Will My Plants Die? Are drought methods true?

hello everyone, i've been busy for two days taking care of errands and i slightly watered my plants friday, sunday night i came to get the remaining plants for transfer to another location and found them wilting, i mean WILTING, my babies are 9 weeks into flower, and almost all the leaves have wilted and curled making the leaves look like thick strings, they are all yellow and 20% have yellowed, i'm really pissed as i blame this on a few things, but i just threw some water into them, do you think they'll come back to life?? this really sucks a$$, especially being so late in flower. lol sorry no pics but they look like this just imagine huger buds and a little more yellow (late flower). also i've heard of east indian techniques and methods of training them to wilt almost to the brink of death and they say that they swear by this method to increase thc potency? i dunno just need some reassurance here lol.

Indeed, looks beyond saving to me. Edit: sounds beyond saving, but if that's not actually the plant then we're just semi-blind guessing.

You could probably bring it back but yeah not a lot to lose there. I'd start over in all honesty. Read some beginner guides and learn the basics. I still have to read that stuff every once in a while because I forget simple stuff.

There a small chance they will come back but keep them wet and shut the light off, having the light
Off isnt going to hurt anything for a short time says 24hr. The bud development will never be what it
Could of been though

Oh ok LOL. I have sme issues like now I need to transplant some and am in need of soil and they have wilted the last 2 times I went to water. I also had a plant that always wilted in flower because she drank a lot more than other strains a few times. Anyways as long as the leaves aren't crispy they will perk up after about an hour or less. Sometimes if you wait to long the tops will start dying first so you have to ct off any dead parts but the bottom branches can still be alive. I have topped a few plants this way and although it's not ideal or helping my situation, the plants recover.

lol!!! i just found this pic randomly off google, searching for wilted plants and this ones fan leaves looked a little like what i found on mine. i was so mad i forgot to take a pic, i'll have one up later today
 
UPDATE: (music from unsolved mysteries) Put some water into my plants kept them in the dark for a little while and they slowly came back to life, i had recently flushed them, so i'm thinking they never had a chance against drought without nutes also, but they did survive thankfully. the leaves are just a little more yellow now and they unfolded back into regular looking leaves. Wow these plants are amazing, cannabis is truly a strong plant.
