So my lil grow consists of 8 bag seeds. 7 Indica - 1 from a different batch the other 6 from the same. I do have one Sativa.

I've read that Indica's take better to climate change, due to the climate they originate from.

temps in my cab been between 78-85 average. the other day they shot up 90-95 and I set them up in a temp grow box I had in a cooler room.

All seem to be doing ok and are back in the cab except the Sativa.

I noticed my Sativa is getting little discolorations on the leaves

I think it's heat stressed ( It's my oldest but went through the stress of being in sunlight as a seedling and me learning how to properly transplant.) I don't think it's going to die, but has anyone had the same situation as me? any advice?

SO what are you saying they have been shocked?

If so you just have to ride it out. They should correct themselves. Are you using a Hydrozyme or any zyme? That is something that is always good to run through also maybe like a root 66 product after a transplant..

Good Luck GL

all of them except one are indica, and the indica are fine. But my Sativa (just one) seems easily heat stressed is that normal? in comparison to sativa to indica?

Umm- just to point out...

If it's bag seed, you really don't know the genetic background- yer making guesses by phenotype, which doesn't have a 1:1 correlation w/ genotype.

I'd be really surprised if you got bag seed which wasn't a hybrid- straight up indi's are almost as rare as straight sats.

Sorry i was estimating by physical appearance. Was just curious since they are all exposed to the same environment. yet the one that looks Sativa is stressing more.

Something to chew on:
Sativas tend to be light feeders.
OVerfed plants tend to react to high-temperature stress in more extreme ways.
Do the math, and see what ya come up with! ;)
