Strains That Flower Well in Heat

It's summer here, I grow in a grow tent and air cool my lights with the outside air, but the air is usually up to 88 or 89F outside during the night during July and August, so I'm looking for some strains that flower well in the heat. I have two 435CFM fans, one for intake for the tent, and another that is on top of the tent, set for exhaust and it is connected to my grow lights to cool them. Got an oscillating fan inside the tent to keep the air moving. So far it has been 82F outside and 85F inside my tent max, but one of my lights is still open-air and not air-cooled so once I get all 3 of them air cooled I can keep the tent about the same temperature as it is outside.

Throw me some strains that grow well in the heat. I know that Mandala seeds have strains that do well up to 100F, so I will probably be looking into getting a few seeds from them, but I want some different options. Wanna hear from some people who have actually grown in warmer conditions. 76-78F is not gonna happen for me unless I spend hundreds of dollars sealing off my garage and buying an A/C....

i was going to say mandala. stress coping is a big deal with his strains.

i was surprised to see my holy smoke seeds' malawi golds were the hardest hit by heat stress plants in a grow with a bunch of other strains. part of it might have been how tall the plant was, but the sweet haze next to it barely got burned in the same few hours i forgot to run my fan one night. i would have expected a tropical strain to do better. malawi is an african strain. i don't know, i tend to think of sativas as being fussier and would think that thicker indica strains would have more shade & water retention for coping with heat stress. all i know for sure is DON'T pick malawi gold for that.

in doing a keyword search, i found this result right here in rollitup you should check out

that should help i hope

Durban poison is from a tropical part of south africa, humid and mid 20C most of the year.
I'd go for swazi, but had good fun with amnezia haze in the warmest year I've grown in, never seen such sugar coated stuff.

i grew mandala's satori and it was every bit as heat resistant as they claimed. temps in the closet regularly reached the mid 90s that year and the plants didn't give the slightest fuck. excellent smoke, also.

i also find plants that have a silica supplement as part of the feeding routine fare better in the heat, also. it's worth mentioning that i did in fact use silica on the satori crop.

Read the whole post, lol. Try cooling a whole 2 car garage that's not air tight...that is where this tent is located.

Thanks! I was going to try Satori a couple years ago but had problems with soil so all my seeds ended up dying. Was a newb back then and that also had something to do with it...I'll definitely get me a pack of Satori since that is one of their signature strong strains. I was going to say I thought I heard something about silica helping with heat. I use Rhino Skin from advanced nutrients during my flowering so that should help boost everything up.

durban poison was the first REAL high other than half a dozen better batches of mexican commercial if that in a full decade in the mid 90s. i was disappointed that it didn't measure up to my expectations of it's comparison to thai as california columbian gold was much trippier and licorice is one of the most vulgar tastes in the world to me and it's expansive smoke gave me poisoned dry heaves with almost every toke, but it was worth enduring for the genuine mellow high it offered (no clue to which breeder it was from whether afropips or a dutch bank or even nirvana). i tried in vain to buy at least a quarter. not my favorite strain, but i love getting high and it delivers that and just how much it really does taste like licorice is worthy of much respect from me where blueberry tastes like a single grain of artificial blueberry sugar stuck on your tongue.

i'd like to hear how satori smokes. i loves me some 8 miles high! it's buzz is kind of similar to durban, but without the flavor, expansion and dry heaves. it's a perfectly well behaved mellow euphoric strain perfectly centered between stony quaaludes and racy paranoia. it's energy effects are minimal. it's just a light playful buzz i'd be happy smoking nothin' but if that's all there was. i wanted to try whatever strain of his has "the best" buzz. as satori's more expensive, i'd expect it to be more potent or something superior. 8 miles high squeaky clean haze high is plenty nice. i'd have some right now if they didn't go off market until next year.

I understood and thats why I tried to steer you away from the dp. The other ones I mentioned I have grown outdoors in temps exceeding 110.

Thanks, I actually have read some very mixed stuff on Durban, so i will definitely stay away from that. Sweet, so your outdoor temps that are in that range....is it also pretty humid as well? Cause my problem is, I am forced to grow at night when it is slightly cooler, but that also makes the humidity go up as well. But if I keep my exhaust fan going full blast and my intake fan going 3/4, I can keep humidity at around 65-70% more than likely.

P.S. My apologies sir, that comment i made earlier about "read the whole post" was actually meant to be towards

Bro there is no strains that handle that sort of heat indoor. You cant compare out to in as outdoor they may have to veg under 110 deg but they will still stress outside at these temps but the diff is outdoor its about 6 hours of intense heat(10am-4pm) ,indoor its 18 hours plus and also when they flower outdoor its Autumn and its only about 80 (perfect), where is yours will try to flower at 100+ deg.
I would put some outdoor for now and wait till Autumn where you can harvest outside and then start indoor in much cooler conditions.

lol im just gonna run some Mandala and other strains and just hope for the best. I don't mind stretched buds in the summer really...I can't afford to run the AC cause it would literally be on for 12 hours straight every night ive done it before and the electricity bill is absurd....like adding two more 400watt lights basically lol. Wish outdoors was an option but unfortunately im not located in an area where thats possible. Thanks for the help guys! Keep tuned to my grow tent if you wanna see how it goes :)
