Tips on Dehydrated Plant - help saving!!

hey ya'll - hoping for some advice - due to circumstance, I was away from my house for 3 days and my fam wasn't able to get into my place to water my girls - of course they're in f****** coco also lol - needless to say - they re super super wilted and 2 of three of them have papery leaves - i immediately watered them all day today and foliar fed them with 2 humidifiers, one warm mist and 1 cool mist going in a 4x4 tent with an outside fresh air intake fan pushing fresh air in and an exhaust puling air out with a oscillating fan on the floor. I noticed it was a bit stuffy in the room when i got home so i threw the outside air fan on asap and have been watering every few hours with spraying folir - one pant looks like it could def recover, leaves re moving snd filling up - the other two haven't made such progress .

Do y'all think i should leave in darkness? right now, i have only one 1x1 light pointed at the wall as to not over stress them any furher but tstill give them a little bit to get what they need? Is that dumb? Should i give them more or less light? Also - any other adviec abt bring back dehydrated plants?

additionally - should i lollipop the dry leaved girls so she stops using energy and only focuses on the top leaves/new growth on the top? I think thats the way but let me know!

lmk if yall think pics would be beneficial - im gonna go take some now either way

Ive let plants go dry for a day or 2 by circumstance...they recover pretty easily in a day or 2...no worries...normal schedule will bounce em back

Keep everything as normal as possible and start watering them as normal and if they recover they recover otherwise loss incurred.

Blumats in such a case may be a solution for the future

or the oldschool inverted cola bottle lol

Shouldnt be a big deal.
Hopefully they'll bounce back. They are difficult to kill.
These survived lol.

Soaked in water for about an hour and misted with water a couple of times and voila .....
3 days later

The crispy leaves at the bottom are dead so when the plants have shown recovery just cut them off and carry on

Ive let my ladies go one time, I used a DWC and one week I was working 17 hour days, completely forgot I had plants, and they drank pretty much the entire reservoir. I filled them back up as if it never happened. Within about 2 days they sprang back. I didn't do anything other then monitor for the recovery days.
Just think about in the great outdoors, draughts happen. Luckily I came out unscathed. It never triggered the plants "survival mode" and it didn't herm out on me.

As other have and will mention, at its roots these plants are hardy and resilient, hence the name "weed".

what do you think about the idea that certain stress in veg will later lead to a higher cannabinoid content? as in the stress calls for a response that would activate certain genes which would otherwise just lie dormant...
we know that cannabinoids serve as protection and outside in nature more stimuli are present.
I know, from studies, that, at least mild drought stress late in flower can cause this as well as the science is there that specific immune responses - superoxiddismutase - are created vs harsh light conditions (UV), pathogen infestation (like fungi) and drought stress and this response helps to mitigate/alleviate any symptoms regardless of the underlying cause of that reaction.

Quite possibly true but I've no way of testing the buds here.
I think the majority of growers wanna keep stress out of the equation, panicking that it'll kill the plants.... lol
