A question from an indoor grower

Depends on the strain man. Get some straight sativas and you should be fine as long as you provide adequate water.

Well, I've been hearing that a good home-made way to lower temperature is to put frozen water bottles around in the grow-area. Unless you have a decent system of fans.

A very good way to do it is to place dry ice all around the plants. Not only do the plants love to breathe it in, but it keeps temps low.

Do you think even with 115F temps they'd survive? Unfortunately, outdoors the fans are not going to be possible and ice all year long is just a hassle. I'm hoping to switch to outdoor growing so I can grow bigger plants with less problems ( such as lighting, fans, temps, ) I just want to put em under the sun, feed and water them, and hope for the best

Sativa strains are from the equator. Hottest areas of the earth. If they are in a greenhouse and have enough water they should be fine.

I suppose a greenhouse with a filtered sunlight can't get get too hot. I think I'm going to give outdoor growing a try. I've been able to handle 90F temps in my indoor grow room so this cant be a whole lot worse

You should man. Its so much easier and you can get way bigger yields.

Gonna need adequate ventilation in that greenhouse, or they'll literally cook. Think of a dog left in the car on a hot day with the windows rolled up....no chance. A couple window or cheap box fans should do the trick.
