Growing in Extremely HOT Weather - Pros, Cons and Cares

Hello Guys,

So I just Sign up to the forum, It will be my first grow and I plan doing it Indoor with some White Widow feminized seeds. I have some doubts since my city weather conditions are aways like this:

Temperature AWAYS around: 25°C - 30°C / 77°F - 86°F and VERY SUNNY (It's a city in the coast of northeast Brazil, right under the tropics)
Sun rise: 5:30 am Sunset: 6:00pm
Humidity aways around 60% - 85%

Should I worry about this weather or I need some special set up (humidity reduce control?) to do it?

I plan to start with the basic 500ml Cups and then do some clonning. I've done a great research but I can't find the exactly right fertilizers you guys use so I will have to use a nice worm mix soil that we use here for common plants, is it ok?

Any tips are welcome, as soon as I start I post the pictures of the set up (Suggestions please)

Cheers!

Jack

air conditioning and exchange are your friends. i'm in the tropics and you should be fine. you didn't say what kind of lighting you're using. i go bare using 600s.
try a strain that's hardy, i would highly recommend KC x Brasil (how about that for a coincidence) great high and EASY to grow, takes all kinds of stress and abuse and has a really nice yield. never grown WW.
your fert/soil sounds fine, there's a great DIY section as well as an organics section with a lot of information here. i use miracle grow violet and tomato food, works fine if you know to use it lightly.
good luck :eyesmoke:

You have similar weather conditions as me and i've never ran a aircon but i just run fans flat out and when simmer cos and we get temps of 40c i just accept that i'm gonna loose some productivity during that time. Sometimes if i know the day is gonna be a hot one i only run 1 light to reduce the heat and keep the going a little bit.

I grew white widow a few years ago and due to the high temps, high humidity and the fact that white widow grow huge dense buds, i got some bud rot towards the end of flowering.
 

Nice one, thank you for the tips! Where can I find KC x Brasil? For being honest I just have ONE FEMINIZED seed and this will have to work, I plan to buy more seeds of course but this will do for my first set-up.

About the lights, what do you think abou LED Lights? There are some here, they are better because they are "cold" I guess? There are some 600 lumens 6000k ones here.. or should I get common fluorescents?



Thanks man, nice to have someone from around! What else do you recommend for hot weather? How about the humidity? Cheers!
