im needing some help here, i woke up today and checked on my girls and i open my grow cab. and i see my whole grow wilted. so i go into panic mode. start checking everything under the sun. and realize that my temp. is at 104f
so i8 grabbed an extra fan and pointed it towards the lights to cool them off and vented with the door open. about ten min. and the temp is down to 80f
but now im left with six plants that look like death. ill try and explain what they look like cause there sleeping.

3x3x5' steel cab.
12 warm white cfl
ebb and flow
age old organic bloom 5 10 5 (1-2 oz per gal. recommended)
im running at 3 oz to 4 gal. 5 mills.superthrive , 1/8 tea. epsom salts
ventilation: one 5inch desk fan pushing out. vents into a peace of carbon furnace filter cut down. and a 8 inch desk top fan at plant level

nothing you can do for already damaged plants but hope. weed is pretty hardy though, i hope they're not all dead. you should post pics when they wake up. sorry mate.

well this is what i did to correct the problem (hopefully)
first i trimmed the bottom growth of wilted leaves and branches, cleaned my entire hydro-system, then started a flush with plane water and 2.5 mil of super thrive. placed an additional fan to drop temp. i flushed for 4 hours with just the water and super thrive and adjusted ph ( i think i forgot to add that up top) then added 5 tbls of organa-guano replaced my analog temp-hydrometeor gauge with a dig.
the plants began to respond well to the treatment, wilted leaves and branches be came more rigid and started to look like a healthy plant again.
today I'll install some whip feeder lines to water from the top of the pot.
