Water line sprung a leak that ran to my new water cooled CO2 generated. Went in the room and checked on em this morning and got hit in the chest with a stream of water. Needless to say most of my girls were laying on there sides soaking wet, along with half my electrical equipment the same way! Any suggestions on how to dry these out or what I can do. Im gunna pick up a dehumidifier today and Im running my AC on FREEZING:evil:

Well I dont think Cold is your best bet man. when ice or a cold liquid gets down in the crack of anything especially plants, it will then get warmer and then expand. Of Course set them back up straight. maybe with a little support and get some light on them girls.

Wow dude. What a disaster. I think a dehumidifier is your best bet. A/C also acts as a dehumidifier. W/O pics it's hard to say how your plants will do, but I've had more than one disaster and my plants always recover. Best of luck.

I cant get light on em cause my 12 hour dark period just came and thx for the info on the cold I thought maybe it would help with the humidity. And oh ya there 4 weeks into flower which is why it sucks ass so much. I tied em back up though

Ill have pics tonight when the lights come back on
Sorry to hear that.

If water is in the electrical - take the covers off - open everything up that may have water inside it.

Humidifier of course.

You may try running your heat for a little while, and then switch to A/C

Be careful not to electrocute yourself.

Thanks for the help everyone, I cleaned out all the electrical and everything is running and no problems yet. Humidity is about 70 percent still but was at 90 this morning right before the lights went out. The girls that were laying on there side are back up and tied up doing ok suprisingly! Literally the containers were standing straight up (not knocked over at ALL) but the girls were so wet and top heavy they just folded over! I am a bit worried about root damage. For them to fall like that it had to break some roots, but now most almost stand up on there own even before they got tied up. Heres a few pics

What a difference a day makes huh? Your plants look great!!! If you had not told me about your disaster I would never know. I wouldn't worry about root damage. Let them dry out a little before the next watering and I think they'll be fine. Roots are like the rest of the plant: they have amazing ability to recover from damage. Good luck my friend.
