They look great. Those topped plants are taking off faster than I'm use to seeing, good job. The LST plants should start taking off real soon.

:( ....but they were looking great. Not at all salvageable? That's rough. I also learned the hard way to never trust anyone - lost an entire 50 plant 3kW grow due to my "partner" being too lazy to bother to water.

You can save em man. MJ is pretty resilient!
They have all been thrown out of the pots upside down into a black plastic bag on top of each other.I have had to find each 1 and replant them all. They are all covered in tiny bits of soil which I can't get off without soaking them and don't wanna do that yet. I've give them a medium watering and sprayed the leaves with rhizotonic. Some leaves were lost and some stems were snapped.I've taped them all up so let's hope they pull through

the plants are slightly better than yesterday and i think they`ll all be fine in a week or 2.pics at end of post but for now i have a new problem?? wasnt getting enough of a temp drop as its only the start of the summer so i went out and replaced my 4" filter,fan and ducting set with a 6" rhino filter,ducting and 6" rvk extractor. heres the setup IMAG0143.jpg and yes they are the hopefully recovering plants but better pics at end. i have put the 4" Vents TT inline extract fan inside the tent with ducting running through the intake sleeve sucking air into the tent.i have a 6" clip on aimed at top of canopy and a 7" oscolating fan aimed high in tent circulating the air. when i completed the setup and knocked the 6"rvk on the tent balloon`d straight up??? had to knock every fan off apart from rvk which i have blowing through the air cooler instead of sucking which i had the other fan doing previously. even with only the filter/fan on in tent i still cant close my tent up as it also balloons. i am just using the bottom flap as passive intake with the same problem. anyone got any ideas?? help plse??? heres the pics of plants IMAG0144.jpgIMAG0145.jpgIMAG0146.jpgIMAG0147.jpg and heres a few parts of the plant i think are dead,are they??...IMAG0149.jpg lol heres the last plantIMAG0148.jpg

Wait....you're blowing air into your tent? I hate to break it to you but the name of the game is negative pressure - you have it backwards. Pull through your filter, push through your light, and out of the tent. Passive intake is all you need and the tent should pull inward, not balloon outward. You could also suck through the filter and light and then the fan, or suck through the light and then push through the filter (although this doesn't let you direct the air past the filter point)... Just make sure more air is being pushed or sucked out of the tent than is being pushed into it.

Those plants will definately recover :) Pot is very resiliant.

sorry m8 i must of put it wrong lol. i have the air sucking in throught the filter then throught the ducting through the fan which is blowing through the air cooler and out the ducting which i have going into another room

So the tent is being sucked inward? This generally isn't a problem but if it bothers you I'd suggest a dimmer extension cord or "fan speed controller". They are both essentially the same but one is sold at the hydro store and the other at walmart.

no m8 its still ballooning up??? outward??? im having to leave the tent zip open across all the top of tent which defeats the purpose of the tent lol??

You should really just need a single exhaust fan and then one circulatory fan. Your saying your intake fan is overpowering your exhaust fan? If so remove the intake fan.
