UPDATE w/ Pics of plants that ALMOST died

Well its now been about 16 hours or so since I arrived home to see my crop nearly demolished and dead. Many of you saw the pics I took right after watering them... well I've taken some new pics just a few moments ago and thought I'd share them.
They have bounced back well considering all they went through. The mixture of juice I fead them helped considerably. I was about ready to throw in the towel but after looking at these photo's I wouldn't dare. You'll notice one or two are slow to recover and are goign to lose some foliage but most have responded very well.
-THANKS!

This is the left side of my grow area... the bottom left plant hasn't completly bounced back but is noticeably better.

This is the right side of the grow room, you'll see the bottom right plant hasn't recovered as well as the others but is noticeably better!!!

Heres another healthier one... this one looked really bad last ngiht. She's stretching a lot but so far is the only one stretching. I lowered the lights today they are now 12" above the tops, temps above the tops are kept cool by an evaporative cooler and are about 80 degrees.

Oops the first picture I attached the one with the shade leaf on top of the CD Cover was a wrong photo. I had plucked it and I pressed it between two sheets of glass where it is now sitting. I intend to frame the glass and hang it in my game room on the East Coast above my bar next to the pool table. Ya know.. a keepsake from my very first grow :)

Very nice plants. They must be clones, the nodes are nice and close together. Is that a CO2 duct I see?

Oddly your the third person that has suggested they might have been done by clones, in reality they were started from seed, although one is stretching, most have very tight internode spacing which I attribute to 125+ watts of light per sq. ft. and the addition of supplemental Co2 VIA fermentation. I'm able to keep my lights pretty close to the plants and this helps as well.
The ducting in the photo is one of the 4" ducts used to air cool my 1000 watt HPS and 600 watt MH. I'm working on a Co2 Duct that will later be used to dispense Co2 from a tank but is adapted to work with the fermentation method at the moment. It's basically a 4 ft 3/4 inch pvc pipe, capped on one end and with an elbow that goes to another piece of PVC which has a fitting that clamps onto a 1 gallon milk jug where my Co2 is produced. The gas forces its way up the pipe as pressure builds and the pipe has little holes in it that allow the Co2 to flow down on top of the plants and settle at the bottom of the grow room.
Anytime temps reach 90 degrees exaust kicks on and vents out the old air and bring in new air... this takes place about once every 7 minutes currently. Once I move and get my new area setup which is much larger I will rework the Co2 Piping to fit with the Co2 regulator and 20lb tank, it will all be regulated and controlled by a greenhouse control unit. I'm nearly done witht he PvC piping for my existing Co2 Solution, I figured it would allow for a more even distribution of Co2 and also allow it to be dispensed higher up and as its heavier then O2 would eventually settle lower.
