How to Prevent Cannabis from Heat Stress?

As you probably have heard before, cannabis plants love warm temperatures and do the best in this type of environment. But sometimes it is possible to overdo it when it comes to warm temperatures and your plant. Too much heat can create a number of issues that can lead to damaging or worst case scenario, even killing your plant.
There are several reasons why cannabis plants can overheat. Generally they are quite resistant plants but if the temperatures get too high this can cause issues. Depending on whether you are growing cannabis plants indoor or outdoors the challenges vary. It can be caused by too much light, nutrient burn, low humidity, or equipment failure to name a few.
In outdoor areas cannabis growers are at the mercy of the elements. Sometimes intense heat waves can come that can cause damage to the plant. In indoors it mainly comes down to managing the equipment. It is important to use it properly so the environment isn’t too hot or too cold for the plant.
There are several ways a cannabis plant shows signs of heat stress. The stage of growth the plant is at also will have an effect on how the symptoms show up. The leaves are often where the heat stress first appears. They will curl upward around their edges and form a cup-like shape.
Depending on why your plant is experiencing heat stress the solutions differ. It’s important not to confuse heat stress with other issues, as some of the symptoms can look similar to deficiencies. For heat stress indoors often it can be caused by improper use of equipment or maybe more ventilation is needed, installing an air conditioner can be a good place to start and increasing the distance between the canopy and leaves.
Outdoors it’s a bit more difficult to control the environment but there are still a couple things you can do. If you know ahead of time the temperature will be too hot you can create a shade for your plants. You can also change the watering schedule around to ensure your plants have plenty of water.
