At what temp for out door grows do people freak out? i've never really asked anyone else this

It gets warm in my little corner of hell

All depends on the stage the plant is in. It was a late start for me outside and didn’t get anyone out until June 2nd because temps barely reach early teens Celsius wise and real cool nights. They were a couple weeks old but not good enough to withstand that temp. We are hot and hazy lately and mid stage of veg are lovely it (especially after a watering and some seaweed extract. Just once a week) Had this HHH weather in mid flowering mode and that did worry me a lot. I did lose some buds weekly to mold and plucked them right away. So a slightly cooler weather pattern would have been better and hopefully a dry fall finish as well.

i use to let heat get to me, however i've kinda learned how to deal with it, if ground gets around 140f idk what that is in non-freedom units, i flood the walk way with about a half inch of water, those nights i will check the plant with a black light i made myself, if you notice things as they start its way easier to manage

Heat is potentially much more damaging, in container gardening vs in the ground. Containers can get extremely hot, even at more mild temps. Say the low 80s. Pts in direct sun, for hours at a time could benefit from shielding the container for the sun, but keeping the plannt exposed.
In the desert, it would be best to use a canopy/tarp ect to shield them in the hottest part of the day.

I 2nd the shade the container from the sun as Hendrix said. Could definitely cook the soil and root zone. Unless you had a very large container like north of 30 gallons.

get some white pollythene and wrap it around the pots, as long as you don't mind them being seen, highly visable, but if its legal where you live, go for it. just a thaught, you can also covour the top of the plant pot with it too

I've been battling 97 degrees F where I am at, and Humidity of 45%, the plants seem to love it. So far no issues that I can see. They are Autos and are all in day 44. 3 are in pre-flower and one is still vegging. I'm in 10G fabric pots of LOS. I have two different cultivars going, 2 each of Slurricane and WURLZ F1 all Zamnesia seeds. They busted soil all onthe same day. The Slurricane's were 60 - 65 days according to the packs and the WURLZ were 70 - 75 days seed to harvest. Good thing is they are smaller plants.
I need to wrap the pots as some noted above as they are black, but when I feed and or provide water, it is always around 62 to 67 degrees to assist in cooling the roots. But so far they are showing e nothing but happiness! This 90 degree plus is supposed to continue here for the next week as well.
From left to right: WURLZ F1-A, Slurricane 1, Wurlz F1-B, and Slurricane 2. WURLZ F1A looks totally different than WURLZ F1B and the Slurricanes look identical in structure just the last one stayed small even as a seedling, but I gave her life! As a mtter of fact my WURLZ F1B looks more like Slurricane than the other sibling. Yet, I know what was seeded and didn't accidentally grow a 3rd Slurricane. Stay cool all!

This is my first time trying to grow in the hot Mohave desert summer and I'm low experience anyway, it's a challenge but I'm trying to be innovative. I have one in a bucket and another in a bag. I've been trying as best I can to keep a small portable mister on them and then yesterday I came up with an idea I call "ice therapy". I froze a couple water filled Gatorade bottles, put funnels into the soil and put the bottles in to let them melt. It's impossible to know yet if this is helpful but with temps well into the 100's in this dry climate it might be.

I'd ordered a standing patio mister which should arrive tomorrow. I have an irrigation line all set up to tap into and picked up a couple water filters at Walmart today. This will certainly be a better misting option.

I'm still trying to figure a way to shield them from the wind that occasional blows through like a blast furnace.

This makes the indoor stuff look like a cakewalk!

i will show you what i do in the morning, but i use screen for windows wrapped around wood, if the gusts get too strong i use wheat i also grow to blow the harsh bursts, if the wheat dies its no big deal because its cheap as f to grow, also side note, mites like wheat however often go to it long before weed, keep it in mind

the ground where she sits at has been 120-135 constantly for a week, looks like shes gunna be a nice little plant
