Growing Under 250W HPS at 34C

At about 45 days flowering after 10 days of veg at a rough constant of 33 - 35C, 5 of 8 plants starting to hermie up a bit. Just need to keep any pollinating accidents from happening for the next week or so, and I'm home free.
So far, it seems high temps haven't affected the yield particularly, however, temps like this will cause hermy issues.

I initially considered flowering at night, but the fan makes quite a lot of noise, and I decided that I wasn't going to let the grow room completely dominate my lifestyle:

Looking good!!

Yeah, a lot of the perfectionists will say stuff like that going above 80 degrees is bad for your plants, and going above 95 will kill them or whatever. But this plant is a lot more resilient than most of us give it credit for. After all, countries that have temps well over 100 degrees fahrenheit grow some of the best pot. Give it enough light and water and a little fertilizer, and it'll grow like, well, a weed. :smokin:

Fine-tuning your environment is necessary more for finicky strains and for coaxing a little extra bud out of your plants.

Oh damn, just realized I'm only at about 37 days of 12/12. That gives me another 2 weeks of hermy hunting...sigh. This is a critical period, it means all teh difference between a proper harvest and a ruined harvest.
I don't care if they get infected the 3rd last week, the seeds wont have time to develop, in fact some people feel that the buds swell if you pollinate them a week before harvest.

An interesting experiment, all in all though.

Woah, it's potent already! Nice. Great citrus smell. Very sticky.

Harvested.

7 NL's, vegged for 10 days, and grown at between 33c-38c, under 250W HPS.

About 20g dry missing from these pics, that I had to cast to the starving hords ouside my door, hollering and brandishing torches last night, lest I lose my life to the mob.
Weighing in at total 300g semi-wet. I think I'll land at around 180-200g dry.

Every single one hermied eventually, I was hitting around 38C for the last two weeks.
All in all, I bet I didn't find even 15 seeds out of 7 gals

I spent half an hour a day carefully snipping the tiniest tendencies towards male flowers. I also snipped the few seeds I found at a very young age, since this was an experiment grow anyway.
The results were very interesting, the flowers apparently healed themselves with new buds, as shown in this thread:

And finally, pics of most of the harvest:
