Thanks again everyone. Day one of new conditions I was able to keep it 81 degree max. Still working on figuring out how to be sure it doesn't exceed that.
I moved my whole grow shelf away from the window, put up one of those blackout curtains that helps keep the room cool.

Heli, can you share ideas for automated cooling? I only have one highland so something less than an ac unit would be ideal haha.

I have kept it at or below 80 since this post. Minimum 60% humidity. Night temps around 55 give or take a few degrees. It's only been 12 days but this is what it looks like today. I am hoping that newest leaf will stay healthy. I have Maxsea to feed it if I can get a pitcher.

Oh yeah, tons better for only a month! Hey, grab some been neem and a spray bottle - works wonders for killing pests and is completely safe for the plants.

Thanks! I'm really happy.
I have neem. I did a combo of neem and bayer 3 in 1. I also submerged it fully in water for 15 minutes. Drowns mites doesn't harm plant, win win.

Nice, it's looking real good! Just make sure it gets enough light, good humidity/airflow and you'll be golden
