Well its official, they will live after a sudden rise in temps to 110 degrees F.
Its been so hot the last few days that I've had to run the AC in the grow room and recirculate the air. Unfortunately that AC is on the same circuit as the dishwasher. The wife has taken to loading the dishwasher and setting it to run four hours later instead of right away for some unknown reason.
So last night when she did it, we all went to bed. Me not knowing it would be starting up at about 3:00AM. So I go into the grow room this morning, as soon as I open the door to the building it is in I notice silence, and the smell of weed. My first thought was, hmm... the carbon filter is off. Then I opened the door and the heat rushed out. I look over and the thermometer says 110. I think, oh they're dead. Shut off the lights for the prescribed 12 hours and, changed the ducting valves back over to suck in air from outside and exhaust it outside, reset the breaker to get some air moving through. Couldn't turn on the AC because resetting the breaker also starts the dishwasher back up.
So tonight I go down to turn on the lights, and low and behold - the plants are all alive and suffered no apparent harm. Had to be enduring at least 5 hours of 110 degree heat. Its insulated very well, so none would have escaped. So thats good.
