Suitable for Higher Temperature Grow?

Anyone have information on specific strains that would be good for growing at about 85 F in a tent? I understand that 85 is borderline high temperature.

Check out mandala seeds they breed a bunch of strains that they say are very heat resistant.

I've hit 85 with no problems.

You need to worry when you get around 90 or so from my experience. The higher the temperature the more water they will need.

I agree with TY 85 during the summer was fine but when it hit over 100 was when things went to shit. Also along with needing to water more you need to pay close attention to your humidity as it will rise as the temperature and moisture rises. You can do it but you really need to pay attention to everything going on.

Yeah 100 is where many strains seem to go to hell. I had a couple that didn't mind but quality was definitely affected.

Thanks, that is good to know. I feel better now since I rarely reach 90.

Thanks Couchlock, I will keep your advice in mind as spring and summer arrive.
