31C is way too hot. Get some ventilation and fan on them. Try to get the temp under 26.
How big is your grow space?
In your other thread you said you have a 1000w mh?
This may be too much wattage for your space without an A/C.
In your 3rd pic, notice the leaf on the left is curling? This is a sign of heat stress.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

put them plants in a bigger pots, and put a fan on them. watering how much are you watering? look a bit over waterd,

If you can get the temps down under 26C with a fan on them, I can see no reason why they shouldn't recover. You may want to look into a larger exhaust fan and/or an air-cooled hood/cool tube. And a larger intake.
Where's your intake pulling it's air from?
What's the cfm rating on your exhaust fans?
Cooling a room of that size with 1000 watts is possible, if you can get your ventilation configured correctly. This usually involves smoking a fatty and thinking about it for a while.

an air-cooled hood/cool tube. is a must to take away the heat of 1000 watt lights. no dout. i use 2 gal pots for the size of what i want. just what do you have your lights in by the way?and how big is your room?

 

[colliewood]

my room is a walk in closest ,and i ampulling the air in from the room it is atached to .the vent is blockedoffto keep it cool in there. the fans say they are rated for 80 cfm .two fan are pushing air in to the attic .and the other 80cfm is pushing air in through 4" dryer hose though the door .the two pushing in to the atic was hoping to hook up to a homemade activated carbon filter

Get the temp right, repot, and give more furts. Good luck!

cutman i have a 7*4*7 room and my lights are in a parabalic 4 ft shade. a cool tube would ork for the hps what about the mh .is there a universal tube or would i have to get two

 

[sk8disgruntled]

i agree with cutman, they look over watered, maybe a heat issue, and ive had this drooping problem when my plants are in too small of a container, i would transplant them into 3 or 5 gallon pots

 

[colliewood]

thanks guys repoting now and looking at getting a 500cfm tomorrow

 

[cutman]

you can put any thing you want in there hps or m/h. same with hoods. i look into a 6'' hood. i just pick one up the other day for 70 bucks, it was used but hey , better than 125.00,.new. any thing that will suk that heat away and pump it out would be good for you. now remeber when you repot the ff will have nutes in it so dont just start giving them the nute for a couple of watering. then work it up from there. I dont give my plants nutes every time i water. and i water every 3 days.now on that 3rd day i give them enough water through out the day to last for that time period. weather nutes or not on that feeding. but your plants are fine just repot and go from there.
