Can't Control the Heat!

[whitlow]

So day 46 and the heat is CRAZY it's going to be 96 degrees plus outside and today my tent was 94 degrees. The plants are sounds ok but not seeming to be using the water I thought they would. My light is on 100% and the par is between 800 to 900. I was wondering if lowering the light down to help with the heat but now sure how it will effect them? I've seen where high heat allows everything down including the amount of water they use. Kinda worrying about them and don't want them to crash! They have never seen temps below75 degrees and most of there life 85 pluse degrees.

Here's so pictures I took this morning.

I'm guessing that you don't have air conditioning?

They are just starting to look heat stressed, and if they are slowing down water usage that is another sign of heat stress. I would definitely turn your light down, even without the heat that PPFD might be higher than you really need so backing it off a little won’t hurt a bit.

good luck!

Is there any way you can exhaust to the out side of your shop. You're just recirculation the heat and RH back into the tent.
Even if you can't go through a wall a long bit of ducting out if window would do you proud.
