Had to store plants in unpowered fridge overnight/ molasses-like spots HELP

I had to store six plants in an unpowered fridge overnight. I have some molasses-like spots on some of the more unhealthy plants, or on all of them actually. The healthier ones weren't so affected. The spots/necrosis has a bit of a shine to it. Before you hate I had a landlord inspection today and had no other choice. It was that or possibly become homeless. Any input? More information can be found on my grow in my sig. I'm growing autoflowering varieties.

Any good info will be rewarded with rep.

Ive had bugs do some spots like the one on your 2nd pic. Maybe there was something hiding in the fridge? Notice anything crawling around on the underside of those leaves or along the soil?

I believe that is what happens when subjected to cold weather. The potassium or phosphorus gets locked up quick in cold temps and it makes the plant look like the plant has a deficiency. If they are out of the fridge now you shouldn't see it spread, nor will it look any better on the affected areas. If it continues you may have a problem with either of them. You'll have to wait and see how it progresses. I think is showing a combination of deficiencies from being in the cold though.

It was probably 60-65 degrees in the refrigerator with no bugs. They were inside 14 hours with no light. They were wet from condensation but that's about it.
