In the hottest part of our summers, my greenhouse can get up in the mid to high 90's for several weeks in a row. Outside temps. get in the 110-117 range. From what I've read on the different forums, people say they tend to start declining at temps in the high 80's. But, of course, that may also mean they're drying out too much, etc.

Mid to high 90's for several weeks is not that bad. 110 is pretty hot though!
Keep them wet and I bet they will do fine. Most of the declining at temps in the mid 80's you read about are with small seedlings right out of flask. Once the plants are established with active roots it's not a problem. I got my first flask of kovachii in August and our temps here inside ran up into the 90's at times and never really got much below 70 at night and the seedlings grew fine, but again we kept them wet and humid. Also a lot of the problem plants were not good quality plants to start with and would have died at any temperature.
