106f today! Plants aren't diggin it. Givin them a little extra h20 throughout the day to try and keep their roots as cool as possible. Just part of the deal as this is nothing new. Guess I should be glad it's not 113f.

That is some serious temps,"41-42c" i have never experienced such temps in Ireland and doubt i ever will..."climate change or not"

Just back from Crete a few weeks ago the temps were similar over there at peak times 41-42c, for the period of time i spent there i must of lost a stone in sweat, i found it difficult getting stoned as my brain constantly felt microwaved. Anything i drunk just seeped out of my pours, its quite damp here as we speak with low temps as usual, so i do envy you.....

Am inclined to agree with you on temps. No ac here. Plants in the PPK are doing fine, lost a couple that I had in the hugo blocks.

If you can try watering earlier in the day as possible if you haven't already making sure they can pull a lot of moisture early will help keep the stomata open longer and transpiration going and help lessen some heat damage. Then obviously to keep the roots cool during the day help, maybe even a small amount during the evening (midnight or so) and not enough to drain through in the evening but that depends how root bound and how much they dry out if it is already wet then no point.

Was gearing up to meet the challenges of growing in 124F temps in Southern Nevada. I ended up moving and am glad for it. Wow, it gets hot there. I wish all of you in hot areas the best.

Yeah, its going to be in the 100s again in Oregon this coming week. Also we are choking on smoke here coming down from Canada and up from California's raging wild fires. Record breaking heat here, after record breaking ice storms last winter. It could be worse though, we could be in Texas!

But there is no global warming! No no no! Trump said so! Never mind the raft of evidence from the scientific community that says otherwise, and the fact that GW predicts wild swings in weather as well as insane weather events like Harvey, not just overall higher average temperatures.

My plants here take 105F heat no problem though. They are acclimated to the heat this summer.

We were at a 100+ for about 2 weeks.

My plants are in dark-colored pots which doesn't help.

I give them about 3 gallons of compost tea in the morning, then 2 1/2 gallons around noon, then again every few hours.

I like watering them from buckets, so you can hear the water bubbling around the sides.

Besides getting water everywhere to help cool down the roots, I think it might also pull air (and oxygen) down into the root ball when you do it that way.

Anyway, the plants are loving it.

In heat like that, the person carrying the water buckets (delivering the THC) can end up needing some TLC. Feel like I'm living on the desert planet Tatooine. (Star Wars reference

Its gonna be 100's all weekend in my parts. Im watering every other day. but recently i water the second day as well. so daily, just a top water/quick drink. then next day i saturate them good

Hot $!!
Makes big buds later
Keep hydrated

Always go white or terra cotta pots. The clay pots wick moisture and cool through evaporation. White pots cut down on the overall infra-red from the sun.

When the soil gets hot enough, you start getting a root BBQ going on in there. Ouch!
