not sure how but i must have accidentally bumped the switch from auto to manual when i left before i went out tonight...

my plants were flooded for about 4 to 5 hours...

they are like 4 weeks away from harvest. 9 plants and 3 are critical mass with about 4 ounces on each worth already.

what are the odds they even survive? im so bummed. god.

I don't know what the odds are that they will survive.
But I can tell you to let them dry out as much as possible and then continue on with the regular feeding schedule
Also, you should put the timer in an area where it won't be bumped or bothered at all

bummer
make a h2o2 solution and water by hand
that will give some oxygen to the roots and increase ur chances

how do i make an h202 solution? hydrogen peroxide solution? would that work better than just letting them dry out?

he is talking about hydrogen peroxide. It helps provide oxygen to the roots and kills off all bad bacteria. The dosage of h202 to water depends on the % hydrogen peroxide you have

water and peroxide preferrably 30%
30ml to 1 gal

well is that definitely more affective than just letting them dry?

I would personally let them dry out before adding more water to them even if it has h202 in it
But that is just me

I would just wait until the next feed cycle during lights on, that should give ample time for them to dry up and use some of the water left in those leaves. They should be fine man
