raise one light and turn one off. Don't trim anything. Let the upper leaves that are dead dry and fall off on their own like a sunburn. They will trim themselves. Use low light and watch for anything dieing/rotting at or below a node trim it off. Flouresents for couple days if they are small would be best.

let them stay in darkness for about 24 hours day interruption for you to go in and check them is ok . you should treat them like babys you have to renourish again.

keep moist and cool like African Violet style for 10 days or 14 no mold like they are clones. You have to baby them.

You will know when they are ok when they started showing new green growth.

then you can clap your hands .

sounds like you also need to solve your temp issue to avoid a recurrence. first thing you need is a wireless or outdoor type thermometer, so you can check the temp, even with the door closed. I have a wireless one with a hygrometer and memory as well. also it sounds like your cheap vent fan, hooked to the A/C duct is only for intake, but there's no exhaust. The trick is to suck all the extra heat out. I also have a pair of 400w in a closet, and they're both in homemade cool-tubes, being exhausted by a single 450cfm Vortex blower. then the exhaust hose from that has been routed alongside my A/C duct, by turning A/C duct & pushing it over to one side, so the exhaust hose blows out into the attic, and then just for my personal comfort, I put and extra length of hose running from the actual AC/Heater duct, to the side wall of the room, just a few feet behind my recliner. Then I run my light-cycle ON at night, but OFF during the hot afternoons, and I like to crack the door open for awhile each night the let it pull more air in, as a passive intake. Also I use 3 digital timers, one for each light, and another for the blower, so that the lights are programmed to take separate cool-down breaks, for half an hour, after each 4 hours ON.

my home-made cool-tubes

Post by Munchy »

the 1st step to making my cool tubes,
was to order these from ebay for around $12 each:

then cut and bend some plumbers tape into funny shapes, like so:

then bend up a piece of steel duct for the reflector:

& viola!

btw, that's just my little 250cfm Vortex,
which I use for my single 400w MH in the veg shower...
