Heat Stress? First Grow

  1. Hey Guys, glad to be part of the community. This is day 8 of my first grow and I noticed my leaves "tacoing," just wanted a proper diagnosis of heat stress.


    This a hydroponic grow, 98% perlite, 2% potting soil to sprout the seed (excess soil removed)
    Indoors, two 23 watt cfls
    Originally 2 inches away (Which was ok at first) --- Now about 4.5ish inches away from the top
    The strain I am using is Auto Widow
    I was originally watering every 2 days, but now a quick soak (half a poland spring bottle) in the morning, and then half a gallon with nutes when I come home from work. (4:30ish-5) (EveryDay last couple of days)
    Using general hydroponics (half strength)
    Temps currently in my room 84 degrees -- cooling after a 91 degree day - about 69% humidity
    1 gallon pot
    On my window sill to receive a cross breeze (if any) in my apartment


    Other info -- Been over 90 degrees in the tristate area, expected to be like this for another week [​IMG][​IMG]
    I tilted the plant a little in one of the pics so you can see it from an angle
    I wanted to know the next course of action...obviously keep the plant cool (no A/C)
    Fan would bring attention to someone I'd rather not want to know I'm growing...This a ghetto apartment grow


    Main Concern...I have heat stress...worried about future hermie


    Opinions? And Thank you again guys!

    Looks fine, keep water off leaves when lights are on, it can burn spots onto them
