Help!! Grow room got too hot Plants wilting/ turning slightly brown!!!!!

While my friend was away I stopped in to check up on 2 deep water culture plants in a closet, being dumb I closed the curtain in front of the closet keeping any air from circulating!! When my friend got back it was 97 degrees in there and stifling.. Plant on the right is nearly fiine but the one on the left is not quitE coming back.. They've been cooled off for a little more than a day now anything that I can do to fox this? I feel terrible.

They're almost a week and a half into flowering and the left one is wilted and browning.. Anything that will help besides keeping them from getting hot again?

It's only browning slightly though besides that it's a healthy green

got pictures

Not right now, lights off for the night I'll try tomorrow

u need your tempture round 85 not 97 they got heat strees

Yeah I know it got too hot and it's cooled back down now but is there anything I can do to help them more?

Make sure that your water temperature is nice and cool. At temps that high I would almost be more concerned with the water temps than the air. I've seen warm water kill almost overnight in a DWC bucket.

Okay I'll check it out, thanks

HELP. I tried using a humidifier and the temp got to over 110 for a minute, not more than a minute, but a minute. And now my 2 in a half week old plants are wilting. Is there anything I can do to save them?

This thread is from 2010.....Think the OP will come back to be sure he can save this long gone grow????

ROTFL!!

I suggest you start your OWN thread and tell us what way your growing and any other info in THAT thread!

With the closet door being open has this allowed proper circulation in the past? Have you been around 75-80 degrees consistently? I'm confused why the humidifier would increase temps. Usually higher humidity levels results in lower and cooler temps. You aren't foliage spraying under the lights either right?

The Vicks humidifier was, putting out hot humidity steam, while they were under lights. This is the only thing that has gone wrong. Yes I have been at around 74-80 temp consistently. I spray the plants, then turn off the lights for 15 minutes then turn the light back on and spray again.

What kind of lights are you running with? Have you considered a vented cool tube?

Sorry computer froze problem. Anyways I am not sure what to think. I do not use a cool vented tube, I am using a cfl 85 watt 5000k, and I switch from that to a led grow light that has the 440 and 660 or 640 or what ever you call it, and that is about 30 watts. I took out and threw away the cotton candy from delicious seeds, it showed no signs of life, all leaves except one wilted, and the one that was did not wilted was fried it seemed, and crunchy so I trashed her, but before I did, I looked at the roots, and they were still white, they were not brown or anything, and there were a lot of roots, like getting to the cup sides on all sides, and down to half the cup. These are drinking cups standard size for kids parties with holes in the bottom plastic and I think BPA FREE. The other one that I am not complete sure about is the other plant. And that is the Northern Light Blue from delicious seeds, she is confusing me.

Before this bad thing, happened, both plants were doing perfect, their leaves were always reaching up more up than sideways, and getting bigger and bigger, and now the only plant that is left seems to be doing ok, but I do not know. It seems that as the days go by that she is a little crunchy on the top leaves, and a little black on the tips of the one inch long leafs. I switched her to a dwc. And her roots still look white. I kept her on the same nutrients, which is miracle grow, advanced nutrients a and b with ph perfect, and some water I do admit is tap water, the rest distilled and bubble for co2. I used rubbing alcohol, for whipping the scissors before I cut just barely at the tips of some of the leaves to get off some black, and some crunchy, just like you do to clones I cut the leaves but unlike with clones, I barely cut them. I took some pictures. I am using as a foliage and with the nutrients advanced nutrients revive. Oh and I used a 600 watt metal halide a little here and there. I keep the lights on 24 hours a day, except every once in a while where I turn them off for an hour or two. Any help is appreciated, what should I do?

Oh and I use, a magnet to sit by the stem wrapped in waterproof plastic. I heard somewhere that magnets help plants grow.

Doesn't the magnet have to hang exactly 6 inches above the plant to work?


and.... was this thread hijacked?

I didn't mean to hijack it. If I did, and if that bothers anyone, then please believe me that I did not do it on purpose and please forgive me.

I just thought that I could resurrect this page and bring it back to life and combine it all in a thread that already existed, so that if someone was searching google with keywords "rollitup and too hot wilted help", that this way they do not get overwhelmed by to many results to go through and to compare with each other, this was just my way of being part of the solution to make the internet a little less crowded and over saturated.

I never heard that, about the magnet thing. All I heard was that if you put a magnet next to the plant on the stem it should help. This was from a friend, and who knows if it is correct. Where did you hear, about the hanging part?

??

Strange thread here.

Nothern Light Blue is, still stunted.
