Ok so 7 weeks in and I had to move the girls to another location because of some shit anyways. I used to be able to kepp between 70 and 76F now though its around 86F I'm using cfl's There is a fan an exaust hole but no exuast fan. My question is I cant really do shit about the heat because its not my place. So how will this affect growth or potencey? This pistals are about 10 to 15% red so its not to far off thinking 1 to 3 weeks depending. So am I screwed or what. Can I just water more often to combat the heat or what? Thanks for the info:bigjoint:

You have no way to vent?
there is a hole a small one like 3 inches wide in the ceiling its in a closet 3x2. I have a fan about 2 feet below hole on top of board that holds the lights so cant reall move it closer it faces down to create a circulation off the walls across the plants

86f is wat? 28 - 29.c ? thats borderline if u can get a fan in there u will prob be ok,, some peeps say that high temps at end produces higher thc as thc is the plants protection against heat and intense light,,,,, nows a gd time to test that theory :)

My plants are under CFL's as well. My temps range from 78-88, so long as the leaves are not burning the plant should be good.

If you water extra it may absorb it from being in a hotter environment, or if it sits in the soil it will raise the humidity of your space. It's all a balance. I have heard that they produce more resin in the end in a warmer area, but have not had experience myself, only on 3rd week flowering here.

Good luck!!

That would be a nice affect if it works. I did get a little burn on the leaves I had a miss match plug when I reset up everything. I was rushed and didnt plug into the timer and had like 36hrs of light I was like FUCK got it plugged in right let it sit in dark for 20 hrs then back to 12/12 I had to clipp some leaves that were dried out and left some that had spots but not completely burnt. I hate fucking curve balls but its my first and now know what not to do. This is the only problem besides flys and a lil nute burn but otherwise no real threat to the plant life just maybe the yeild and potency. Maybe i will get lucky and the heat will do more good than bad. Thanks for the info folks
