Acclimatizing the Herb

I have intense growing conditions. 110f in the canopy under direct light, 100f in the shade, 90f at soil level, ambient conditions are 80f.

I am growing a durban skunk, and she has been taking the heat for the most part. She drinks a lot, but hasn't gotten scorched really. She is finishing up the bloom though and her leaves are all curling in in an attempt to reduce heat. I moved the light up, but I don't want to move it too high or the lumens will be reduced.

I am also breeding this girl to a seed of the same kind, another skunkmans SADP x S1.

Now I don't foresee lower ambient temperatures for a bit, so I am considering trying to breed this strain for heat tolerance of the highest order :)

Is this a viable goal? After several generations will the plant be climatized to these harsh conditions? The original parent isn't even doing too badly under this insane heat, but I would like less signs of stress.

If this is a doable goal, can anyone estimate the number of generations before it was selected for this heat level?

With acclimation the key is large numbers more than lots of filial generations especially in the f2 and f3 generations. I don't have experience with this strain you're using however dutch durbans and skunk 1 have been very inbred to acclimate them to indoor and cool outdoor climates so it may prove to be quite difcult.
