Looking for suggestions
Thinking about getting another grow going soon...problem is the loft is like an inferno during the summer months
Does anyone have any experience with growing in high temps or have any suggestions as to strains that might be more tolerant of the heat?
Thanks in advance :)

Re: Looking for suggestions
The only 2 things I can think that would make a hot loft situation better is insulation to keep heat out and lots of airflow from a cooler room downstairs, obviously aircon but that would get expensive.

Insulate Flip, not really another option. That YBS super quilt is a good option to start.

Re: Looking for suggestions
I agree with the tips. Also if electric is a issue make a ice diy cooler ac unit.. super easy and works well I’ve used them while camping.

Re: Looking for suggestions
How hot does it get? I grow in a loft. When I had hps it was horrible. With leds I think the plants actually prefer it hotter and have been up to 34c this summer so far, maybe more, and the plants continued praying throughout.

Re: Looking for suggestions
Agree with this when my hole in the wall gets up into the 30+ they do seem happier with the led. I'm guessing the warmer environment allows for the lack of infra red provided by led and raising room temp compensates for the lower leaf tempohlordyeah_420 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 8:35 pmHow hot does it get?
