Mega wilt...

[Xavi]

I had no idea how resilient the super hots can be... I went out of town for about 6 days and thought my small plants might have trouble since it is so hot here in TX. I was right. Came home and four of my plants looked like death BUT after soaking them and bringing them inside for a couple of days, they rose from the dead. Before/After pics below.

Nice!

glad they survived! an idea for for the future when you go out of town is to buy a timer for your light or put them outside under some cover

Yeah... looks like a massive case of lack of water.

This has happened to me on several occasions.

It never ceases to me how quickly and robustly they bounce back once you give them a drink.

Yep, I should have just put them under some shade and let them take it easy while I was gone. I'm glad that they came through, but it's also good to know that these plants can look REALLY bad and still come back. I did have the light on an 18 hour cycle, but I think the heat in my garage was too much and dried them out faster than I anticipated.
