yellowing of newer growth can be a few things. doesn't matter, because it's a simple fix.
Flush-n-Feed. Poor some water, poor some nutes.
If you feel like fussing with this, take a look at it.

Edit: yellowing showed up in the older leaves first, then started becoming present in new growth. sounds like nitrogen

How long were you gone? It looks like they received dark for at least 4-5 days to me, but they should still pop back. Keep the light around double the usual distance the first day back on and gradually lower it back down. I wouldn't put those into flower, you won't get much and the potential for return is much better if you can get them back on track. They should be ok, they're still very young. They will be a bit stunted from it, but get them healthy, take clones, profit.

Why are you posting an AN link? This has nothing to do with nutrients.

It was a yellow/brown color on the tips of older growth. Now, no yellow/brown, just a neon green color in the middle of new leaves coming out. You can see above in first picture. I'm gonna start feeding her some nutes tomorrow and see how it goes. Wish me luck and thanks for the advice man.

What? did you click that link? It has everything to do with deficiencies.... This is the NUTRIENTS SECTION...
Edit: I didn't see his pictures of when he came back. They look fine. Nothing to worry about.
The picture I did see was the one with his finger pointing to older growth that was losing health.

But his issue is caused by light deprivation, as was stated in the OP.

I was gone for 3 days. I was running them 18/6 and the lights were at about its 15th hour when i left, so they could have been off a the full 3 days. Not 100% sure. I did place the lights higher and she has stretched alot overnight. I was thinking about LSTing her so that will help with the yield. Dont have alot of room to work with until I move in a couple months.

Lights were off for three days and you are moving in a couple months. I'd suggest just start flowering now. Finish this one up before you have to move out. She could be pretty big by moving day. LST aside, how long were you planning on running her in veg?
Did you find that link useful at least?

They'll be just fine, but I think they're still too small to flower. Let em get at least a foot tall.

Was planning to.veg her another month. This is more of.a trial and.error grow rather then expecting a lot. also about how long will it take to show sex??

Well, that's good. So that's why I suggested taking the long dark period you have already taken and running with it. Long nights will stimulate flowering and signal the plant that the season is changing and it is time to reproduce. Indoors the sex can show in a week. But you want to know how long, given the variables of stress.... that could be as long as three weeks.
If you started flowering now. Since the plant was probably already given a little bit of a trigger, it would probably get this experiment over before you have to move...
But if you wan to veg another month, that's always a good experiment as well. These girls typically triple in size during flowering. Vert.

I recently read that it is like "kick starting" the plant to flowering. I figured she would at least double but it would be bomb if she tripled ha ha. Anyways she will need a watering in a day or two so that is when I'm gonna start the nutrients + LST. She has been doing well without any nutes but I figure now would be a good time for the nutes. Any ideas?? For future advice...

Ideas? I have all kinds of crazy ideas....
Start changing the lights to promote flowering and hitting her up with that 0-10-0 bone meal and guano. Possibly create a tea and brew it. i'm sure there is bacteria in that guano.
Edit: if the phos in the bone meal isn't soluble in water, at least the water can help carry it to the roots faster, but it might be wise to just brew the guano up with some molasses or something... i don't really know what to say.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but why are you giving this advice? It seems pretty clear that you don't actually know what you're talking about, yet you're giving advice...
That bothers me.

Damn.... I'm giving the advice because now is a good time to flower and get the plant finished before the guy moves. I recommend using the phosphorus right now because he is going to begin flowering... I wish he had something else to work with, but you gotta work with what you got. And I don't have what he has so, i guess i should have asked more questions....
Why aren't you helping and just trolling me?
Edit: I also want to know what you have wrong with me telling him to start flowering and feeding his plant some of his phosphorus and bat shit?

Thanks for the advice man. Whether or not you knew exactly what you were talking about lol. Anyways I went ahead and purchased some Fox Farm nutes. Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. My next watering I'm gonna hit it with 1 tsp tiger bloom + 1 tsp big bloom into one gallon water. I'm thinking of doing a low dosage of nutes every watering and seeing how she likes that. Here are some pics and let me know what you guys think.
