Question on My Wilted Plants!

Yesterday I Purchased a 400w HPS and Set it up (Switched From 125w CFL) and Later that Night at 9pm The Lights came on, I Went and checked on them today at 10-11am and The Temp was like 120 and My Plants Were wilted and Super Dry... They are still completely green so There Might Be Enough Nutes left in the Plant to bring it back to life... I figured Because of the drastically Raised temperature it soaked up water way faster and Wilted due to lack of water, so I put them in my bath tub in about 2inches of water and I'm Letting them Soak up water from the bottom... My Question is What Are My Chances on Bringing them Back to Life? There all About 1ft tall and 6 weeks old (From Clone) and Otherwise Super Healthy Plants.

just water it and drop the temps should be fine if its not fried an the leafs are still green. hps will dry your soil out much quicker maby its time for a repot

I would say get that damn HPS away from the plants. like at least twenty inches above the top of the plant and have adequate ventilation like a fan blowing air into the room and out somewhere else.



at least till they decide to grow again.


HPS can fuck your shit up if its too close. A friend of mine has a 150 watt hps bulb at about 15 to 20 inches above his plants because they simply get too hot.

Yeah I Just Repotted 2 days ago from 1.4L to like just under a gallon pots... and Should I water them with nutes right now, Or straight water until they perk up again?

Sometimes when your soil dries out too much they won't soak up water from the bottom because of how dense the soil will get when deprived water,you might want to let them sit in water and water around the inside edge of the medium. If you water correctly and don't drop the temp too much your plants will come back,do it right and your chances are good. I wouldn't fertalize till they're getting water again and you know they won't get overnuted,also check your ph and keep your RH between 45-55. Oregon The Chronic State.
