Hottest day of the year and heat problems.

[Akabudz]

Hi all, here in UK we hit hottest day if the year, outdoor temps hitting 33 Celsius, top 9f my canopy 8s 32.5 really not good.
It's a 2x2 tent 2 plants, white widow, just over 10 weeks of 12 12, dwc, I have been putting ice packs ( the plastic type) in the intake vent of tent, bringing temps down to 29 Celsius, however I can not freeze these quick enough now, in 3 days or so i will run water only for 7 days,
I really do not want these temps to hurt my yield, i have no ac, etc, just drawing air from outside.
Any suggestions? Thanks

The faster you can exchange air the better. Good to have air from outside coming in, just move it in and out as quickly as possible so there's an abundance of fresh air moving thru and it will help some. I grow in the SW USA and can pull it off in 105*F heat but could'nt do it without a fresh air breeze washing over the plants 24/7 and keeping them well watered. Being DWC the water part should'nt be an issue for you.
Best of luck!✌
