Humidity way too low, help: misting plants during the day in hot weather

[Gee]

Experience has helped me in determining that things are WAY TOO HOT AND DRY in my area. last year i had burned leaves that died off over several weeks and i think it hindered my yield. At the moment it is 6:57pm and it is 102 at 19% humidity.... CRAP! Anyway, i have set up misters under the eves of my roof, but it is not direct sun.

Can my plants have direct sun AND have misters that go on and off, sort of like the vegi section at the supermarketr?????????

Make sure your soil is soaking wet!

Try a 40% shade cloth
And water with Yucca Extract

Always.... I water first thing in the morning

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Water is your only solution do not let the soil dry in that heat.Yes and a cover if you can but water is most important.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

That is some KILLER heat!

I'll take 102 with 19% humidity all day long compared to the humid bullshit we get to suffer through.
Last week we were 90 degrees and 60% humidity.
Its like a sauna.

 

[BeanTownFan420]

Sauna with bud rot!

I use ThermX70 which is a liquid kinda like honey

 

[Gee]

thanks to everyone for the comments. 40% shade and Yucca en route from "zon...

 

[Gee]

one last question......Does Aloe Vera also provide a similar drenching? I have read several places that suggest it has saponins in it as well

 

[Nunyabiz]

It does, not quite as good as Yucca extract for this purpose but always a good addition.
Aloe has hormones, Auxins and Gibberellins, plus enzymes and amino acids.
It's a great root tonic and works very well for foliar spraying.

I use Aloe vera in my water and also use it as a wetting agent for foliar during veg, I use ThermX70 and Coconut water both veg and flower.

soak some babies nappies/diapers cut open , put the wet crystals around the plants or in bowls , top up when drying ) this will help

I'm a little north of you Gee.
I am in Redding.
Or, as I like to call it: Hell.

It was 112F yesterday at 5pm. But, that's ok, because by midnight it was a chilly 100.
At least our humidity doesn't get real high (but that's another problem),

LOL. Sunday, in Oodnadatta (in the Australian outback), it got up to 75°F. And in Death Valley, California... 130°F.
