recommended strain for high grow temps?
Sure, this is something I have personal experience with.
First of all, you need a strain that develops a really good root system. I would recommend checking out Mandala Seeds. All of his strains are exceptionally heat-resistant.
Second, you need to use a lot of dirt if you're growing in soil. And you probably should grow in soil if you don't have very precise control over your grow room. The more your plants' roots are able to spread out, the easier it is for them to regulate the water and nutrients going to the leaves. Also, a moist container of dirt will absorb a lot of heat without changing temperature much. Since having the roots change temperature stresses the plant, it benefits your plants to be growing in the largest possible container of dirt.
One approach that I am using successfully and that other people have had success with, is growing multiple plants in large containers. This keeps the plant from getting root-bound, increases the plant's ability to absorb nutrients and water, and makes the plants more heat-resistant without increasing the amount of dirt you need too much. I use Rubbermaid storage containers with a few holes drilled in the bottom for drainage. You can also use the lids as trays to catch runoff.
Another thing about growing in hot environments is that your plant dries out a lot more easily, so you'll need to water it more. I have one plant that uses almost a gallon of water every other day. By using all this water, the plant is effectively cooling itself, so this is a good thing. However, it does mean you'll need a certain amount of ventilation in your grow room to remove the excess moisture.
Good luck with your grow! :smokin:khronik Reviewed by khronik on . recommended strain for high grow temps? Are there strains that do better in indoor grow rooms that have high temps? where I'm hoping to grow there isn't much i can do about the temps until Fall comes and the air gets cooler. I just dont feel like waiting until october to start! Rating: 5
