Severe heat stress! ahh! Help!

Hey! New here

Well, we now have an AC but before were not expecting that hot of weather.
Too bad we had 2-3 days of 100+ degree weather!
We have four plants and only one was not affected by this.

We were a week or two away from harvesting, so I'm wondering if we should clip the buds to prevent anymore drying out? They are 6 weeks into flowering.

We had cut nutrients almost a week ago to prepare, and we leached them last night incase we need to early harvest, which we're thinking we may need to do unless you guys have some amazing advice.

The leaves are so dry and if you touch them they will break, the buds on almost all of the plants besides one or two are also pretty dry. Not falling apart though.


Random info:
600 watt light, HPS.
(not too close tho)

Good news is that your nugs look nice and frosty.

How hot did it get in your grow room, and how many more hot days can you expect?

We're not sure exactly how hot they got IN the garage, outside it was 103 F.
The buds are a little dry though? But yes, otherwise look good.
Well, several more hot days, but we do have an AC running in there now.

We just don't know if we should harvest or if there is any recovery?

This was them about a week or two ago...
when they were healthy

Just to clarify, it was 103 degrees outside, and these were in a sealed garage under a 600w HPS without any cooling?

You are far enough along that even if the heat stress caused hermies it probably wouldn't produce seeds. i would cut away all the burned fan leaves and let it continue growing. That is assuming you have the heat issue under control.

I highly recommend a thermometer. You can get a digital thermometer/hydrometer for less than $10, and that's critical information to know.
