Is 92 degrees really so bad?

You gotta think that the avg temps this time of year in places close to the equater are approaching 90. Any vets out there had successful grow when their temps stayed in the lower 90's?

any time plants are in temps over 90, they transpire. this meaning instead of normal respiration(co2, water, and nutrient uptake converted to sugars forming cell structure), they simply sweat. they take the water and transpire it through the leaves to cool the plant structures. similar to our bodies sweating. ever spent a day baking in the hot ass sun? you need lots of water. you'll be fine if you are flowering(end), but growth will be nil to none. make sure you water adequately! these plants do it in the wild, but are on a mission to only make seeds for the next generation. if you are trying to make weight, get an a/c, your just not gonna have plants thriving in that heat.

i've got a dehumidifier that i used long enough to find out they send temps thru the roof and eats electricity like i eat ho hos. do yourself a favor and spend the money elsewhere on your grow.:peace:

i will reiterate, plants will live and grow in high heat, just not as fast as they would at 80 degrees. the important point is to water adequately in that heat. the plants will grow in the cool of night. just dont let ur plants run dry. i gotta get me some ho hos or ding dongs now.

Small portable a/c units are a good investment if temps and humid are issues. It kills 2 birds with one stone for you. And lookin for some fuckin Ho Hos!

I think they'll be a little fluffier than they would have been at "ideal" temps,but it can survive. For the person with the humidity issues, I'd say just get a bunch of fans on your plant.The big thing folks worry about with humidity is mold.If your canopy has plenty of air circulation,you'll be good.The fans make the plant stronger,and they dry her out a bit,which can lead to more resin production, yum! I had three fans on mine,and her trunk was huge. My temps got up to 92 or so right at the end, there...I noticed her growth slowed, but that also could have been because she was close to harvest.I added a yeast mixture for co2,and my humidity stayed at about 60 in the room...but since she was getting the fans,it was probably less for her immediate vicinity.

Plants growing outdoors in Afganastan or in temps of way over 92 degrees just grow VERY slow or not at all, until the temps get cooler. In high 90s, they just move water around but they do not get taller or bigger. This is a good article here:

yep, yep , and yep. forgot about someone's rh problem. try venting, just pull some air outta ur grow room, that'll take the rh down. make sure u r not overwatering, as this is the most common source of high rh indoors. mmmmm.... ho hos:joint::joint:
