Well, im not too worried about the water, i really think its gonna evaporate in about 3 days, its literally a sauna up there. After less than 10 minutes of watering my ladies today and taking the pics i was dripping sweat and my whole shirt was drenched. In fact, my main concern was that it WOULD evaporate too fast, but i guess i should hope it does now. Anyways thanks for the help, but theres not much i can do, just hope they weather the storm(or in this case HEAT) an if i get the chance sneak up there and take a peek, will update ASAP:-)

Also, ive heard of ppl going to 12/12 for about 1-2 weeks untill they show sex to see which ones to keep then they go back to veg. Is this healthy or stressfull? How old do they have to be to do this?

12 days... Thats kind of pushing it if you ask me. A friend went 2 weeks and they were in bad shape, but came back... I really dont think thats good, do you think you can get in there at least once?

Dont risk it, but if you can get in there at least half way through that it woudl be great. Even if you cant do anything but water them, I would.. They are in small containers and are gonna need it for sure.

Well actually i sneaked in there saturday and repoted plant A into a bigger cup, one of the 8oz ones but it didnt go the way i planned and she suffered some stress so i didnt do it with the rest of them. When i was transplanting plant A i found that it wasnt rootbound at all and that the jiffi cups were holding a lot of moisture so i hope that helps, either way im gonna try to sneak up there maybe later on this week or next weekend. Also without being able to replace the frozen water bottles the max temp is about 98 but the plants look VERY healthy with new leaves popping out everywhere.

Yup i would love to but you know... As soon as i can though ill take some an put them up, i plan on getting 2 small, say 5in fans about $5, that i saw at walmart and putting them on the the corners of the bottom so that it pushes some of the bottom air up(if its possible use those as intake i will replace some of the weaker or louder fans) and makes it circulate more, plus when the ladies dont need to be lifted to the lights the fans will be blowing on them making them strong, hopefully.

Hey guys i just though of somthing while looking at my avatar(was taken friday): Do you think my ladies are doing so well because of the high humidity??? Kinda seems logical, FL=Lots of humidity, plants under heat stress=dry leaves(i think), but with all the humitity maybe the plants dont really feel it you know.... if so this could be a breakthrough for ppl struggling with heat:-)
