Any chance of survival? No water :/ Pics

sweetcheekz · Sep 21, 2011

So doing a low pressure aeroponic setup for vegging and plug got disconnected from pump connecting to pvc pipe so plants didn't get water for awhile (I'd guess around 36 hours)

Vegging 5 white widows,
1 looks fine (roots were hanging 5" in water)
2 look bad but possibly ok
2 look horrid

They are now back to their water schedule of 50 sec on 4 min 10 sec off.

Any chance the really bad ones will make it, or are they gone?

If there wasn't much root damage you should be fine, also it looks as if they arent to shriveled up. The humidity around the roots is probably what saved you. Looks like they will be fine, stay on top of it and they should bounce back.

i agree, not as intense light also. until they perk back uup. but ive had shit go that bad on me before bro. its salvagable, just give it the best tlc u got.

Sweet deal

They actually seem to be standing themselves back up *a little* after just an hour, but that's very possibly just my wishful thinking mixed with the vaping....

I'll just watch the girls for a bit and wish for the best...and make sure my fitting is tighter from now on lol

Thanks for the replies

Edit: I moved the light up a few inches to give them some more recovery room, thanks for the tip

yep anytime, and i ouldnt doubt they are standing themselves up. this plant is very resiliant.

how long has it been since they started getting water again and how are they looking now? ? I've seen this level of underwatering experimenting with extra plants i usually have set aside for experiments and its nowhere near as bad as it looks. i give them 6-8 hrs max before they are pretty much recovered.

I've seen similar things happen to clone clippings, you would be amazed how quickly they will perk back up. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they were back to normal in a day or two. However I also wouldn't be surprised if their growth was stunted for a week afterwords.

This is them getting back on their normal, 50 sec on 250 sec off, cycle for about 1 hour and 45 min. They straightened up, leaves are still sad though. I thought the two were already dead, they sure play possum well

A week of stunted growth wouldn't be so bad for me because I am vegging these guys twice as long as I'd like to due to just starting perpetual grow and needing to cut clones twice off this plant set to fill rotation.
