everything was fine until...

...i left my girls in a uhual van for twelve hours in the middle of winter. i had no other option since i live in an apartment and they pulled this inspection shit on me. i put them in sealed boxes under a blanket for the entire dark cycle...i also delayed the weekly watering to make it easier since the temps were in the single digits. they looked fine when i brought them in but began to droop after a few hours. i watered and fertilized them the next day (they were four weeks into flower) and so far they look like they are gonna make it. they have not put much weight on since then but i expected that (its only been four days). the problem is that three of the nine plants have some yellow fans and are not bouncing back like the others.

could it be because of the fragile state they were in that maybe i should not have fed them so soon? i never had a problem with nute burn before but i suspect that it might be the issue. how long until they are back on track and whats this gonna do to my bottom line? they were so healthy and really taking off and now i cant stand the sight of them. ill try to post pics soon. they are williams wonder from rez and i have them under 1000w hps. they are in ocean forest soil and i use almost all of the fox farm products on their feeding schedule. thanks to anyone that can help.
 
if i could go back i would have hit em with plain ol water til they adjusted. i had a yucca cane plant on my patio this summer that was left out too long. it looked healthy and green until i brought it in. it died a couple days later. its like it was frozen in time and once it thawed out it fell apart. thats what seems to have happened with some of these.

here are those pics starting with the worst of it. could this just be fert burnt?

can you fill out these questions? need more information about your grow. Your plants look like they have heat stress, meaning dry heat from HPS or MH lighting. Drooping will be expected, bringing plants from cold to warm temps will shock them a bit and will take time to recover.

ARE YOU USING?

hi. what is the quick way to fill that form out. i read once that it is at the top of the page somewhere stich.

btw. i turned my lights off, the only source of heat for my victims, the temp prolly only got to 50 inside the room, it was about 20 something outside. all my plants took gas. frankly, after two flushings about a month apart, this and that fertilizer, i had what looked like fert burn or a deficiency. lots of dead leaves, yellowing of almost all of them, and they still have not recovered. i just threw them into flower althought they are only about 10" tall with no leaves other than those on top.

in other words, they dont look like yours, but i can tell you that you might have killed some of them off from the cold. yours look alot worse.
