Sprouts in Trouble..High Temps

Horrifying, my thermostat broke on my heater and my grow room shot up to 109f, for about 1-2 hours. half the sprouts were leaning over. I killed the heater, put the fan on high, got the temps back to normal. The tipped over sprouts I propped back up and gave everyone a spray.


Are my plants dead yet or can I save them?

Please put my mind at ease.

it depend how long u were @ 40. but that is way to high. All the new growth will b fucked. u need to cut the new growth. start again. and keep temp under 28 now. they r haverly shocked.

they might not be toasted yet and I wouldnt' call it a day for them. Prop them up and give them a week or so at normal conditions before you make any judgments. I fuc#ed up when watering one of my seedlings and accidently poored right on top of the plant. The little one fell right over to it's side from the force of water and even had a good size split in the base of the stem. I propped it up by tieing some string to the center of the stem and tieing the other end to a de-leaded pencil inserted in the soil away from the plant. The plant was obviously stressed but after a few weeks it came right back and now is actually the healthiest looking of the bunch. Good luck!

they are back to standing on their own, can anyone give me tips for how often to water sprouts in those tiny seed starting peat pots?

Don't over soak, they should feel like a damp sponge.
