Tall Plant Burned by light...

[elskeetro]

Hey all,

i came home a few hours after my 400w hps turned on to find that one of my plants had grown up to the tempered glass and burned the top leaves and the top of the bud that was growing.

They are white rhino, in DWC, just about 3-4 weeks. It doesn't look too bad, some of the leaves were burned and crispy and fell apart. what should i expect? will everthing be ok except the top? will the top recover? this is grow 4 for me and i was hoping everything would go flawlessly...OOPS!!!

haha.
thanks!

PS - i'll post a pic later if need be.

Monitor the burnt bud for hermaphrodite sex parts, and remove any you see. And in the future, try to pre-emptively shield your plants from hot surfaces. You should be fine though. That's not a HUGE deal, although it's less than desirable.
