    I forgot to add, 10 gallon totes using six gallons with a 127 GPH water pump ahd a six outlet DIG water manifold, a quad outlet air pump with four 4" x 2" air stone in each reservoir (tote).
    It’s obviously an outdoor grow. I live in Oklahoma and this time of year it’s hot as hell. The natural sunlight on the east side of house goes into shadow around 2pm. I have an led grow light on timer that comes on at 8, goes off at midnight giving it 18/6. The only thing I haven’t checked is ph.

    Howdy mgbarber58, I grow indoors in a DWC hydroponics system and I can't give much advice on growing outside and in soil. As far as the heat mitigation outside, I live south of Your location and it's hot here as well. A friend of mine used to grow vegetables (in particular Brussels sprouts) and they did not tolerate the heat well at all. He set up a cheese cloth tent over them wilt a fine mister along the top and thru the evaporation and partial shading, got good results from His garden. This may help You out in Your situation as well.
    I have eliminated all light leaks from Outside my Flowering tent. But there IS Light coming Out of my tent where the Intake is - is that a "No-No?
    (That's why I asked about how to make a Light Trap, in case it's bad if light comes out of my vent hole when the lights are ON. When the light is OFF, no light can come in the tent because I fixed a couple light leaks I found and tested the room with the Overhead Light off and It's Black, Black, Black :-) THANKS for all the suggestions and Help! (I want to get this Right since I've already scrapped 2 flowering attempts and wasted 4 expensive seeds :-(

    As long as there will be no 'outside' light during the night time setting in the tent, then the small light leaks will not matter. My problems were light infiltrating thru the window curtains (cover them over with 'blackout' curtains) and accidentally turning on the over head light (just trying to my head out of my butt! LOL). The little leaks could be a problem if One had two or more tents in the same area on different light schedules (one bloom and one vegetative).
    On indoor grows with mechanical timers you don't have to do anything. the timers don't know anything about daylight savings time and neither do the plants.

    Thanks Motoman15 , the same goes for the digital timers (that I use). I just did not want to do anything to 'upset' the day light / dark ratio and cause and problem with the plants while they are in the bloom cycle, especially since they only have about seven or eight weeks left to mature.
    Got a few autos here that are quite spectacular too. Photo doesn't do it justice... It's about 19''long and about 3.5-4 '' fat it's unreal.

    That is a 'problem' that I would like to be overwhelmed by!! I'm in the curing stage with the first plant (harvested 3/10) and on the final bloom feed for the other one and will flush it next Saturday, then harvest the following week. I cure my buds in small (8 oz.) glass jars in the refrigerator to prevent mold. The grow before last, I lost about an ounce due to mold growth, I was curing them in a dark closet that was, apparently warm enough to allow the mold to grow. It takes a little a little longer, but I have not lost any since then (knock on wood! lol).
    Good luck with Your curing.
