Extremely Hot Temps...

The temperature in my grow cab has been around 98 F, yes that hot :fire: but I've really seen no heat problems with any of my plants. One fan is directly blowing on all of the plants and thats it. My question is since they are all about to start flowering would the chance of severe heat stress be much greater during flowering than veg? I just can't get the damn temps down :evil: I'm using 8 23w cfl's in a very tight space.

certain strains can handle high temps

what strain are you working with?
Well my friend bought these seeds originally and he ordered lowryder, but these plants won't autoflower so I'm assuming these are just a dwarf mix. Seems almost pure indica, couldn't tell you the strain name.

I have 6 plants in my grow, max temp is around 97 but they look extremely green and healthy:-) Bagseed too.

Is it possible to get another fan in there at least? Just somethin to help move that really hot air at the top of the canopy around?

You can get some really good compact sized ones that osciallate at walmart for less than 10 bucks. I use a couple of them and it does me right.

U need to get an exhaust to get all heat out , a fan blowing on ur plants will only do wind ( hot wind that is )

So am I right in thinking that if a plant is heat stressed it will show you? Or can real heat stress take part and you not notice a difference on the leaves...
