keeping plants cool in hot climates: misting

[newanimal]

I plan to start some outdoor grows where the summers well exceed 90 degrees. Any advice on the best misting system to keep plants in the desired range. Will a standard patio mister work or is a higher pressure(1000 psi copper) system better. I assume this would produce a finer mist. thanks!

I am growing in those temps with low humidity. I am not planning on misting.

Just water more....no need for a mister....I'm 103' today....105' yesterday....just water early AM....

let mother nature take care of her... Assuming genetics is not a factor, plants seem to be able to absorb more light at higher temps, perhaps up to 90 degrees.

Kelp meal in the soil also helps protect plants in extream heat and cold temps.

I have Misters set up and use them regular...it raises the Humisity around the plants as well as a quik cool drink

It was 100 here yesterday and I ended up just spraying them down with the hose. I don't know if they felt better, but I did. :~).
