress is totally strain dependent, do your homework find a strain that thrives in the environment you plan to grow in, allot of indica does not like heat, however there are plenty of strains that like it hot and humid, try seedfinder.com or Leafly these are good resources to check out strains and the environment they love allso grow tips ect.

Last year the heat messed up my grow ended up with a bunch of popcorn bud, I am now running an ac, my temp is steady at 75f, however there are a few things you can do, put a fan on your plants at all times when your lights are on, aim the airflow low so it disperses the heat up and away from your plants, I would allso fill a pot with ice water and put that in front of fan it will work for a bit, allso I put out a few pots of cold water around my plants every 3 days or so it was so hot all the water will evaporate, my best advice run an ac!! If this is not possible I stick by my original advice find a strain that likes hot and humid weather they do exist.

I’ve also been dealing with a hot summer her in SoCal! I’ve been freezing large water bottles and putting them in front of my fan, I have a few and keep them in rotation.

If it gets to hot I plan on making my own AC from a ice chest like in this video I linked.
