hi guys and happy to find you. its my first grow and i need some help regarding sunlight and heat . i have 3 autoflowering girls in pots growing outside . i dont know if the heat is too much for them . i live in greece . the pants are exposed to really strong direct sunlight reaching temps of 30-40 C with humidity around 25-30 . offcourse i water them often and till now i havent had a single issue . i am at week 4 . but as the summer and sun gets more intense i worry about them . should i be moving them into shade ? should i be changing spots for direct sunlight? should i be spraying them often? please provide me with info . also i need to tell you that after 8-9 o clock i am moving them inside a tent with strong cfls untill the morning sun where i move them back outside. in the tent i emulate same conditions regarding temp and i give them a bit more humidity around the 40s. is that a good practise or is making more harm? i will be gratefull for any help. thanks

Sorry I didnt realize your temps were so high, Im a stupid american and celcius is chinese to me lol. Your temps will definitely play a part and the strain can matter as well. Indicas come from cooler climates and therefore prefer cooler temps and sativas prefer warmer temps.
thank you so much for answering . the plant now is at the first week of flowering. i have been having it since day one in 24 hours light. do you think i should move it to 18/6? will i stress it by changing the chedule? is it wise to do that or just leave it as is just with more shade during the day? thank you for your time
How old is the plant? 30-40C (86-104F) is too high of temperature for growing cannabis. I'm surprised the plants haven't shown signs of heat stress yet. 21-28C (70-83F) is a more comfortable range.
