it will be ok, just get the temp down and in a few hours she'll perk back up....try not to get the temp up like that again, you could stress them and make them hermi......good luck.....
 
If anyone could answer a ? for me I'm new to the growing thing and was wondering about the lights I want to keep the CFL'S but i'm running out of room would it be easier to put a different light in and what should i use what type and wattage for a 2' wide 3' long and 3' tall or do i have to just use more cfl's I currently have around 15 all soft white ???
 
i would get as many 2700 k cfls in there as u can ...make sure u have side lighting . i read on here you will get nicer firm buds. cfls are ok to have a couple inches away
 
Here are sum pics please b gentle !! LOL If any of them look like female please tell me its only been 6 days 12/12 I took the first pic out of the bunch already

Well I pulled out 2 more male's so thats 3 out of 9 and I have 2 def. female's so i'm hoping at least half but its not looking good at all at least i got 2 hope they stay female !!!
 
wow dude. im seriously impressed with your results... not too shabby at all. they are all and all looking good for plants that were grown strictly with cfl. you should get some 2 foot flourescent lamps & the 24 watt cool white bulbs. they also have them in special spectrum specificaly designed for growing. thats what i have set up in my "Grow Cabinet" which i set up this afternoon after germinating 20 seeds. ill have pictures up soon (especially when i get them seeds planted)
 
Those are some nice plants! If you're looking for a light go for a HPS, they're relatively cheap and it will do wonders for the flowering stage.
 
Thanks for the reply's everyone and thanks for sayin how good they look here is some pics as promised I still have the male's in a different part of the house going to let them get big here is sum pics of them to and thanks again for the help and support on this grow !!!

hey are you growing in hydroton without a hydroponics setup?

Yes I have the hydroton on the top to keep the moisture in ur talkin about the clay pellets right ? I took sum clone's from the one the other day and they are doing great got sum pics to post !! in a few minute's thanks for checking out my grow
 
I decided to take sum clone's off from the one so i took 6 from her monday morning I sterilized everything with rubbing alcohol and flamed the razor blade b4 I sterilized it to get the oils off from it, then I got my area ready with my water for letting them sit in for around 5 minutes just to soften them up a little but they were all young growth so really didn't need to sit in it as long , But I recommend using sum surgical gloves so u don't contaminate anything !! put ur rooting powder , gel whatever you use I like the powder have used on other plants is why but put enough in a small container so you don't contaminate the whole jar , and take ur clone's thats about it !! They have been in the dome since monday morning and they haven't drooped or even started to change color at all and it looks like they are starting to grow a bit hard to tell But here's sum pics I was worried to take them but there doing great !! Tell me what ya think PLEASE !!! I need the feedback !!! Thanks for looking !!!

:clap: this light setup looks like an idea for me to try out but instead of using fixed fixtures use rope to adjust the lights from the board. less movement means for my clumsy ass fewer drops, less money and more happy vibes. also what is a good humidity level for a seven day old sprout? thinking 80-85? but my sprout is looking on par with the seven day old pics youve got up.

Yes higher the humidity is better when there young throughout my whole grow i only had around 35% to 50% and they did great you mainly have to watch out for your ph level that is absolutely the number one thing to watch are you using soil ? There's a lot more room for error when you use soil more forgiving I should say !!! And as far as the lights keep them close as you can or you will have sum tall lanky plants !!! But anyways the sockets I found at lowe's are twist sockets I'll get a pick they are great no stripping wire at all just twist and done !! they work great !!! And thanks for looking at my grow !!! Oh yeah are your's clone's or from seed the one's you saw of mine are clone's I took monday mornin
