I bet they will be OK, probably just a little shocked, hopefully they absorbed some energy before baby leaves got scorched... I'd give them a spritz a couple times a day to help them bounce back and maybe get them into small pots soon since you're in such a hot climate, don't want to scorch baby roots... though I know nothing of Rock wool.

First time posting, Happy to find this forum (it was top rank on page 1 google search (congrats!)
seedlings 3-4 days in rockwool newly germinated and sprouting
lights 4 ft 6 lamp T5
5 different strains (jack herer, trainwreck, cinderella 99, Amnesia, Double Dream)

so while I did do a closet grow about 10 yrs ago, it was maybe beginners luck i got any plants out of that but this time I screwed up and scorched the plants with light too close and fan left off overnight so when the lights came back on in the morning, the temp at the plant level was a whopping 106f.. yeah i know.. i hang my head in shame

I have raised the lights up and reduced the intensity

So it doesn't look like they are completely dead but the initial growth of the sprouting came to a screeching halt and they look like they are just sitting there doing nothing.

I was wondering if they will recover. Some seem stronger than others. Is there a chance they could be permanently damaged and will remain weak and sickly?

Its first time growing in AZ and it does get hot here with low humidity. There is no central air in the house, just a swamp cooler so temps can reach into the 90s if it is 100+ outside which is not uncommon. Currently temps outside are in the 80s and the plants level temp shows 80-84f

Much appreciated for any experienced grower replies!

They look like they're going to be fine ...one or two look a little toasty , but everything's still standing , be careful about spraying , the water droplets will magnify the light and cause you more problems ...humidity dome not a bad idea since your in such a dry climate

thanks TSD.
I have sprayers on order from Amazon maybe can find empty one around
They will be going into 5 gallon DWC buckets if they ever get rooted and recover
Maybe putting the domes back on would help keep the moisture in.
It will be an expensive blunder if it fails seeds cost $200 but as they say
"easy come (stimulus check ) easy go"
