Learn what? Lower lights and heat I guess? The lights I def have control over but this god damned heat…I can’t grow inside due to reasons so I’m at the mercy of this Maryland weather. It’s so frustrating.
Well now don't get mad cause you did learn something about indoor growing at this time of year. I don't do it cause of that reason, only way i would try during heat of summer is autos and jugs of frozen water placed inside the tent. Crazy huh but i did that once and won't grow again this time of year indoors. I'm sorry but i would cut it down. Autos you could leave the tent flaps open an the door run 18/6 the whole time.
 
you don’t have central air conditioner?
ya if your heat is like that kinda makes impossible to get away with it to have a descent harvest,. generally anything over 85 and the plants basically slow right down and sit it out till more ideal temps,.
did we ever see a picture of your grow area?

You have away to control it. You might have to air condition the space. Not always the lessons we want to learn. Or you might only be able to grow during the winter in that space.

Wasn’t mad. Tough to convey tone through text. Thanks for your help

Yea I just don’t really have the money to spend on an air conditioner in that space. I don’t think I could do it in the winter without a heater.
Maryland is tough. Plant in April and the nights are too cold. Plant in May or June and the days are too hot.
 
your 8 weeks in,.,
good enough,.. harvest it and dry cure,.. do you know how to go about this?
can you control temp and humidity somewhere you can dry/hang the branches?
Sigh, no I really don’t have a good place to dry/cure. I know how to do it but it’s going to be in the same shed, so hot a humid as hell.

I’ve got central air in the house but I’m growing in a tent in my shed, and there’s no climate control in there. Can’t do it in the house unfortunately

I hate to say it man but if you cant get your temps in check, or even somewhere close in the shed, then growing is gonna be tough and drying/curing is gonna be pretty much futile..

I'd figure out a way to get some kinda budget climate control in there, figure a way to do it in the house or hang it up

Yep agreed 100% I have a huge AC running in my lung room or I’d be at 100 as well, hell I wasent even gunna flower till fall but… I’m hardheaded 🤣

IMO I’d suggest doing winter grows in the shed, 2 tents running opposite light schedules to keep the shed heated 24/7 using only your grow lights as heat, if you have insulated walls on the shed it should work, then try to grow your year supply at once

that’ll be a even bigger problem, goal is to aim for 60f / 60%RH during the dry I’ve done 70-72 and 60% RH but it gets scary sometimes

I get it. I live in Southern California it’s a 115 today with 20% rh.

I always thought America would be great for outside grows but I guess not!Ive seen some great outside grows over there but obviously not from Maryland!We get one shot at it in Scotland and then it’s up to the weather!Its usually fine but some years it destroys the whole lot!I have to do inside because it’s illegal here but it’s easy!I stay in a middle flat and nobody has a clue!Silent fans and a good extractor fan work wonders!I will send a pic with this!She’s an RS11 with about a week to go so she’s on the flush!Trichomes just starting to turn cloudy so won’t be long now!I do one female at a time!I could do two or scrog it but I work and don’t have the time for all that!She will get lst and that’s it,some pruning when in flower!Zoom in to see the bud!💪🏻💯🇬🇧
