How much of the big bloom are you using and how often?
I agree watering is a huge problem here; not to mention those temps have GOT to get down....... you have a temp meter in there? how do you know it's that hot in there?

Why are you watering her so much is it dry the next day or something? she is root bound; she needs a bigger pot...... you want 1 gallon size pot for every 12 in MINIMUM.

How is your grow room setup? If I think it's a closet like I see it is then you are going to have to have the heat channeled out of the room somehow... fans will help but not bring it down in the temps they need to be.

you either vent out of there into somewhere else or get an air conditioner if you have a window.. if not you will have to make a prop and get a drip pan to collect the water.
It's a pain when you have hot temps like that..... if you can't get them down you are going to keep having this issue...

For one the plant is using a little more water if the humidity is staying in the 30's and the plant is root bound needs a bigger pot. Bigger pot you will not need to water every other day.

Where is your grow room at? Closet in a room? you live in a house?

What wattage is your hps?

I had a booth closet grow and I had to vent into the water heater compartment and underneath our mobile home.. I Was growing in one long time ago and that was the only way we could get the temps down below 80's

WE took a dryer vent hose and hooked it up to a fan and sucked out the hot air.... negative air pressure is the only way I have grown by venting out the hot air into a different room but the fan was also hooked up into a carbon scrubber so no smell would get out while the air was being sucked out of the room.

If you like taje a picture of the area of your grow and I can see any ideas I may get or other people will get and help you out and see what we can get done.

They are going to curl somewhat still with those temps.. but how much bloom are you using now? and how big are they now with what size pot? You are having to water more often from those temps... there is no way you are going to get in the proper temps...... you will either have to take a decrease in yield or get some fluros and flower with those.....
