Honey, I burned the plant...

[homegrown82]

Synopsis: Healthy mature WW plant, growing in hydro, six weeks into flowering. For the 3 days prior to the incident the plants appeared to have stopped feeding. We were used to watering them at least every other day because of the amount of water and nutrients they were consuming. Also, they had been shedding leaves pretty regularly, but we assumed this was normal behavior for plants progressing through the flowering process.

As far as the lighting and heat go, we had to seriously baby sit the grow environment because it was getting so hot. When the light came on in the morning, it would get up to 100 degrees if we didn’t talk immediate action and open some doors, etc…

Problem: My GF left one morning and forgot to open the doors. The container was at 100 degrees for ~5 hours, and it literally fried all the remaining leaves (See pics below).

Question: What do we do? Most of the existing leaves are withered and curled. Will it grow more having only ~ 3 weeks left to flower and considering they were shedding leaves pretty good before this occurred? Should we just keep on keeping on with their current state for the remainder of the flowering period?

Thanks in advance

I would finish them up, it looks like there is some leaf left and it will recover, watch the temps in the future.

You've got tons of leaf left in there, and the stress might actuallly help the potency, so just have to ride it out.

A room that hits 100 is bad though, you should fix that. All kinds of bad things can happen - your plants won't grow well, soil problems, mold, slow growth, etc.. I live in an area where my little room does the same thing in summer. I simply don't grow, cause it's just not worth the hassle.
