Yesterday it peaked 96' in the grow room. All the girls survived but how much can they take! SOooo, I have a plan of action to fight back today. Simple AC principles in action. Air blown over cold materials and onto subject. This will have to do till later when forecasts are bringing in relief with lower day temps.
By the way the Salivas in this picture are giggling in the heat.

Damn, that's hot :firedevil: Definitely hope you figure that out, mate. The air across ice will help some.
 
I would just focus on keeping the roots cool man those babies won't mind the heat.

I have to agree with greenthumper here. If you are keeping the plants water enough, the greenery will be fine, assuming you can keep the roots cool enough.
I did the same thing as you did, to bring the temps down in the box itself and that does help some, but it isn't as effective as keeping the roots cool.
Last summer I had a horrible time with my vegetables, which were all container planted and elevated to keep out of the reach of our dogs. They were well hydrated, but the roots just could not get cool enough to produce fruit.
If I were in your shoes, I think I would try to freeze lots of containers I could pack around the roots. With your room being that hot, I doubt that even if you packed ice directly next to the pots that you could get the root temp too low.
