[iarbaman]

My plants are having a hard time right now. During the day they look like have spent some time in the oven!!!
But at the same time, next morning they look perfectly healthy:thumbsup:
Is these ok, or it will delay flowering, or something like that???
Thanks you all:rastasmoke:

Just make sure the soil doesn't get bone dry.

Don't over water. Moist soil is better than saturated. Let it dry out in between watering, but not bone dry. Take a tooth pick to the soil..

you need a bigger pot for those big plants. bigger pot will help cut down the everyday watering.

Holy shit that's a lot of (potential) pot for such a little pot
- I really don't like to refer to it as pot, but I couldn't resist

Yeah... the roots are probably so dense in that thing you could keep dumping water in there 24/7 and it would keep chuggin :stoned:

I wear a size 13 shoe... I would NOT be too comfortable spending much time in a ladies 6.... Nahh mean? Shit looks nice otherwise :thumbsup:

Your plants should be fine. I've grown outdoors for several years here outside of Houston; and this year we've been over 95` since June. No problems. You don't mention if you have plates under your pots, if not, I recommend at least the plastic ones to help retain moisture. You can also use a fine mulch covering the soil. I just use the shredded paper from my shredder. One other point I might mention, is the direct sunlight they're getting; you only need 5 to 6 hours of direct sun light. You might experiment with this.

As for interrupting flowering? I seriously doubt it, just follow your watering/feeding regimen, and nature should take care of the rest. My plants have just started flowering, and should finish early Oct.

I manage to have two outdoor harvests a year however, because of the milder winters here in Houston. I have rooted clones by the first of Feb, and if the temps are to cold, I'll keep them under lights 20/4. Weather permitting, I'll take them outside for natural light <and electric bill savings>, and take them into the grow shed to finish the 20 hour light cycle each evening. By the middle of march, they're ready for full-time natural outside growth. The short springtime photo period throws them into flowering, with plenty of time to finish. Also, around the 1st of April, I'm starting my summer plants that finish in Oct.
If I can figure it out, I'll post some of this springs photos...

Hi, I grow in a hot dry area without much problems. It typically gets into the triple digits during our summers. As long as the plants are around two feel tall they can handle it seedlings not so much. I keep mjy girls in a greenhouse and because the GH retains moisture I only need to water them every other day but the two males I am keeping out in the open need daily watering. You can put a layer of perlite over your soil to help keep things cooler. Are you growing where you took the pictures? If so those cinderblocks/bricks do retain a lot of heat. They do look good.
