Hi i need help.
The outdoors temp has gone up silly to 26. Meanig my grow in the 7th week has had uncomfortable temps. The smell has faded but stinks if you rub buds. Look at the pics. No damage and buds seem fine. Can this recover for harvest?

btw, what type of light and wattage are you using and what's the distance to the plants?

Been 29c here in uk today, my tent seen 35c. Smell faded, but watered and seems to be coming back...

I'm so glad I added GHE ripen and I'm chopping these in 7 days. Looks like I'll be curing the shit outta these to get any smell back, as for taste, I'll use some flushy flushy aka Final Phase and hope for the best!!!

Roll on August!!

if possible move you light further away from your plants, reduce your feeds, increase dilution so more water. If possible add CO2. Learn about VPD and how this affects your plants. Learn how CO2 can help you grow at higher overall room temps. If possible invest in equipment to produce a stable environment that isnt dependent on outside temps
Good luck

good man, if you can lift your light a bit too. this will help reduce UV canopy heat which wont show on a room temp gauge since UV energy passes through air and only transfers on to solid objects, eg your plants leaves et al. One thing about UV tho, it helps to increase trichome coverage, but you may get a drop in taste quality and more airy buds if you cant drop your night temps to average the plant temp to about 25c

Ive got other seedlings almost ready so im going to get a small fridge, very cheap to run and use it with some heat sensors as an aircon unit.

The buds are covered in healthy trichomes, absolutely covered.

Hi mate, a small fridge will be nowhere near the duty required to do any cooling in a growroom situation at those temps.

With a 600w light you would want 2.5kw split as a start point, me personally, I would run a 3.5 kw inverter unit.
