Yeah, I guess, but there's gotta be a fine line between a bit of stress and killing them?...lol
I'll have to take some pics later, but I'm talking leaves going wrinkly and crispy at the ends...and burn marks etc..surely that can't be good for it? I see everyone else's plants looking so green and healthy!

Scald.... it's bark is worse than it's bite.

I don't have any real good examples (as I try to keep scald out of shots ;)) but a lot of my plants are scalded:

Even these guys are fine after a little mishap not so long ago...

I know, I know... it's easy to worry about your little babies though. Heck, I still freaked out when I came home to the little fellas in the last shot there... even though I knew through experience that they'd be fine. ;)
 
Haha, yeah thats true i guess!!

I'll keep an eye on them then....and man up..lol
It's just that i would have expected them to be able to withstand 24 degrees by now. Obviously when we start getting into prolonged 30's i'd expect to be having issues....but then again im learning all the time here :)
 
If the leaves are darkly burnt or scorched along the tips and edges it could be nute overload.
With my table top retic setup I had leaves resting on the poly tubes and they got really hot in the sun and scalded the leaves. Water resting on the leaves can cause scald too.
