I came to realize that the room I am using for growing gets really hot (100 degrees). I managed to get a cooler and have that under control; but, some of the plants are drastically burnt and damaged. There are some green leaves in places and they look pretty good. I wonder if it is likely that these plants can recover? Looks like 85% of the plant is brown at this point.

This feels embarrassing, but real enough. I lost most of the yield, am hoping to at least get a little success any way.

Yeah, I guess the time I put into this was wasted. The cost of more time and utilities outweighs trying to salvage a small result. Must have needed help understanding when to cut your losses. Well, lessons are not always easy. In the Winter/Spring everything was fine, then a few hot days in a row and I had no way to bring down the heat. Hindsight needs to be replaced by foresight so we can avoid many problematic situations. Thanks so much for your help, your experience certainly came in handy for me.

Are you running passive air intake I have really hot summers in Tasmania yes even this far south we get some hot spikes that go up to 39 to 40 deg c , I fixed my problem by passive air intake 24/7 using my exhaust fan to do the job , and in summer only grow at night when it’s cooler , I only have lights on at night I’m not normally home through the day , I feel safer being home at night with lights on in case of fire or light failure , regards Od .

No grow is ever a waste if you learn something from it. Sometimes they're expensive lessons though.

Yes, the price of seeds is silly. Not much complaining here, the grows that turn out right are well worth the cost, besides it's fun to watch this beautiful plant grow.
