If the bottom of the plant isn’t getting enough light it will canabilize the lower fans. Make sure they’re getting plenty of water in that kind of heat.

Fully saturate the ground around them.You cannot over water plants in the summer during 100 degree heat.But you are definitely under watering right now.

how much is enough ? ive been giving them 4 gallons every other day or so

How much is enough is the same as never wilts.

Throw a heavy thickness of mulch around the base of your plants and extend that out away from the base as well since your in the ground. You can use grass clippings or anything like that to slow water loss. I grow in a green house with those kind of temps. They can be brutal.

Awesome thanks bro

I have another question @JimJonesJr and @BeanTownFan420 and @Pennywise ... I use a plant shade sometimes when they look very stressed from the heat... How much should I be shading them? I have been trying to unshade them during the day but after about 2 hrs of 100+ they look horrible so i end up shading them most of the day, is that ok or should i just let them tuff it out ?

If they suffer from the heat I would use it myself.

The heat really hurts 2 of them but the others seem to handle it alot better...also the shade i have shades out alot of light, Id say 50% or so... should I take it on and off every couple of hours during the heat of the day ?

 

[JimJonesJr]

I use a shade cloth on my grow in the gh. It's a 30% block. I see no slowing of growth and temps are a little better. I got a 10x20 on eBay for like $20. With this you can just leave the plant shaded.

Heat will kill them not reduced sun intensity

well i watered them about 2 hrs ago and they are surely happy I see a major diff. thanks guys .
Ya know Im so mad at myself for not noticing the most obvious issue... I have done everything right this grow and i forgot the most fundamental thing..How could i have missed it ? Grrr!! well I wont make that mistake again for sure LOLz... I guess I just needed to consult with the community earlier than i did ... better late than never thanks to all
