Burnt Plants

My mate was looking after two of my plants for a while and the light fell onto them and burnt the poor little fuckers. With chronic heat stress/burning from the lights which were cfl's, will the plants recover quite quickly if i put them into a 400 watt hps room?
And does burning of the leaves affect the amount of bud?
 
hmmmmmm, I've burnt a top before, and while the plant did recover. It does take away from the yeild, as time & energy is wasted recovering. On the other side of the coin and what was interesting was that I burnt the very tip of a cola (had the light too close)....and when it healed itself, it grow 2 cola tips, one on each side of the burnt tip. These new tips grew to pass the burnt tip and continued to flower, but you'll never get back the time or the energy that was used healing itself. Not to mention you are stressing yr plant.
 
As always, good advice from videoman, just treat em with care and they'll recover in a little while.
 
Hello Mr. SHED dude, :)

picture please... I suspect the burns are NOTHING (will not efffect yield).. seeing that they came from CFL's...


YOU can actually touch a leaf to CFL and only the part that is touching the LIGHT will burn.. the rest of the leaf will be fine...

You are actually better off burning a small portion of a leaf with a CFL than keeping the light 4+ inches from the plant... cost/benifit ratio.. :)

I agree with knowm. I have burnt the tips of leaves on a couple of my plants but overall they are growing very strong. I have even burnt a leaf or 2 that fell out eventually but I see no other adverse effects. I am still in veg mode.
