Thanks @KingRatt @Waira and @DDubs for your comments… you know how to put the pressure on!
It was becoming unbearably hot in the tent… I recorded a maximum of 39.9°C and a low of 34°C.
Antonio, the plants were suffering, so I made a snap decision to buy an air cooling unit. With all the advances in growing technology recently, FINALLY there’s a solution!
The AeroLush C08 Intelligent Air Conditioner by Vivosun.
Here it is all installed…
Here’s a link to how I set it all up…

It works pretty well. Here’s a graph showing the high temps in red dropping almost immediately after I installed it on Wednesday…
The plants loved it and started to flourish. Here they are on day 28…
Clockwise from top left… Red Tropicana Cookies, SOS Blue, White G3 and Kalakta.
I’ve done a bit of leaf tucking this morning which is why they look a bit chaotic…. loads of stems pushing through!
The SOS Blue is the largest on the back right…
Then Red Tropicana Cookies…
She wasn’t happy at all in that heat, but picked up pretty quickly.
Kalakta also suffered a bit with the high temps, but again has bounced back nicely…
You can see a few yellow tipped leaves near the bottom.
White G3, being one day younger than the rest, was most affected by the heat, stunted from day 1.
She’s smaller than the rest and has these weird serrations in her leaves….
She’s in a slightly smaller pot than the others.
I remember @SAWNEY-BEAN saying that this plant is a small, quick one, so I’ll have to keep my eye on her.
Thanks for looking in, gotta get back to the Sumo! C’mon Kirishima!!!
