blind leading the blind around here. the soil is dry, the plants are wilted. WATER THEM and they'll be back to normal in under a half hour. unless you don't, and they get worse, then those leaves will die.

Right. However, you seemed to have missed the part about 95f degree temps and him asking how that could be remedied.

im in a loft and iv set up wooden stocks so to speak. wrapped the reflective tape round it so it is almost like a room with king span at the top. i have an extractor sucking air in from outside
Sorry, I still do not have a good picture of your room. So you have air getting sucked in. What is the temp of that air. Do you have anything exhausting warm air out of the room? Is the room warm because of your light? You need to exhaust out that rising warm air.

WOW...Some members are telling me I copy and paste this too much...but in this case...

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. And remember anyone may have a well-known member status…but that means they have posted and responded to many threads and does not always mean well-educated growerz. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

Soaking up all that information and sifting through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

There is a shit load of info you are leaving out...medium, nutes, light source, ph balances, ventilation etc etc. I mean you said in an earlier post you were using nutes A and B...but you never said what A and B are! You need to have better pics...turn off the HPS...makes it near impossible to see any issues. Take pictures of your entire setup from a couple of angles...show us what ya got. Do these things and better responses you will get.

with your temps that high and your humidity that low with plants that size it is possible that they C A N drink that fast. Especially with evaporation in play to. Lifting your pot/bucket or what ever you are growing in will let you know. heavy=wet and light=dry.

nope, didn't miss it. as a matter of fact, i saw everyone pitching in saying overwater/too high temps. both are wrong. it gets to 110f here in the summer, outdoor plants do fine in that heat. AS LONG AS THEY HAVE WATER. the reason they wilted is because they got dry. if watered once seen, they'd have perked back up. if he didn't water, and the heat got that high today, his plants are quick-dried and dead. probably not smokeable, but that's how it goes sometimes...

remedying the heat will be a bitch in the attic, and won't be accomplished without an ac. but however, to fix the wilt, a watering would have sufficed.

i hope he watered them... :(

or one could notice a drought wilt, and say, ''water it''. not everyone is that experienced though...

There's way more oxygen outside. To be able to compare outdoor to indoor temp wise wouldn't the indoor need to be co2 enriched so it would be able to handle those higher temps? water is fine but at some point the plant will start losing water faster then it can drink it.when it reaches that point wouldn't adding water not really be a solution to the underlining problem?

Like hydraulic lock, stops loss of water by evap, go's all floppy and can die,can cause the cell walls to collapse turgor problem's etc, its not what you want, lightly spray or mist helps cool the leaf so it might re-star transpiring again (if done in time)....but doubtful.

Is a "loft" an attic? Not where I come from. 95 degrees IS certainly not optimal and clearly is something to try and remedy.
Just thought the watering was the no-brainer, short-term part.

Except yourey leaving something out. It does get over a hundred there but the roots are in the ground at 65 degrees.

Indoor unless you chill or wrap the pots you can cook them real easy.

Indoor will not handle the extremes outdoors does. It just won't.

As others have eluded to, you need to get your ventilation in check. Are you venting the heat out anywhere? Pulling in outside air usually isn't a great idea. Hope you have a screen on that. Your plant can bounce back no problem, but good luck keeping it happy the rest of the way at those temps. Any option to move it to a basement?
