Heat Stress: Will they recover?

Just got a thermometer the other day and found out that my seedlings have been living between 80F and 90F for almost two weeks. 4 of the 11 are doing okay, the others look very, very stunted. I'm going to move them to a cooler location tomorrow and see if that helps at all. Are they going to recover and get back on track or am I going to be stuck with stunted plants for the whole grow? Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I had this happen to me a few times when I first started and always had mixed results... most of my babies would recover and become beautiful plants, but I also had some that never recovered and ended up only producing about a 1/2 oz of one plant. Im guessing your talking about seeds also?

Yeah, grew from seeds in a chamer that just didn't have enough ventilation I guess. Doesn't really feel that hot in there, but the plants are definately small for being nearly two weeks old. Pics are posted in my journal. The most recent pics are of the ones that are doing the best. The older pics show the others, which aren't looking good but are showing their vigor with new leaves barely showing. I'll update with more pics either today or tomorrow. I'm hoping they recover. I'm probably just going to sacrifice a smaller harvest for my first grow and just try and get some mothers so I don't have to waste time/money vegging and flowering males. I'm really hoping the four healthiest will be females.
