My thoughts exactly. Though she did say interior, you better have the hands of a surgeon.
I have yet to water today, slept in and missed my usual watering window. I will see how they like a mid day watering.

The key is to keep misting. Or, if you're afraid that will clog, just use a sprinkler that oscillate back and forth. Put it on a timer to run for 1 minute of every five. The idea is to keep humidity levels high.

Retractable shade cloth that you can employ only between noon and 4pm or so.

I don't think a Lil mist would hurt.. But don't listen 2 me I'd test a small plant & see how she responds 2 mist then wet then full on soaked.. In veg I think u will b good.. With 101-110 I think it would dry fast

What I'm suggesting can't possibly hurt.

its breezy and only 106 so far today and i Just came in from misting them all with a spray nozzle on the hose :)
The mist dried fast so I went back through and gave them more. and wet the ground everywhere in the garden and the top of the beds again.
it even cooled me down doing all that :)

Thanks for the excellent tip Tystick! :D

I have found that water left on leaves in extreme temps in direct sun can scald them. The droplets act like a magnifying glass. Air movement and fans will reduce that though.

In my GH I would only lightly mist them in the morning and evenings..... and never soak em' heavy. If you do it just right it won't take long before the the leaves perk right up and get that happy look ("The MJ Erection")

Yeah man. thats why I asked..I was worried the water would magnify the sun. I didnt want to scald them...but I went for it..couple hours later now..i just got home and they all look great :)
most of them had an "MJ Erection" ("Happy") before I sprayed...and still are :)
so I sprayed em again (all shaded by big oak trees now)630pm

Just trimmed a buddy's Blue Dream and the sonzabieeches had hard sticky dense buds the size of golfballs....AND they were a breeze to trim. I told him to put some of the suckers outdoors and let them fly.

Keep us posted on how your BD does and good luck!
