This morning I went to the grow room and noticed the plants were a little droopy. I usually water every 3 days and it was time to feed them. I thought they were down a little because the lights had just come on from the night. This afternoon I came home and this is what I found. One plant actually had 2 leaves that were starting to dry up. They are crumbly. When I water them it’s distilled water that the ph has been adjusted to around 6.4 with FF nutrients according to their feeding schedule. I was planning on transplanting them tomorrow morning. Any ideas? Should I cut back on the mutes? We did have a power outage the other day and I didn’t realize the heater didn’t kick back on and it was in the upper 30’s low 40’s this morning and warmed up to the mid 50’s

The grow area got that cold? Upper 30’s is pretty cold for such young plants. I would wait on transplanting. No need to stress them more. The curled up leaves look a lot like what my cats do to my leaves if they get a chance.

Unfortunately I assumed when the power came back on and I reset the timer and light, the heater would automatically come back on. Wrong! The heat is back on and I’ll see what they look like on the morning. Thanks
 
Don't give them any more food or water until they drink what they've got. Cold wet soil is more painful to plants than cold air. It really messes up the roots' ability to use the water and nutrients.
Also, if leaves look funky, just let them be for now. Some might get really crusty around the edges but the plant can actually pull nutrients out of its own leaves to keep itself alive, and will drop them when it's done using them.
I think your plants can pull through if you make sure the soil stays comfortable over 70'
Good luck!

Thanks. The heat is back on and like Old Fogey said I think I’ll hold off on transplanting until next weekend
 
Amazing how resilient these plants are. The grow room has warmed back up to where it needs to be and the girls have bounced back beautifully
