So I had my babies going very very nicely, 2 1/2 weeks into flower and looking GREAT! I had an important business trip I had to make to the east coast, so I had my trusted buddy look after my plants for me, well he ran into some issues and was not able to make it too my house for a couple days more than usual, and I got the dreaded phone call from him :-(. He sent me some crappy cell phone pics.

Ok here is what I know what happened. I am running a homemade aeroflo style setup. (2) 1000w hps. When he last checked the setup, he topped off the rez. and adjusted the PPM to 1500 as should. Well since the 3 days passed, the water level got down VERY LOW, and the nutrient level was off the charts. I'm assuming they were being fed extreme amounts of nutes for about 2 days...

He told me the plants were wilting very badly, and many leaves fell off and were burnt, but worse of all, all my plants were collapsing. I FREAKED OUT! I had him instantly flush the rez. , and right now they are being fed straight water with about 200ppms. He tried tying up some stems and standing them up...oh god I hate even talking about it. Here are the crappy pics he sent me

My question is...will they recover? and if so how badly will it affect the final product??? Please any advice is needed, I feel so useless being so far away from my babies...oh the torture.

they were taking up more water than nutes, that's why there was such a high ppm in so little water. flush them with straight water for a day or two and add nutes slowly. nice canopy sir

That makes me sad to see that man. Hopefully they will make a decent recovery. Unfortunately I have to admit your going to see in impact in yield, but I wouldn't call it catastrophic. Don't get discouraged or anything, just keep on growing and be happy. Just gotta pick up and move on!


Btw, nice bike.
