| Hello everyone!
|
| We are having an exceptional summer here in montreal but we also having
| heat
| wave.
| I`m growing under fluorescent and sometimes, the temperature is over 35
C.
| I
| have a fan in front of the phal but it only pushes hot air. I was
| wondering
| what would be the best solution to cool down my plants ! I was thinking
| closing the fluorescent light ! Is a couple of days without bright light
| would be ok ? Is this a good idea!
|
| I already lost some plants because of a nasty heat wave in july and I
want
| to stop this!
|
| Any idea?
