Air Conditoining relay failed, 93 degrees F for 12 hours in the last week of Flowerin

My set up relies on a relay to operate the A/C through the timer, but it failed and as a result temps were at 93 degrees F for just about the full 12 hours of the lights on cycle,
Only one plant closest to the lights looks curled and burnt, but not completely dry or dead. They're in the last week so my question is do I leave her in there? Or do I just cut her down and harvest?
Also, do high temps kill the THC? Any help would be appreciated

If the burn damage is not to severe then i would suggest leaving her in there. She is a week away from harvest so hopefully she didnt get extensive damage on her. I would suggest removing any damaged plant leaves as dead plant material can attract pests.

TO answer your question about high temps killing THC.

The information i got is from Jeorge Cervantes. The guy that does all the How To books that are advertised in a certain Monthly magazine that's dedicated to my favorite plant. But i digress, he says and i quote

" Fresh green marijuana is not very potent. Drying converts THC into its psychoactive form and removes about 75% of moisture from freshly harvested plants. Moisture evaporates evenly when plants are dried slowly over 5-7 days or longer. BUDS dried too quickly retain chlorophyll and other substances within foliage. Such poorly dried cannabis tastes "GREEN", burns unevenly, and tastes bad."

The ideal temps for drying are between 65F to 75F with a humidity of 45 - 55 percent.

SO in conclusion I think you are ok as long as the burn damage isnt severe.

Hope this helped.

Peace.

If I remember correctly, photosynthesis stops at 95 degrees F, so you probably just stressed em out for the day. I've had ducting tear and it peaked at 100 for a day but my plants 2 weeks later are still frosty as ever and they're plenty healthy =]

Think about it, outdoors it hits 100+ in sacramento, and I have buddies who harvest 2lb a plant growing through the heat of the summer. You'll be alright, let it chill with the rest of the plants and harvest when they're ready, no need to jump the gun.
