Buds gone moist overnight

Yesterday my buds were nice, solid, hard, dense buds. The power went out for 12 minutes while they were awake and today on a few plants, my buds have become moist and soft. Did my plant die? Im 59 Days-in and the trichs are just beginning to turn amber (5%). Why did my plant do this? Sorry no pics but its almost as if my plant lost weight (to the eye) and hollowed/fluffied out.

Help.

they must've taken a high humidy stress period while the power was off. That will make a whole plant wilt, give it a little time I'm almost sure they buds will perk up. Unless your pump stoped running and you're doing NTF or areo... if that's the case you're pretty much screwed by the power company and lack of preventive measures :(

Reckon blackouts happen.. I'm sorry.

Im using Ebb gro buckets so mechanically, nothing was affected just the lights went out. Thanks for the info and quick response. Im hoping that they will harden back up and become the dense looking bud that I was just looking at daily. This also happened simultaneously with using Final Phase. Could this be an issue?

Ok. My buds have not hardened up like they were before. I have attached some photos for viewing. My leaves are soft and moist looking and they are hanging instead of sticking out like they should be. Example 001, 002, and 003 are all looking funny. This is only on half the plant as the rest is doing ok. Picture 999 is of the same strain and she is doing wonderful. I am flushing with Final Phase and will start all water tomorrow. What is this? and will my bud deteriorate?

Temp never gets past 82 and the humidity stays around 30% and never goes above 35%. My conditions are ideal.

Thanks. Im pretty upset with this grow. I have 5/10 plants that are doing great but the other 5 are not producing like the other plants and they are from the same mother. Im frustrated but I guess I will keep adjusting and perfecting this craft.
On Pic 001-003....will these get worse? (im giving all water today until the trichs are majority amber or until the plants look as if they cant take it anymore)

Ok. Here are better pictures of what I am talking about. As of today, I have been flushing for 6 days (5 Final Phase, 1 Water). The leaves that you see dangling are soft moist although they appear crunchy.

AAA and BBB are pics of the same plant and CCC, which looks different, is a picture of a plant looking normal for day 61 of flower.

Please Advise.

I'd say root bound.. They've depleted the space and are chocking and using all the water in her to keep the leaves alive.. YOU DONT WANT THIS! that water should go to bud, so I Think it has nothing to do with the shortage and that it's time to chop. I see huge colas still, it doesn't look like a bad harvest, maybe compromised quality.

Thanks for the reply......So, with that said, how do I prevent something like that from happening because I have beautiful girls that will go in when these are done? I do not have root rot but I will say that inside of the grow buckets there is at least 2.5 inches of water that remains there no matter what I do.
Also, what is the worst that could happen if I let them go for another week???

Thanks.

the one with the leaves up could go on for a week but thats just cuz it looks small enough and fairly happy but the other one needs chopped it will probably get worse if you leave it. the worse that can happen is alot of wilted and dead looking bud that tastes terrible
