so last night my plants were fine when I checked them, I was gonna water but I got extremely sick and couldn't get out of bed I figured it would be okay to water when I woke up in the morning. When I got up this morning 4/8 of my plants were wilting. The leaves were pretty droopy but it couldn't have been wilting for over 12 hours. My concern is that there in week 8 of flower and I was going to chop within the next 7 days. Did I lost potency/terpenes/thc on the plants that wilted or will everything be okay since I caught it and watered it before it got really bad?. I know it's okay for the plant to wilt a little in veg but I've never had this happen this late into flower! Is it going to negatively affect my buds now since it happened? I'm so mad at myself for letting this happen!

Not trying to hi jack this thread but I it has recently happened to me. Beautiful one day, was out of town so I couldn't water. Came back the next day to wilting plant and had a real yellow/dying tint. Buds dried up. I have been watering with normal ph water for a week and there is a little green coming back but should I just scrap it for butter?

This is something you need to watch for closely, as they get further into flowering they can increase their uptake and dry out quick. Recovery depends on how dry they were when you were able to get to them. I've had the odd one droop and look like shit but as long as the leaves don't crisp they usually come right back within the hour.
