[checkmark9]

i have 2 plants in my attic and when it get around 80 ouside it is probably 95 to 100 in the attic. Will that kill my mj even if a fan is blowing softly on the plants?

oh yea and i live in seattle so the temp will not be that high for too much longer. So if non stop high temp will kill it how about maybe 1 day every now and then?

Yes, those temps are very bad for cannabis. Cannabis plants virtually stop growing at around 85 F. The ideal temperature for cannabis is anywhere from 74-80 degrees with 74 being optimal. If you can, add some sort of AC unit to your grow show. The attic is usally one of the hottest places in the house. If you have a basement then I would suggest shifting your grow show to the basement. Since you only have a small number of plants then you could possibly move it to a closet or unused bedroom.

it will be cooling down soon, but what about the fan blowing on it. Will that help alot?

of course a fan is better then nothing. You want a fan on them to develop strong stems as well. lightly.

Well if you are just blowing around the same air in the closet, no, it will dry thing's out even more. You want to either take out warm air, best option, or have fresh air being blown in.

definatley use a fan.

mine hit 105 degrees for about a week, i was using a 10 inch desk fan 24/7then i got a proper extracter/duct and ive averaged between 75/83 degrees, still growing well, now about a week into flowering at average 78 degs f, maybe ive been very lucky or just have very good air? 6 females out of six plants

How exactly does your setup work?

[babystarbud]

the temps here have dropped a bit partly due to the heatwave finishing, and partly due to my adding a good fan kit.

its my first reasonably serious grow, so im no expert, but i think the key to surviving hot temps is to keep that air moving even if its just re-circulating rather than venting. my set up is very unsophisticated compared to some, just miracle grow compost, and 400w grolux lamp and powerplant reflector, 5inch inline fan ( 250m3 per hour )

Checkmark,

As long as you have some good airflow they will survive. Understanding how heat waves go, I been there, done that..LOL

You may get a hermi or two out of it, but some is better than none if it's all you have. Being that Seattle doesn't normally see this kind of heat is one reason why you can get away with an attic grow. Down here our attics will top 120 F during the summer with no problem. That'll scorch a plant. Done that too. LOL
