Heat Burn but will they survive?

[iceygeoff]

So I planted a bunch of clones, and read that you could leave cfls as close as 4 inches to the clones and stupidly I did! Left them over night and pretty much all my clones have burned some of them not too bad but a couple of them pretty bad! Needless to say I pulled the lights to a safe distance. Not really had much experience with burns this bad! Can someone give me some advice as to whether the clones will make it or am I just wasting my time. This is pretty much the worst one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, should I trim off the burnt patches? Heavily water? Add anything to help them recover?

They will live. Your plants are still small so dont over nutrient them or give too much water. that soil already looks pretty wet. Let them dry out and give them some good light. and Keep those hot ass CLFs away from them

WTF kind of CFL are you using?
I got 5 bulbs all within a couple inches of mine, and no problem.
They'll be fine.
Just carry on, business as usual.
NO cutting, no babying.

Just wondering if I should trim off the burnt leaves? Would I be doing any harm by leaving them on? Or would they flourish better without the burnt leaves there? Thanks for your reassurance!

i will sometimes just trim off the very end that is burnt but leave the rest of the healthy leaf..

LOL.
Earlier today, when I went to turn my lights out, my plant had grown 2 leafs into the CFL and barely burned just the tips of a couple fingers.

i've burned a few plants by letting them get too close to a t5, i was shocked to say the least, but yah, even cfl's and t5's can burn plants if you get them too close for too long..
