They will live through it.
In veg. It is no big thing as you can grow them past it.
In Bloom, depending on exactly where you are. You will get some yield loss of varying degree.

Yeah they'll "survive". Even from seedling. So hoe strong of a light did you throw them under? That's always good to know.

A pic is best ...
total light bleaching is a myth
understand the canna plant can take a shit load of light
more so with the autos too
before any serious issues crop up
but 'heat' and poor venting thats another issue
pic please

I dunno about that vostok, it might not be the light but the radiation that a hid hives off because no matter how cool the canopy is, the closer the light gets the more chance you'll get light bleaching. I keep my canopy at 75 and just got a slight case of bleaching (white tips and leaves) not from the heat or ventilation but from the light intensity itself. Mind you I run a 1000w air-cooled light and was at 14" above the canopy and still have 3 bud tips bleached. No biggie really, but it happens. I moved it to 16" and things seem good now. Installed a new bulb and didn't compensate.

I've bleached my tops with every HID wattage I own. 400/600/1KW

It's no myth.

OP - raise your light, things will be fine. They will slowly transition back to green (at least mine did from what I remember, it's been a long time since I've done it).
