You don't want to give your plants more water than they can use, but in a hot environment your plants will use more water. I guess another thing you would want to keep in mind is to use a more dilute fertilizer solution if and when you fertilize, since your plants' fertilizer requirements are not any higher.

When choosing a strain, the better ones for a hot environment are ones that are regarded as easy to grow. Strains that are easy to grow are usually that way because they develop healthy root systems. Fussier strains are often selected strictly based on bud quality, not root quality.

I've grown Nirvana's Big Bud, Mandala's Hashberry, and Mandala's Satori in a hot attic. So far I haven't had any hermies or other stress problems, despite often having temperatures over 100 degrees F. To be honest, most of my experience growing has been outdoors with bagseed, but the same rules apply there. If the weather was very hot, my plants would always thrive as long as I made sure to water them enough.
sweet thanks again for the info....I dont think Mandala ships to where I am but at some point I'll probably try afghan or big bud.
in terms of temps average is 85 during the day...its has peaked to 90 a few times, but that is rare. I've only nuted twice so far with a 10% solution....i'm 3 weeks in. I nuted last friday and saturday I noticed just the ever slightest tip yellowing despite having explosive growth. to be safe I did a moderate flush. and thats when i noticed that the large dose of water seemed to help with the heat problem. tomorrow i'm gonna nute again but this time use more water in my solution. I think i'm also going to experiment watering less frequently but with more water and see if my theory is right about more water helping with the heat problem. they still look very healthly and strong and tonight I noticed they are starting to show sex .... lets hope for females!

to answer your question I grow in a small space and dont let them get that big, I just dont have the room...but at the same time a little bud goes a looooong way for me.
