fucking hot,,I had my face 2 feet from the plastic hoop wall yesterday(forehead felt 120 degrees to me)I was screwing in the 3/4" pvc runners and...it burnt me on out.
All the plants got a good water down

One grower gave me an idea..he surrounds the pots with bales of straw to keep the sun off of em

See if you can cover them with some shade or sack during the worst of the heat (10am-2pm?)

once temps get too hi they fall dormant, delaying harvest

damp sacks around the drip line is an ozzie favorite as is growing inside at night ..lol

best time to water is only once per day, and at 4.30 pm, after a great recent heated discussion

good luck

Silica, yucca extract, kelp extract, fulvic acid as instructed. these help the plants deal with heat stress and you can shade the pots and mulch em.

Good ideas...i got them
In the shade... The ones in ground seem to be handling it fine.

108 ain't shit for the plant in vegg . It's probably growing six inches a day . Carry on.
Plastic pots is another story.

I agree, my plants are loving this heat. Just make sure they have plenty of water, and a thick layer of mulch on top of your soil......that's it. No shade cloth needed, no bales of straw around the pots (which may help, but not needed). Here's last years Mad Purps in the heat.

great stuff plants love it and when used in soil it lets the water penetrate better eliminating dry areas and surface pooling.

My gh today @ 2:30 pm and Full Moon (as shown) is reaching for the light; leaves up.

For reference: The Full Moon is around 24-26" from pot to top

depends on the strain. I have a BOG Life saver that hates the heat it wilts late afternoon and when it's watered the leaves curl down like it is sighing then overnight it perks up never saw one do that. The green crack shows a little heat stress nothing serious gorilla glue loves it as does skunk #1.

Gentleman allow me to walk you through a street in Kuala Lumpur and you shall complain no more about your summers. Apparently you can melt down in a sunny day
