Minus 18 degrees here, had a pipe burst in the bathroom next to my grow room. Which in turn flooded my grow room. So I have my landlord, a plumber and all sorts of people coming to fix the mess. I tore my grow down like the cops were coming and moved it to a buddys house. Tried covering my plants with bags to and from the truck to help with the cold. They just showed white pistils yesterday, now obviously in shock from the move, all of them are droopy and sad looking. It's a damn shame I tell ya, a damn shame. Anyone have any thoughts on how they will recover? Oh yeah did I mention, fffuuuuuuccckkk?

Had a similar situation once, removed from grow room and hid them in a closet fro maybe abt 1/2 hr., when I took them out they were all drooping and they looked like yours do, they eventually recovered. amazing how much they can take and recover....don't loose faith my friend.

Yeah, thanks for the words of encouragement guys. My head was spinning last night. I went by and checked on them on my way to work this morning, they look to be ok ish, Hoping by tonight they've come around and continued to flower.

Ive had similar experiences in cold weather as well. Things turned out well in the end. I hope everything will go good for you + rep
 
Fucking bummer, dude. But yeah, seems like these plants can take quite a fucking beating before throwing in the towel, so you should be alright. If the room got flooded, that means they got watered a lot, right? Maybe let em dry out for a bit, then they won't be so droopy. Also, check the PH of your medium, because that water might be harmful.

sucks

next time leave the water on all your taps dripping when it is that cold, leave the cabinets under the sinks open too

ask your landlord to install a pipe warmer


our water just shut off, was going to call and bitch and noticed three water trucks outside

The last time this happened my tap ppms went from 160 to 100

lol floods are always bad. I pulled up to the grow house one day and i saw fucking blue pigs everywhere. previously, i flooded the basement by accident, and the water seeped into the water in the unit adjacent to mine. i guess the landlord came in unannounced for emergency maintenance and found out what i was doing. got away because of my fake alias.. anyways, your plants are fine, i've moved mine so many times in uhauls, suvs, and in the trunk of my coupe before nothing happened. just give em a week to recover

a similar thing happened to me a few years back, i ended up putting my plants in my jeep wrangler soft top during winter, they were there for about 8 hours, or more, it was really bad, like the plants were almost frozen, it took weeks for them to come back to life but they still did, but IMO they would have been better scrapped, it happens, best of luck

My pots didn't get flooded, so I'm good there. But the real kicker is my pipes had heat tape on them. The tape just simply failed, there was ice on it. Oh well, we'll see how it goes from here.
