Am I fucked here? had 3 hrs of extra light and heat stress...pics

PC Grow, 125w warm cfl with 10% cool support.

This was a first attempt with Fem. The Church. 12/12 from seed and LST'd a month in.

On 12/30, I left the duty of turning the case off to another...and it was fail. She turned off the PSU to the fans, leaving the lights on. The cooltube upper portion was a cool 115F and the lower chamber a lovely 95F. I got home 3:15 after the lights should have been out. These pics suck, as does the iPod touch camera. I was noticing some balls on these the last time I checked about a week ago. But they all were showing hairs, so I didn't think much of it. Has this been stressed male? I swear this is pollen on the plate and top of my soil.

This was the main cola, since LST'd and way off the side now.

Pollen and death?

The worst part of all is that right next to it is a strong and sturdy Fem. UFO Motavation ;/ Is she fucked as well?

I am meandering a bit here as I fear I've wasted my time ;/

I did a 12/12 from seed grow and a few nights I had to leave the lights on or off for a few hours longer than necessary. No ill outcome. If its a one time thing I think you're ok. Don't make a habit of it.

I don't think in 3 hours your plant could stress into a hermi and start dropping pollen all over the place, more likely as stated above is that the green dust is some other pollutant (algae, mold, etc) which is still bad but I don't think your plants are fucked.

Wow, I am still really surprised that this is ok...I am going to try to take a few better pictures and see what you guys think.

Thanks so much for the prompt feedback.

Still looking good? Those have a bit more detail of my fears. It's hard to imagine mold in the case, the humidity is frighteningly low at this point, barely cracking 25% on any day. Low, but I can't do much for another few weeks.

It has fresh air coming in from the bottom 24/7 with exhaust out of the top.

That plant is a dude....( or hermie ) those lil' bananas are pollen sacks....get it outta' there if you don't want your other plant full of seeds. I would remove your fem to a safe zone and clean your grow area too to prevent any further pollination of your fem.
 
Definately hermaphrodite, sorry to see that dude.
I had a feeling that I wouldn't get off that easily. I hope it was the stress and not Attitude giving me lame Church seeds.

Both plants are still in the case as it's lights out time. Should I wait until the morning to remove the baby?

As long as the nutsacks don't open, you're good. It'll be obvious, but at the same time, if they open, it's already too late. Did you use Feminized seeds? If so, I heard they have unstable genetics are are more likely to hermie late in growth than regular seeds. Considering you're growing church, i'm guessing it was femmed since Greenhouse fems most of their seeds. They're great at selling seeds and making money, but I don't think they give a damn about the customer. Wasn't Attitude's fault, just happens sometimes with femmed seeds, especially if they get stressed. Keep your chin up!

P.S.-Upon closer inspection, that DOES look like pollen on your plate, and you might be fucked. But worst comes to worst, you just made your own seeds. It'll be ok, dude. There's always next grow!

I am using a single case and really didn't have time for a seed crop so I had to do a little murderin' this morning to spare my youngster. It sucks eating a $15 seed but I am more thankful for having all of you to bounce my noobness off of. So if I've learned anything beyond the obvious; that's it ;p

I am off to get me a ghetto bottle of bleach. I am glad I waited that extra week to pop the 2nd seed, or my youngster would be well within the danger zone already.
 
Anyone have suggestions for a bleach to water ratio? I have a little spray bottle that fine mists. I guess Ill be cleaning the entire case with a mist and wipe, light and all. This should be a boatload of fucking fun.

Any tips and a ratio suggestion would be greatly appreciated :D

I would guess 10/1??
 
I used about 1 tsp in 8oz (half of a poland spring bottle with a screw on spray nozzle). I turned my fans on and sprayed/wiped down all of the reachable areas. I then sprayed a fine mist around the bulb (not socket/ballast) and fans; I closed the case to promote faster drying.

I just need some good luck for this next baby to not grow a sack! That was 1 of my 2 Church seeds ;/ This surviving one is a UFO Motavation Fem. I only 2 left ;/ 1 more Church and 1 Kushberry...both fem.
