I messed up and tried using a grow light. Had it too close and the top leaves turned a pale dry green. One leaf was burnt just a little near the stem. I feel the heat dried out the leaves. It was time to water it today. Is there a chanse the leaves will absorb the water and turn that pretty green again ? I'm using 3 cfls. I was just experimenting with the grow light. Never again!!!! The plant is 6wks old 6 1/2" high and have 5 sets of nodes. The bottom and middle leaves are still looking good. The top leaves aren't brittle. Just dry and dull looking.
2 much heat

if all the leaves arent dead, and the stem is still standing. it could survive. but if only a few of the leaves are dried out, i would just clip them, they will not go pritty green again, or even green most likely.
i made a grow box once, with no circulation. and a grow bulb. i put in a foot tall plant, and the next morning, the plant was burnt to a crisp, all brown and crispy. it was so hot in the box, i could barely pick up the plant container, the soil was hot to the touch. ( i forgot to mention that this grow box, was an old mini fridge.) i thought i had made a good enought circulation device
