If you are saying that you poured boiling water over your plants, then yes I'd say that they are surely dead.

I'm new to all this, but boiling water I think is a sure way to kill or destroy most natural elements. If however you were a little tactical about it, you may be lucky. I wouldn't hold my breath though. Good luck non the less.

i would say they could easily die from the boiling water ( future refrence do not do that ) but try to save them why would you assume they are dead and procede to kill them with hot water? bit odd mate

get em ou of the pots quick, and no more boiling water. RE-POT, would be a good idea and fast. Imagine ER or A&E, time is important. I don't know if coldish water will shock them even more... Or luke warm then a little colder...Get the idea, but check with someone else first ?

If I were you, I would just start over from scratch. Take things slowly & don't panic. Just remember to not over water & you should also keep a hot shot flying pest strip in your grow area. It's the best $8 I spend every 3 months to keep 1 in my grow area.

Get yourself through 1 successful grow before you start experimenting with other methods. Do a basic grow without topping or lst'ing your plant. Get acquainted with Mary. Next time before you do anything drastic, make a thread here & then let people shine some light in on what should be done. Don't fuck around & make a situation worse for yourself before you ask for help. :peace:

Been a day and the plants are still alive, the leaves that touch hot water had died off but the majority is still green is it dead yet?
