How on earth are we supposed to keep our plants in about 75 degrees during daytime when it's already nearly 90 degrees in the apartment? Air conditioning would be an option unless it would be banned where I live.

You can't have AC?. Well, without it your plants are cooked (pun intended). Lesson learned, never grow in the summer unless you have AC. Peace

I don't grow THAT hot, but my temps aren't perfect. Root temp is more important than plant temp. Water your soil with cool water. If you are doing a hydro grow, keep the solution between 68 and 72 degrees......all sorts of diys are available for this, or you can for out the bucks for an aquarium chiller.

Last year I had some heat issues during the summer months. It caused some minor issues during my grow like my plant throwing out some nanners towards the end of flowering. Anyways I have found that running my lights at night has fixed any issues that I ran into last year. You might try that and see if it works for you.

I didn't think to mention that, but I started running my lights at night after my first grow. It does help with late afternoon heat A LOT.
