will high temps slow down growth?

Plants certainly won't be as happy as possible in excess heats above even 80-85, I lived in LA and could never grow a plant because the heat fluxed too often and in the summer got too humid to flower and on better days the heat index average was 98 F.

yes..........

A humidity and temperature gauge are essential in any growroom. Daytime conditions should be 70-80 degrees without co2, 80-90 degrees with co2 until the last two weeks when daytime temps should be kept between 70-80 and co2 can be reduced to adjust for the lower metabolism. Night temperatures should be kept above 60 degrees to prevent stress. It is preferrable during flowering to have a night temperature drop of 10-20 degrees to stimulate flowering hormones and reduce stem elongation.

I find that low humidity causes stress on plants. I recommend 50-60% humidity until the final 2 weeks of flowering. At this point, the humidity should be lowered as much as possible to encourage the plant to seal and protect itself with additional resin. (I am able to get the humidity to go as low as 31%) I have been able to frost things up considerably this way. The higher humidity levels prior to final ripening reduce salt levels within the plant tissue and encourage healthy, more lush growth.

I also lived in a historic district with no AC or ventilation. My landlord would have been up shit creak had I ever blew the whistle on their shady operation, but you can't beat a 3 bedroom 2 bath historic house for 100$ a month. That was back before I took up growing I never knew the shit I make would have been 5 times potent as even the kindest bud (if they can really sleep with themselves at night calling Mexican brick KB) I ever ran across in LA, not LA city mind you LA state. Close to Shreveport AKA jigga city.

A fan in ur grow room is a must, as even on a hot day moving air is great for plants. Do ur 12/12 so ur lite is on at nite. And lastly a good vortex fan 4" pulling air out of the grow. LOL

gets hot as hell over here too 92-95 both night and day.....but weed is just a weed ...yes its not ideal but it will work ...its grows everywhere in both hot and cold climate...on mountains/hills/forest/island/ect..... im not going to try and kill myself just to get the temps down or even spend $100 or even 100's of dollars on energy consuming products thats would just add on to my bill.....recession hurts when they cut your hours ......i will tho give that ice chest with ice and fan a try out since i got already to give it a try but guess to eachs own......saw a posting on here before that i can/will vouch for.....i need proof that shows 90+ kills rather then someone telling me
