Returned from vacation to yellow leaves

Hey everyone! First time grower here.. I have two girls on my balcony. One is a short, healthy autoflower and the other is a bag seed. The bag seed is nice and tall, but I returned from being away for 5 days to find a number of lower leaves turning yellow. I asked someone to water them using oh balanced water, but I know for a fact they went dry at least once. Any suggestions? I'm using Gaia greens power bloom, 1 tbsp ever other week. Am I over or under fertilizing? The fertilizer instructions say 1 tbsp per month or "as desired" (as top dressing). I feel I should probably mention they're on a balcony that faces south east and the only get approximately 6-6.5 hours of direct sub light. I understand /believe this is the reason the plants are so short (the autoflower) and lean (the bag seed). Do y'all agree? Thanks everyone!

I'm including a pic of my zkittles for feedback. I suspect it needs about another month (microscope from wish is stilllll in the mail) It flowered in or around 4 weeks! :)

I have a plant that went underwatered while I was away for a few days and some of the leaves turned yellow also. Did the leaves look a little droopy when you came back? Hard to tell but it looks a little that way in the first couple pictures.

Give it a good drink if you haven't already and it should recover (although some of the yellow leaves may not--you could just remove them).

Can't advise you on the feeding--I'm going organic which is a whole different ballgame, but that sounds like a moderate amount to be giving them. In general my experience is a light hand is best with nutrients.
