I'm guessing this is an autoflower. If so they are not affected by photoperiod so it should be ok

Past few days with it being extremely hot i have been leaving the door to my grow closet open when the lights on, with a 400hps light i'm able to keep it within 5 degrees of the inside temps. Smells a little but the carbon filter seems to get most of it.

I’m catching hell with the heat... intensifying problems that under normal conditions wouldn’t be a problem... Sativa's seem to do better.. but it’s rough...from here til the end of August everything will remain in veg..I don’t even think leds would help..I’m in the garage 7 pm - 7 am... CHM is simply warmer than I thought...said all that to say... hell I needed some smoke.. if these genetics hold up they will be keepers... I’ve cloned them!!! I wanted to know what could take the heat...

My fault.. not autos.. regulars.. but still catching hell at times..the ones I noticed can handle things.. even when I know I’ve overdone it.. I clone them for 2 reasons.. it shows it can handle certain things... and just Incase it doesn’t make it...then we proceed with the clone...

How can you be 2 weeks from chop if you are on an 18/6 light schedule If it's not an auto?

HID in general just adds more heat, even cmh. I have cmh, blurples and cobs. I tried something today in one tent, I have 3- three cob rails each running at 200 watts. I shut one off and turned on a cmh dimmed to 50%, so that's roughly 157 watts of cmh replacing one of the 200 watt cob rails and my temps increased by 5 degrees. I like cmh for winter but they add too much heat during summer, led is the way to go during summer.
