I know they will, I had a plant with thrips my last grow (it was a clone gifted to me - aggh!) and I had humidity all over the place throughout.
And you’re welcome! Tag me any time, I’m around a lot.

I got one of those CO2 bags that you hang inside I put it right by the vent with the two fans in front of it and the big fan outside is blowing right through the vent where it’s hanging… I also have it level with my plants
And I know I’ve read a lot of different things about them the past year I’ve been getting into this but it seems more times than not they work at least to deal with the heat in the tent I’m not talking about growing the buds bigger I’m not using it because of that I’m just using it because they said if you have high heat or humidity levels you should get one so the plants can breathe better in that high heat

Co2 wont help. At least in your setup. Co2 really doesnt help until flower and its doesnt help anything unless your ppfd is over 1200. Very very few folks in here use CO2

Do you know anything I could do for the high temperatures? It’s just a few hours in the afternoon when it gets real hot that’s when I seem to not be able to control it

I really don’t know if they’re any use unless you are running very high intensity lights. Temps in the 80s are just fine, plenty of weed gets grown outdoors in the 90s. High humidity is fine for young’uns like yours.
I keep my tent under 88 during lights on (which I run at night when it’s cooler, and their “night” is during the daytime), and it’s around 75 during lights out. I recently added a dehumidifier - a little one - b/c my two are in flower now and one of them is a strain that is somewhat prone to mold.

Are you in a tent?

Yes they’re in a tent and the tent is in the patio it’s enclosed with normal fans on the ceiling but it gets pretty hot out there… I work from home and I’m always home and I’m always around them… But for reasons I just cannot have them inside of the house… I’ve actually at points hit 90° when that happens I freeze a jug of water and take it out of the freezer and put it in front of the fan it cools down the tent a couple degrees

That’s perfect. They should be growing happily along. If you are going to train them at all, you may want to start making your plans.

Plants look great! No need to stress a couple discolored leaves. Plants are standing up and praying to the light looking healthy and vigorous. One more week and you won’t believe how fast they grow.
Autos can be very fussy and difficult to grow.

I will look at that and look at the price not that bad if that could fix at least half of my issue with the temperature that would be amazing I’m going to check that out thank you

Yes, I do. I think low stress training is best for autos. I usually do it at around 3 weeks, but I have done as early as 12 days.
Though there’s certainly nothing wrong with letting them grow naturally, I’m thinking of giving that a try in my next grow.
Oh and happy 4th to you too1

I think they look good and healthy!
@Lalosalamaca plants look b-e-a-utiful bro, I’d stay your course and only worry if you start to see either dark, waxy leaves or if you see your leaves color start to become lime green/yellow. On my first grow I posted a pic of almost the exact same thing, and nothing ever came of it. For bugs I try to completely avoid getting any on the plants themselves, kind of like you seem to be doing. I have sticky traps on either side of my floor vents and by the crack in my doorway, as well as on either sides of my tent where any bugs might be able to get in. Also high heat is a doozy to fight without simply turning up your AC, for humidity until you can invest in a controllable dehumidifier you can TRY a bowl of rock salt to try to absorb some of the moisture in the air. Haven’t personally tried this, so I can’t say for sure exactly how well it works. Also say hi to Hector for me lol
Edit: another note, that people have already mentioned, is that autoflowers are very unpredictable, so try to avoid any type of stress. It’s hard to let your plant sit with obvious problems, but it’s better to see if it will pull through on its own then to experiment and end up with a Hermie plant

Can you aim a fan at the light and raise speed of your exhaust fan? I put fan at 8 during lights on and it comes back to 5 at lights out.
The easiest way to control temperature in the summer is to switch your day/night hours. My plants “daytime” runs from 7 PM to 7 AM. Lights go out at 7 AM, and they are “sleeping” at the hottest part of the day.
I put the dehumidifier in there to run during their “night” because humidity really rises when the lights are off. The plants are transpiring water vapor, plus my autopots create a little pool for them to sit in, so the pots are never dry. That adds to the evaporation/humidity issue.
A wise old wizard on here told me to run my autos with a 6 on, two off schedule throughout the day/night, so they get some “cool off” time between each short “day”. That what I did with this grow, which is one photo one auto, but had to switch to 12/12 when I wanted to photo to flower.
