Out of Town

[Swash]

Hi all, I was out of town and my plants were not watered properly. Very dry and shriveled when I came home. This was three days ago. Gave plants water and hoped for the best. Most leafs are yellow and many have fallen off. Any experience with what to expect would be appreciated. Here's a few pics of the damage, about a month out from finish.

sorry to hear that bro but the only thing you can do is wait. they do pick up, just takes time.
your girls are fine tho bro, just look a bit hungry imo.

Okay check it out, What Iv noticed about Air Pots is when they go bone dry it's hard to get them to take water... With that said, what i would do is find something to put the pot in and submerse it till it gets nice and moist through the whole pot. Other wise you get dry patches all through the pot and that's no good for nothing.

Hope this helps. I would get it all moist and do a 1/2 strength feed after it drains off.

... along with what GA6 says, use a wetting agent, like Coco Wet or the like, to help water penetrate far better!....

Yeah i agree,. airpots can be a right pain watering when dry, for best results, water from the middle very slowly at first,,,but this method is slow, it took me ages so i now use gravity drip feed bags with feeding tubes for each plant I have
I attach a on/off rotary switch to the feeding tubes so I can adjust the flow from 'pour out fast' to 'drip out slowly'.
I just set them to drip slowly into the middle of the plant, soaks it all nicely and i don't have to be there, i just fill the bags up, check the drippers are working ok and walk away.
I check them a hour or so afterwards with a moisture probe and they are always soaked right to the bottom.
