Heat wave

[JDU]

Just a lil shout out to the West coast in particular- I hope everyone came thru that blistering heat ok. Salem, OR had 3 days of 98°F or higher. I saw that Death Valley hit 130° ystrdy. Seems like this was the yr to grow sativas out this way.
How did folk cope with the heat? I'd like to hear some hints n hacks.....

had a heat wave in Europe last week got up to 95f (35c). I was putting 5L frozen water bottles in my small tent in front of the fan. lowered temp to 2-3c under ambient. she pulled out fine but she's a haze so can handle higher temps. didn't seem to affect humidity that much. at first the humidity drops by 10-15% from all the condensation but it quickly rises back up near ambient.

unless you do hydro and control water temps i don't think there is much to do sadly, outside of ac.

I had the same problem, my tent was hitting the 40s sometimes but there seems to be no lasting damage thankfully!

105f here maybe hotter in Roseburg town. 90s rest the week or below real nice breeze helps but man is it humid. I took all the autos off the roof for there health and my hubby building new steps up there so they are gone. LOL

[JDU]

We hit 102 the other day but Portland & Roseburg have been hotter'n us as usual.

Nope no heat wave here in my part of Canada... 2 weeks ago yes but not this week, and beside my grow room is heat wave proof loll As I speak the girls are sleeping to a cool 23C, 73F for my American friends

[JDU]

Heatwave proof eh?
Ok now I'm triple jealous of ya hahaha.

The heat and humidity here in Southern California has made it feel like a Mexican Rain Forest. Sultry heat, but the evenings in the garden are amazingly fragrant.

That is an absolute beauty. I was given 3 Wedding Cake clones but I got them late in the season and they began flower a few weeks ago and are only about 18"-20" tall. That main cola is magnificent.

[SoOrbudgal]

Man that's a beauty. I'm going to toss a wedding cake into my cookie grow LOL that's my next run cake and cookies. We fell for the wedding cake last run to dispensary my hubby really enjoyed it and me too. Picked up seeds

[JDU]

Nice grow!!

.......You're gonna wash the buds? In water? Wont they mold?

[Rwise]

All y'all got Ok's hot ass weather, thats ok you can keep it, LOL I kinda like getting up to mid 50's-low 60s and highs in the 80s. September October like weather for here, the doors are open with fresh cool air moving through the house.

[SoOrbudgal]

Brother i had to get up 2x last eve sweat just dripping. But it cools into the 60s by 2am just dandy. We have in the 90's f daily, cloud cover humidity. Oh boy wonder what sept. will bring outdoor growers prepare for thunder showers and flowering girls

[Rwise]

I just cant wait (ya right!) for the High over the desert SW to start coming my way. With the cooler days I am getting things done outside like about 300 feet of fence installed.

[9fingerleafs]

It’s been a pretty damn hot year. Watch out for mold

[JDU]

Yeah...... 77°F & overcast with light sprinkles for 2 days..... I got WPM to spare outdoors. 😑

Summer came and went this week up near Bellingham, WA. Rain last night, sweet Mother! I grow indoors, but the cool-off was nice.

You can buy seeds in OR dispensaries??? I just found out you can get clones in them. Joyriding to Salem on Saturday for In n Out Burgers!
I've been ready to go to Medford all summer, but learned there is one near Salem - a mere day-trip if you really like tripping, LOL.
Now I may include the dispensary tour as well

[crucialbunny]

Isn't there some sisters operating one out yonder in Petticoat Junction? Or maybe it was Hooterville? I been out here on Choctaw Ridge so long I can't remember anymore.

[JDU]

Sho nuff! I'm thinin it's Hootersville lol.
I tell you what- this city livin sure has got me missin the boondocks!!

[AccidentalGardener]

JDU Check yer PMs!

[Rwise]

Are all y'all ready for this? 2 big nasties hitting the gulf near the same time and place, I think that heat wave is about to break! Everything here says rain, and lots of it, turtles are heading uphill, dragon flies are at the hill top, smoke is hanging low, ants are building up the sides of their den, the girls dont want to let go of yellow leaves, and many other signs (my back is killing me!).
Hang on folks, we gonna get wet!

[SoOrbudgal]

Good luck Rwise hopefully it won't do any real harm.

[Rwise]

SoOrbudgal All I will see here is maybe heavy rain and winds, FL pan handle is getting rain now. Now if I start seeing sea gulls, I'll close the attic vents. Looks like both are going to take different tracks over land, thats good.
