I would set up a cheap misting system . The kind that goes under a pation umbrella. Or one of those fan and barrel turbo misters. They drop the temperature really well.
So how would you do it normaly in the desert? Do you hang those shade cloths over the plants to cut down on the sun?Lol, F them devils, i love coach Herm tho! No man, I left for big bear for 4 days and when I came back the bottom 1/3 of the plant dropped all the leaves. The heat wave ended on the day I got back and it seems to be ok now, I just don’t know if there are enough leaves on the top to get the buds to fatten up. And actually some of the tips of the pistils turned brown like they burned. I made a rookie mistake thinking it was low N and added to much on the next feed so it’s a little pissed off right now. I flushed with good water and it seems fine but I think the buds are going to be stunted. I learned a lot tho so I’m not pissed, just a little bummed. My brother has a friend who grows on the reservation out by Palm Springs and I reached out to him about what strains survive in the heat. It gets in the 120’s out there. He said he doesn’t grow auto’s but he lost 20 plants that were in 3 and 5 gal pots that same weekend (it hit 124 at his place). He told me all his photos are thriving in his beds and 45 gal sacks. He said it’s all about keeping the roots cool and your good to go. He’s a pro and looking at his insta page he’s got trade secrets that he’s not telling me tho, lol! I orders a few photo seeds and I’m going to try to get them in the ground while monsoon season is starting and hopefully they get established before it heats up again. It took me a couple years to brew good beer so I’m being patient with my new hobby. Cheers man, how’s your grow going?
You’re using Big Bud why? That plant is nowhere near time for that. Read the instructions on the bottle.It’s 108 with 8% humidity right now and leaves are pointing to the sky asking for more. I added big bud 2 feeds ago and she’s growing like a…well you know. I’ll post one more time when we hit 117 to see how things are going but I’m guessing it’ll be fine under the 40% shade.. We just legalized in Phoenix so hopefully people are growing and learning under this giant Mfer LED in the sky.
