6 days without a feed!!!! Can they be saved???

my friend went away recently leaving our little 'project' without a feed for around 6 days. one of them (Super Lemon Haze) has come through relatively unscathed whereas the other three look to be on the brink of death if not already gone. they were found lying hanging down out of the pots. the leaves on all but one still appear green but one has developed brown leaves.

I have given them all a healthy feed today. Have a look at the photos i have attatched. is there any chance that they will survive? Also what else can be done to help them.



Thanks:cry:

I've been in this situation before. I had to take a trip and was forced to rely on others to water my babies....and they did not come through for me.

The only thing you can give them that will help aside from water is some Thrive Alive (or another B vitamin (B1?) plant shock and transplant formula). It looks like they suffered pretty bad but to be honest they look like they will pull through with some water.

Hope they make it dude :-|

edit: In my experience most plants until dead and crispy can be brought back to life with some TLC, mainly just good, clean, fresh water w/o any additives.
 
i already gave them a feed a little bit earlier with nutes im using the bio canna range but i topped it up with some fresh water as well, hopefully we will see a little improvement in the next couple of days.

Thanks

give them fresh water. a plant in shock can't take as much nutes as a healthy one. overfeeding is way too easy.

if you used normal feeding schedual (the one on the bottle) every watering your plants could manage for around 2 weeks with no nutes. (counting on that your using soil)

moreover, DON'T OVERWATER.
a shocked plant absorb less water than a healthy one and thus watering on the same schedual as you would with a healthy plant WILL cause more damage than good.


the bottom right one seems just fine - just underwatered. usualy when you give em water they bounce back in a few hours.
the left ones are not so good. the upper left might survive but the bottom left seems really bad.

Get em water asap. They look like they will kick right back up. I had a similar problem and I sprayed water on them, and within an hour they were getting happy again. Be sure to feed soil tho!

I also decided to purchase some aqua globes to use for whenever Ill be gone longer than 2 days.
