Hey all, i live in south america and im already be dealing with heat and gnats but is getting really hot around here, i have 2 plants in 12/12 completing 11 weeks today, one plant is G-force from the flying dutchman and the other is NL x Skunk. i cant afford an AC, so the question is:is it better to chop her now or wait and forget about the heat? The last pic is Nl and the others G-force. thanks

They look fine. I would wait til the trichomes turn milky unless you see something disastrous show up on the plants. They are almost done right?
 
I'd wait -IMO
Only run your lights at night when it is cool.
You don't have to run 12/12 you could run a 10/14 cycle
Get more fans.
You only have 1-2 weeks left, let her do her thing.
 
Without seeing your trichs, but seeing quite a few white hairs, I would wait a week or two, you won't be disappointed. I know Summer is fast approaching there, but 2 weeks will only benefit you, not hurt you.

thanks for your feedback, i'm already running the lights at night and i have 2 fans and an exhaust but when i run both fans at same time it gets hotter than with just one, so i decided just to run 1 fan and a passive intake and the temp is just 3 to 4 degrees hotter then the outside the tent but my outside temps at night is 28*celsius. i was thinking in decrease the lights hour to 10/14, do you think this gonna help me to harvest earlier than in 12/12 cycle?

Nope, not any quicker, just maybe a little less heat exposure with the 10/14 cycle.
Your only a week or so away. it shouldn't cause to much stress to decrease the lights.

IMO- I don't believe in the whole darkness thing, but this might be a case where you might want to do it. You can leave your plant in the dark for a week if you wanted. I left one in the dark for 2 weeks one time. it never died, granted it didn;t have light to do much of anything, it still grows, but slowed down. That could be an option, give her a week of dark, no light fan running 24/7, let her finish like that. It's an option -IMO
 
Didn't see any signs of serious heat stress. No canoeing on the leaves. Foxtailing was mild and didn't look like it is causing any major flower formation issues. I would run for the next week or two.
