Think I got it figured out.

So the thermometer was mounted ABOVE the lights - remember just moved everything around a few days ago….the temp at the pots was almost 96…..oops

So I cooled em down with a fan, sprayed the outside of the pots and started a drip system in the pots to make sure that they were getting adequate water without drowning them- they didn't respond- uh-oh….so one last shot I did the crazy and asked em what they needed. And they talk back ( yes I had imbibed just before this)….so I hear from them that too much change so wuick gave em a 'respiratory infxn' and they couldn't breathe….off to publix to buy some Dry Ice….overnight they became perky again….

So….not sure how scientific what I did was, but it worked and I will remember for the future- plants get "stuffy noses" too and sometimes need a little help...
