Due to my growing situation I've had little control over heat - unfortunately my gut tells me this might be my undoing.
Clones from a previous successful grow (donated by a friend)
Indoor grow
Grow is 8-9 weeks 16/8 then 9-9 weeks 12/12
Living Soil with organic supplements (Dr Greenthumbs)
Humdity averaging below 50%
Temperature averaging around 30-33 degrees C (85-91F)
pH 6.5 - 7.5
Everything was going pretty well until a heatwave that pushed the plants up to 43C (110F) intermittently over a two week period - I tried airing the tents out and letting heat out (but between work and family can't always get to it when I want). Looks like heat stress may be causing the flower to go back into new growing instead of swelling. I'm not seeing much trichome production and basically no nice smell (terpenes missing or damaged?)
I do know that high heat can stunt flower growth and even evaporate trichomes - I'm wondering if I should tough it out or trash it and start again.
Sidenote: I also have a second grow in the same area going great - same location, growing medium and fertilisers - and it seems to be travelling fine.
