IMAG0730.jpgIMAG0757.jpgIMAG0762.jpgIMAG0759.jpgIMAG0763.jpgHi,To set the scene for you, im a first time grower this is my first grow, my knowledge is completely minimal and my setup and advice comes from a friend,basically i am growing blueberry cheese indoors within a grow tent in my house, im coming into my 6th week of flowering with a estimated 4 weeks to go untill harvest. And things, well..... have been going pretty well i have been guilty of nute burn a couple of times but i layed off on the nutrients used a bit more water and this has cleared up each time, my plants are healthy in a comftable enviroment and everything is going well....Then yesterday it got interesting....To cut a long story short basically my grow tent is in the back room of my house and even with a carbon filter the smell is reaching my kitchen and also i am having my boiler serviced in early january so i didnt want tradesmen seeing my tent so i decided to board up the loft and move my tent upstairs, a ball ache but the plants were out the tent for no longer than 10-15 minutes. The climate in my loft however in a english winter is far different than a room in my house powered off central heating, so i decided to put a small portable fan heater in there, on a timer coming on and off every half an hour through the night so my plants didnt get a sudden climate change at night, the next morning i find the two plants closest to the heater have shrivelled and dried out what a fool!!! however the buds and top of the plant although damaged seem ok, and 24hours on the plants are still standing, what do i do now?? are they savable, will the buds still grow even though all the fan leaves have died? what sort of damage have i done?? im after some realistic advice of anyone who has maybe done anything similar or knows what the plants may do next, these two were my strongest two plants unfortunately im so fucked off.I have put a pic of my tent three weeks ago when everything was healthy and the condition that they are in today.Please help!! advice needed

They should survive. It will probably effect your yield though.

Your lucky you didn't burn your place down though. Since when is it ok to put a heater (that's probably 1000watts) in a small little tent? Then let it run on a timer, without monitoring it!

Place your heater in your room that the tent is in. Any heater should be at least 3-4 ft from any combustable material (always)! So inside your tent won't work.

give those plants more water, try to get them un-crispy. they should be salvageable, with a bit of special care. and get that heater away! experiment with different times, seeing which one keeps the entire attic as warm as you want.
