What temperature can plants handle up to

Hey guys I'm from one of the hottest parts of Australia it gets over 50 degrees celcius here some days in summer (122 Fahrenheit) I'm wondering if weed could handle those sorts of tempretures outdoors or would it stress the plants to much, and if 50 is too much what can I do to compensate like put them in shade or something. Thanks in advance

indica's max out at 33c with sativa's falling dormant above 38C imo:

but you can seriously cheat that by breeding ur own seeds that are environmentally /latitude stable

above these temps they just fall dormant and can screw you on harvest date

some aussie growers have a shade that fits above the plant from 10-1400hrs?

on old sack will do ...lol

good luck

They will absolutely grow. Just keep them watered.

I have heard of many aussie growers growing at night

much as the euros are doing now, in their winter

indoors under lights, with the plants sleeping during those hot hours

good luck

I live in a climate almost identical to yours and run my indoor lights at night during the summer. Outdoors I've had some success but it won't be very pretty herb I'll promise you that. The number one tip I can give is get some shade cloth, it lets some light through but provides a much cooler leaf temperature. Get that shit covering your plant(s) so that they are shaded during the hottest part of the day but allow them some direct sunlight if possible in the morning and evening. As the guy above said you should expect to water A LOT, also don't use black pots as they retain heat. I dug a fairly large hole in my backyard and filled it with some good soil so the roots could benefit from the coolness and insulation of the earth.

Go with sativas they like the heat, water the hell out of them.

I was expecting summer to be like the last one. Getting over 32c consistently. I'm growing with lights on at night. So they don't cook during the day with all that heat.

only seen them go up to 110f before but with many fans blowing onto the plants .. where the hell does it get 122f out side ! ?

The desert.

It gets pretty damn hot in central and north Australia. Never going to visit alice springs again. That place was like a b.o punchbowl.

Also, since you're in the Southern Hemisphere you'd better act quick cause the season is well on its way.

You could always run autoflower strains during the spring and fall though.
