It got up to 108 in my backyard. I have 2 plants still outside. 1 was a week and a half away from harvest and the other 3 or 4 weeks. Both are in 25 gallon smart pots and they did ok. Gave them 2 gallons of water in the morning and another in the afternoon. During the hottest part of the day they were looking sad and droopy but other than that and some fan leaves yellowing and falling off faster than normal no major damage.
This weather has been so wild for sunny Socal. We get the hottest heat wave ever and then the past few days...Thunderstorms and rain? WTF... This doesnt happen around here. But I took some of the coolest bud pictures ive ever shot before yesterday. The sunset was amazing, heres a few of my shots:

Word. I had 4 3 1/2 week old plants outside in direct sun. I just watered the soil and they looked fine.

That's the adequate temp. They can handle higher/lower temps, but you wouldn't want to keep them in it for an extended period of time.
You wouldn't die sitting in 105 degree weather. But would you want to sit in if for a week straight?

I lost 4 because they had a mild root problem that was not known with cooler temps.
As soon as we hit 107 for WEEKS the sick ones began to wilt, naturally you give water and they wilt.
My roots were not able to take in the extra water it needed because pot bound.
Also, smart pots get HOT! I covered with hay.

Now the roots getting too hot will kill your plants in hours, if you grow in pots outdoors you need to protect the root system from the heat of the sun.....JR
and how about some rep for stomping out another myth.............lol

the plants in the middle east were not trees like today. Mine required 19 gallons of water a day. The ones that had less formed root masses died slowley from lack of water (Even though they were swimming)
Plants do shut down into a protection mode when it gets very hot.
It tolerates a dry condition but it can not thrive in it (Assuming you want a tree not a plant)
Also it cant tolerate wetlands.
An 80% water to soil saturation *Capacity*
Growth peak is about 14.5c for outside.
Im told not much growing happens over 96F but someone might know (Outside plants)

Man those plants i bet get Huge . you gota give it nice cold water , keep the roots cool and wet .
You take care of the roots and the buds will repay ou back.
you might need a bigger pot , small pots can absorb heat ,.
best thing would be to have a massive hole in the round where it can be insulate with grass or somethin moist.
