i recently had to move my grow cabinet upstairs from the garage...the lights are on from 8 pm-8am (im in flower)... at 8pm and all throughout the night the temp is 90f steady, when the sun comes up in the morning the room can get as hot as 95f, i know this isnt ideal but can someone EXPERIENCED please tell me, is this a really really big deal?...the plants seem fine...when the lights go back off @ 8am the temps drop to a steady 77-79 degrees....my humidity stays at around 35-40% lighsts on and off and i have a little fan blowing/circulating air 24/7... im sure a million people have flowered in 90 degree flower rooms before....but i need some insight...thanks team RIUView attachment 1616907View attachment 1616908View attachment 1616909View attachment 1616910View attachment 1616911

Your plants can definitely survive those temps but the quality of your buds will be very diminished(some strains do a little better than other though). What I have noticed is that when you flower in high temp rooms, you can get Solid yields but the trichome production(resin) goes way down.

Conclusion:

Is it doable? Yes

Will you harvest some bud? Sure

Will it be high quality? Probably Not

Get an AC brother, it will the best investment you will ever make.

thats cool, i figured as much, but im so out of space, that i def cant fit an AC unit INSIDE the cab, and my temps im drawing from are pretty stable at 79ish cause the room the cabinet is in has a window AC unit...its kind of my only option to run it as is, i can always put it back in the garage after this harvest,lol, i spent sooo much fuckin time settin up this venting situation!...well see, thanks hymen...+rep

95f is a little bit high put more fans in there needs to be around 75-85 but should be easy to fix :)

cool, thanks, so i already have one fan in there constantly on the plants, doing much more than fluttering the leaves but not blowing them over, i think that should be cool, i cant really do much more...fuck it,lol

Thanks for the questions and answers. I worry about this too even though my temps are rarely over 85 I am certainly aiming for quality. The outdoor temperature is around 65 at night and is regularly about 85 during daylight hours. This is my first tent grow at these temperatures. Since the temperatures are borderline I'm hoping to avoid the AC.
