So i have never posted b4 but have been a long time viewer of the site.

anyways I went bowling today and when i came home, after the lights had been on for about 3 hours, i went and checked on my girls and to my astonishment, this is what i see!

I swear i was about to cry. my pump broke on the whole left side of the room.
this is what the right side looks like (not broken).

just some heat stress. pull the lamp back to give them a break.then over the next few lower it
get fans going-they look great otherwise.
 
Is there any chance you could get up in the morning and get another pump at the Hydro store? When dealing with hydroponics, having extra parts lying around is always a bonus...Good luck on the recovery!!
 
They look like they can still survive as long as they get water asap.
I would temporarly hookup the working pump to the left side and water them for half an hour to get them fully watered and cooled down.
If they are still good they should pick up thier leaves in a few hours.

Hey guys so i raised the lights and switched out the 1000w in the back for a 600w and yes i put in a little bit smaller pump, but still works, till i can get a new one in the morning. they are already looking a bit better a few leaves are starting to perk up again :]

I had the same thing happen to mine except it was my stupidity that forgot to turn the pump back on after checking the filter. Looked almost as bad as yours. I saved all but 4 out of 50.
