Heat tolerance of White Widow?

I'm 5 weeks into veg of my first grow, some bagseed under 8x 26W CFLs. The biggest problem I have is heat buildup in my enclosure; temps are usually just over 85F. However what I have growing is showing no signs of heat stress. Since this grow is going really well, I'd like to buy some feminized white widow seeds, but have some concerns about it's ability to withstand those temperatures. If I am vigilant about watering and humidity, will I be okay, or should I seek a more temperature-resistant strain? Thanks.

Some strains like 80-degree weather. Some do not. I strongly recommend watching your watering. I had a grow, that temps stayed above 80 at any given time, and i found myself watering a whole lot more often. I would seek ways of venting the heat, that the lights are creating. I myself am running 312watts of CFLs (x12 26watts) and boy, oh boy, if i didn't have a vent for the heat, the temps would be nuts.. Not to mention, my grow is inside an old fridge. It holds temps very very well. Good luck dude!

*EDIT* Woops, forgot to mention, i am running two, of your strains cousin, or sister.. or whatever.. Two White Rhinos, a Blue Mistic, and a Green Poison. All under that 312w looking great, just switched them to flower few days ago, after a little over 6 weeks veg.

Thanks for the reply, but I think you might be confused; I'm not growing white widow yet, I'm looking to see if it's a viable strain to grow under fairly hot conditions.
My grow of bagseed is in a wooden cabinet I built and temperatures easily rich 100 if I don't have any fans running! I do find myself watering very frequently, the top 2" of soil drying in just a couple of days (and I have a 3 gallon pot).

I am growing two white widows reg. seed in 12th week of flowering with 85-90 degs. under 600watt hps! The tricome production has slowed down because of the heat and the smell is not very strong. I intend to harvest any day now.the buds are huge yet minimal frost( tricomes)

Hey dude how did they turn out? Poor trices but large buds..what about potency. I am a first time grower in a tropical climate

Widow can take the heat pretty good ime
