Help hot temps 35-37 degrees Celsius a problem ?????

I am using natural black soil.. And I have added some coco and cow manure.. Here where I live no good ready made mixes so u gotta make ur own.. It's the same mixture I used to grow Mobydick ,critical n critical 2.0....I think may be the kush is a little wet cuz I had just watered it.. And it looks darker cuz of that.. I am a little worried now cuz I stunned em.. I will make sure I be onto use nutes befo 4th set of leaves.. I feel sorry for her... But now my question is will she recover...?? Do u think I should something to save her.. Or may be flush all the nutes from the soil..???
 
When u saying other soil... Do u mean that this plant won't grow any more in height.. ..also is there anything that could save kush..?? Thanks
 
image.jpgimage.jpgHi can any one tell me whats going on with her.. Why r the leaves turning yellow and also if u look at the pic closely the tips look like they r burnt... It's Og kush auto.. And one month old.. Very small for one month .plz help '!!!
 
That don't look burnt, to me the soil looks weird... odd... i grow in hydro so i am no soil/coco expert but its looks like MUD. Do you know what the PPM's and PH of your run off is? Is the soil drying out properly?

Are you getting a fair amount of run off?

PH,PH,PH.....Can not stress it enough. your soil looks to have a lot of clay in it and canna don't like that it should be more loamy....manure and autos don't do well either, For one month it's purdy stunted......
 
So it's it the soil problem.... Cuz I am growing my other lady auto in the same kinda soil and she's doing great.. Touch wood.. So I don't think it's the soil.. Or may be it is... The other is in the same soil and it's no problem. For her... So don't know... Bro ? So what do sass u suggest?
 
Compost Compost Compost << as an allotment grower on the other side of the world you need to get some organic matter dug into that soil - or pot grow - clay pots with a plastic pot inside help shield the plant from extreme heat in the pot via direct sunlight - you can even sink the pots down into the ground. I know people who grow like this in S.Spain no problem at your temps.
 
Find if the pots get too hot the roots get brownish. We use three gallon smart pots with a custom soil mix. If the soil get to 32C we spread ice cubes around the pot perimeter. About an inch from the edge. The top inch of soil surrounding our plants is made of aged wood chips. We take the temp at about the two inch level.
 
Hope things turn for the better for you.I stunted mine horrible in the first 3 weeks due to transplanting.autos are definitely less forgiving then photos. I've had to learn to not touch them and they do great.just listen to these guys and gals and I'm sure they will point you in the direction for success. Plus messing up is sometimes the course we need to take to get better at something.take it as a lesson not a punishment,happy growing
 
From a scientific perspective - since evaporation takes a LOT of energy to convert water to steam (evaporate) - how about wrapping the outside of the pots in capillary matting or old carpet/cloth, which during the hottest times are given a good soaking. This should shield the pots from the extreme fluctuations and the worst of the heat.

Just a thought...
