I know high temps stress a plant which can cause slowed and or stunted growth but I also read recently when researching how to increase thc levels that stress by uv rays will make the plant produce more resins to protect the flowers,

Shade cloth (the shit they use at home depot to cover the outdoor garden section) works well. Make sure you stay on top of watering and if you really want to get fancy, Google potassium silicate

When it was 105 and such here I added water and sat back and watched them reach for the stars. I swear I had some great growth in high heat.

I throw a high velocity fan out there if the air is stagnant otherwise ... nothing. Behold the power of the sun.
 
I just water them more often. other than that, they do fine. I grow in the middle of a field where it gets maybe 15 minutes of shade and just from the grass around it, once she over grows the grass its 4-8 hours of constant sun.

I've had plants thrive at 90 - 105. Plenty of water
is all it took to keep them strong and healthy.

I am using dyna grow pro-tekt now for the new batch just in case.
Good for resisting disease,bugs,heat,cold and wind.
Builds the cell wall structure in branches to
support bud weight and grows a big strong healthy
root system. Plants takes up nutrients better as well.

100 dg plus days in the summer are common here. They can handle it fine, just make sure they have enough water

your soil should be mulched and shaded, and watering right is key. if the leaves are cool to the touch they're transpiring perfectly:lol: and if you can, water with cool water.
