Super underwatered plants, what to expect?

As the title suggests.

My self watering system failed while I was away.

Came back to a bunch of droopy sad looking plants

Week 9 of flowering.

Can’t get a photo just now but they are severely underwatered.

Can I expect them to come back? They don’t look 100% dead. The leaves around the top budsites still have some rigidity.

Such a sad day

They'll probably be back to normal in just a few hours. It's not good, but it happens. As long as they show a sign of life, they'll drink up the water and get better. Maybe leaving some leaf damage.

Don’t know what to expect. Leaves are cannoing on the bottom.

Just giving the medium a slow phase watering the now in 30 min window. Since it’s peat based I’ve probs got big dry pockets as the run off was super fast!

That’s them just now.

They look hungry as well!!

The buds look awesome

All those droopy yellowed leaves will likely drop but this late in flowering it won't matter.

Once the plants start drooping from lack of water the roots can start dying off in a day or less but again they come back and this late in flowering it shouldn't hurt anything.

Looking good!

Good news! She's bounced back! Still looks pretty poorly but miles better than when I first saw her last night. Was amazing to watch her unfold all those shriveled leaves. Even the brown dead ones she's refusing to give up lol
Yeah she yellowed up really fast. Guess she just ate herself while consuming that water she had left in her.

I did noticed that a lot of the white hairs are now orange.. Could this just be a premature sign of being ready? Only the odd one seems to be receding into a swollen calyx but there's not nearly as many white hairs as before I left. Trics are 30-40% cloudy rest clear.

Will upload a couple of pics in a mo.

Just kinda confusing me a little. Would the plant ripen faster if it's stressed? Obviously she wants to procreate but I'm just wondering if this stressed as reduced the flowering time? But judging by the trics maybe not.

Anyone got any experience with this?

Thanks guys

Few pics here of them

You’re good. They’re almost done anyways.

Yeah they seem to be ok. Gonna watch and see if they produce many white hairs.

It might just be me but i think I even see more white hairs appearing on them now..

She might have a little growth spurt after her near death experience.

I'd be looking for 'nanners to appear tho at this stage they won't hurt anything. Could collect them and use the pollen on another girl to make some fem seeds tho.

I hope so.. its in her genetics to go longer 70-90 day. Just got to be watchin them trics like a hawk!

And yes, I've given them a thorough good scanning for nanners. None yet which is good!

A one time f-up in soil isn't going to do all that much damage, unless it literally kills the plants. 3 plants on a first grow is ambitious. I wish you the best.
