Darn heat wave! My plants are droopy

Hi guys. With the heat wave going on (temps in the high 80's) I had trouble controlling my environment. For 48 hours, temps were about 84-86 with no co2. Now my gals are droopy. I hooked up an ac and it's been 24 hours @ 72-74* during lights on but a couple look like they're done. My question would be, how long does it take these things to bounce back usually(if they're going to). No crispy leaves yet, just super droopy plants. I changed the res water and hopefully a few will make a comeback. I'll try to hunt down a digital camera for photos...

Any suggestions on how to improve my success rate?

well if it was from a heat wave they should bounce back within a day or 2 at the most. If they are still droopy after temps have come down and stay down and still droopy then something else is wrong.

WHat is your water temps? humidity? growroom temp after heat wave? nutrients? ppms and ph? How often do you check both ph and ppms/ec?
lighting and wattage?

gh 3part with about 800 ppm using r/o water. Temps are constantly at 72. Relative humidity is low at 25% or so. I haven't checked ph since I changed the nutes 2 days ago; usually it's allright with my r/o water. Yeah, they're still droopy. I plucked a few of the leaves today that are the most droopy (a few of the large leaves).

They should of perked up by now.... you should alway check ph daily sometimes more than once.

Why would you pluck the leaves if there was not anything wrong with them?

I plucked a few because I don't really know what the heck is going on and I was in panic mode I guess. They still haven't perked back up yet. Hmm....

Well the only way we are going to be able to tell is if you are able to get some pictures of your grow.

Droopiness can be caused by over watering lack of o2 root rot all kinds of thngs.

Are you growing in hydro? what setup are you running?
