I don't want a 100 degree grow room either. I know that it grows better with lower temps in my grow room. And I know if I let my temps get over 80-85 my plants would suffer ( I run my room @78 with co2 fyi).it may get how outside, but there is still a shit ton of air moving around the plants outside. indoors high temps usually result from poor room design; ie poor venting, no air flow, high humidity, ect, and in no way mirror the environment of outdoors you are trying to create. indoors the point is to have an optimal environment with temps in control; who really wants a 100 degree grow room because it can happen outside. 2 entirely different ways of growing that have little to do with one another in technique and practice.
ps: weed doesnt grow in hydro naturally
as said above, I understand that no one would want temps that high indoors. Question is why can they take that heat outside.High heat promotes stretching indoors which can be very bad depending on grow area and style. It also is not within the optimum growth temps. One of the benefits of being indoors is the ability to control these factors in order to optimize growth. I have had plants hit 100 indoors before in a non ac grow. They did not produce as much as my cooler climate crops. In fact, I had a 2 level flower chamber with 600's. The top chamber always was 7-10 degrees higher than the bottom chamber. Because of that, the bottom always produced more weight, all other factors being identical.

As said in earlier post, plenty people use a chiller (I'm one of them) you would still not be able to run temps that high, so I'm not sure if that could be it.Plants can thrive like was said above becuase the rootzone outdoors does not get up that high:cake
as said above, even with chillers(keeping the roots nice and cool) I dont think they could take the heat.I have heard a few reasons.
rootzone temp
VPD vapor pressure deficit. Its a balance between heat and humidity
heres a link to a lengthy post on it

you cool for multiple reasons indoor.one is optimal temps r not what they r outside.wile u can get away with high temps indoors if u hav wind whipping via fans it will not grow as quickly tho.another is bugs.mites n mosts pests thrive n high heat/stagnant air/high humidity.an ac fixes eachA buddy of mine asked me why cooling was such a big deal in the grow room, his point was that outdoor plants do fine in the summer heat. I had no idea how to answer that, never thought about it.
nope.i wouldnt strive for it as a new grower tho but there r high temp techniques that u wud want these temps.and for longer then an hrWould a hour or so of 85-90 temp hurt your plant?
common myth....co2 doesnt mean run more heat.and i hit 1200ppm on co2 so feeding yur plants the same is not smartI would think because unlimited co2 outside which helps a plant in high heat. If you have co2 indoors and the temp is high you wont have a issue but the co2 has to be the same as the ppms your feeding your plants.
alot of crazy claims on here lately...ill take the pepsi challenge to this statement..i ripped this plant a wk ago n got lazy n didnt throw the roots away yet.this is a 18gal tote,only a 3wk veg then flip.Indoor plants usually don't face a lot of stress, and when they do, it's an isolated event. They had no need to put resources into developing a robust root system and move water through the plant faster.
