I'm actually somewhat skeptical of the claim that cannabis thrives in areas that routinely reach 110 in the summer. Even in desert areas like Afghanistan and the Riff Valley of Morocco, cannabis is primarily found in mountain environments. One of the reasons I've moved to autoflowering plants is because in the state where I live and guerrilla grow, I have a tough time keeping them alive and thriving during the sweltering hot summer even with plenty of water. Being able to harvest in early July means that my girls don't spend 3 months burning up in the Tejas summer sun.
