New Grower Growing in hot hot summer?

[MyHighness]

Summer came in Northern hemisphere and where I live is a hot region. I harvested my last girl few days ago and my grow box is empty now! Outside temps will be around 28-35 from now on. And my grow box is in a place where there is no A/C. For the last 6 months I got used to growing very much that empty grow box breaks my heart. Since I am new to growing I haven't had a summer grow before. Is it possible in such weather or will it be a waste of seeds and efforts? What do you guys do in summer who live in hot regions like me?

You got no way of an outdoor grow?

Are you talking about an outside grow?

 

[MyHighness]

No, outside grow is not possible unfortunatley... I was talking. About indoor growing

I live in a hot place like you. Heat definitely keeps things much more complicated, but all in all I think it's worth the extra care involved to manage temps. There are so many factors to consider; I have a fairly inexpensive set up and not much equipment so that helps a bit. I schedule my lights to flip off during the hottest hours of the day & run my hps only at night, then cfls after sunrise till it's time for lights out. I have one fan bringing in outside air, and another over the grow. So far this has worked the past two summers for me. a small stand alone AC unit could be something worth looking into. I hope you figure something out!

you can still grow. Keep plenty of air moving over your plants with a good fan. You could get a misting fan like used in greenhouses also, but I expect they may be a bit pricey. Keep them well watered and you should be fine.

Air flow is the key. I grew for 3 or 4 years in a room that had no AC and grew all year even in the heat using an 8 bulb T5. I do wish during that time I could have got an LED though cuz it would have ran a little cooler.
