New Grower First ever grow: AutoWhite Widow, OG Kush Auto, Solarflare LEDs

What's ur light cycle? 18/6-20/4 or on 24hrs? As changing wen ur light when it comes on make a massive difference, so say the hottest part of the day have ur lights off, run it mainly in the evening when it's a lot cooler, Also Get a OSD tower fan in ur tent, notice u haven't got one in your set-up, this will help move the air about and will also help ur lady's build a strong root from the breeze, run ur carbon filter and inline fan, this will get rid of the heat and stale air that builds up in ur tent and run the filter to ur light cycle...... Humidifier also helps cool down a tent, as these produce a cool mist and drop temps by 2-3 degree's...... Run the humidifier to ur light cycle or a quick fix is a bowel of cold ice in front of a fan helps, it's a good cheap fix and would help with humidity!!! Aim ur clip on fan just below ur lights as this will push the hot air away from your girls that's ifu have not done that, open the bottom side vent and use a fan (outside of your tent) to blow cool air into your tent, I'm jus giving som idea's as I've suffered from high temps this summer and it's a right pain in the arse, and "Your Girl's With Suffer In High Temps" and slow down loads, trust me I know as I had that problem, if you don't correct it bro, and remember auto's only have so much of a time frame so the clock is ticking, so to speak lol. Hope this helps, I'm sure one of the pro's will com in and help, but do get them temps down as high heat massively slows down the growth. Hope the rest of ur grow goes OK bro!!! Will sub this peace ✌
 
The temps are 95-99 degrees during the day. I'm running them on 18-6 currently. I'll change my light cycle to be off during the day now since its been so miserably hot here. I have central air, but the room it's in is in the furthest corner of the house upstairs (therefore it's just muggy in there). I ran the intake to my tent over to the a/c vent hoping that will bring some fresh cool air. I'll go invest in a small oscillating fan today and try the ice trick. We've been having power outages as well! I'm sure my girls aren't liking it.... I'd hate to start from scratch again, but I'm not too fair into this grow.
 
Let's give this another go. New oscillating fan, some ice and changed my night time during the heat of the day. Should my oscillating fan be on at all times? I leave my exhaust fan on 24/7.

Yes meefchief, leave ur fans on 24/7 like hope2grow says, ur plants will b fine so don't start again either, keep I eye on Temps during day and hopefully these will change and start to drop, once you get ur condition right, your half way there bro, they will catch up, mine have been growing 2/3 inches a day after suffering from high temps..... Well done for making changes so quick fingers crossed bro......
 
If all else Fails u cud try takin 1 light out buddy.. even try an hour on 1 light and keep an eye on temps.. I had a 180 led and a 300 in my little tent and had to drop the 180 cuz I cudnt keep temps below 30.. ruined my last grow tbh :-( I've also added a 4" intake fan which seems to have done the trick.. fingers crossed!! 1 of those lights will do a gr8 job in your space id bet.. I think using 1 stead of 2 mite help a lot.. and if ambient temps drop u can stick the other light on.. far from ideal I know but just another thought :)

Definitely far from ideal. I may purchase a window a/c unit if it comes down to it.

Two updates today! Installed an a/c unit to control temps, and a humidifier as well. My rh was around 27, so it definitely needed to come way up. Hopefully this should help the girls along now.
