So I noticed when I opened my tent yesterday that about 4 of my bigger plants looked like crap, leaves dropping, etc. Classic underwatering signs. I noticed the rockwool cubes were VERY dry.

Upon closer inspection I noticed my digital timer was completely broke.

After watering them they looked fine, leaves came back etc. However now, about 3 of the plants look even worse! Leaves are dying rapidly etc. There are no fan leaves left, just the smaller leaves around the flowers.

I left my camera at a friends so no pictures right now. I'll get some up tomorrow

So I'm at 6 weeks right now on a Master Kush, most of the Trichs are cloudy but I still see clear.

Anyone experience this, and have any advice? Will the plants continue to die? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes LOL but I'm holding out hope!

Yah I can't get a pic, my stupid Cell wont send my pics to my email so I need my real camera I guess, which is at my friends.

Anyway, is there anything I can do in this situation? Or is it basically just wait and see?

its expected that more will fall off it takes about 24-36 hours for water to start recirculating (assuming the delicate roots didn't die)
Also depending on how far along they are they could very well come back.
If i need a bit of a boost i use superthrive it brings dead plants back to life seriously GET IT
I wish you the best of luck

Bump... So is it safe to assume those couple of plants are dead? It's been over 50 hours at least since the cubes dried up.

I had a similar situation on my last grow. I ended up cutting all the dead out and returned to a normal watering schedule. The result was a lower yield and not as potent but I let them finish until mid week 9. It sucked but at least I had some pretty good smoke...not as good as with proper lighting water and nutes but it was way better than the schwag or mids i would have had to buy. I would just let them finish as normal and get ready for the next grow.
