How do you outdoor growers do it?

If it never gets a chance to acclimate you'll have problems the entire time. Is 104 good? No. Is it going to roast them like a turkey? Not if they have a decent root system and are generally healthy.
You'll find in really hot weather plants 'bolt' and stretch up super fast. If there's a way to partly shade them it would benefit. If not then let em ride. If they're wilted, pop em in the shade for a while, and they'll pop back up. I usually paint my pots white, to reflect the sun and not soak up as much heat, helps when the plant is little and the leaves aren't shading the pot out yet. Try to use a safe water based paint, or just buy white pots ;). Good luck!

Good advice. Outdoor is a crapshoot. The plants can adapt to their environment, always have, always will. It’s up to us to try and relieve the stress on them but in the end only so much you can do.

@doublejj what is the final weight of one of your trees?

average 5-6 lbs of top buds. We don't bother trimming the lower buds, those go into concentrates. So realistically around 6-8 lbs of buds, strain dependent. Blue Dream and a few others can go as high as 8-10. I think our biggest was 11 or 12. Some of the best strains aren't the heaviest producers however they sell out quickly. Actually growing Monsters is trickier than it looks, one mistake can wipe out and entire greenhouse. A good crew and daily monitoring is key to success. (Don't try this at home)

That is amazing. Job well done, sir. I would love to just see an operation like this some time.
