Dwc under water help! Will they survive?

[Mattsmith1871]

Hi all,
I am running a DFT system and was away for a weekend. I've come back and my pump was off and the plants have soaked up all of the water that was sitting in the tray (about an inch or 2).
Some leaves have gone brown/crunchy around the edges, most of the others have started yellowing.
Its been 24 hrs since I fixed the issue and this is what they look like now. I have removed all of the too far gone leaves.

They should recover but maybe someone running hydro will chime in.

Hi its been 5 days now, they've started recovering now but thankyou for the reply. I think I got lucky as it happened just before any bud production started.....
I lost a few leaves but it needed to be thinned out a bit anyway.
DO NOT CUT OFF YOUR LEAVES THEY WILL SAVE YOUR PLANTS IN AN EMERGENCY!
I like to think of the leaves as 'armour' for plants.
Happy growing

Update: they turned hermie on me the slags lucky I got 2 more in a sperate space think the stress was too much for them to bare..... They looked healthy otherwise but I don't want plants with testicles!

Optic foliar "switch" knocked those nuts off and saved my harvest.

I had a prob with damp in my bedroom so my landlord has work to do in the same room so just as well lol! The 2 I have I can hide lol, no way I was getting away with 6!
I got a white widow and yumbolt both in bloom, when these are done I'm gonna start again anyway won't have any work or anything to worry about!

No you're fine I left my Aeroponic pump off for a day and a half. Plants were completely dropped over roots were dry as shit. They came back like it was nothing.

first time i tried hydro i wanted kratky method( without air pump) plant would grow for few days then just stop and slowly start to die.then after every water change i guess she would get new air and would grow a little and stop. soo yea it can survive...

Mine all hermied after they're experience I've decided to start again, had a few issues with underwatering as they were in the wrong pots for the system....
I got an auto white widow which is nearly done and looks good so it's not a complete loss I guess!
I do this as a hobby and when my skills are good enough only then will I try to go a bit more serious. Been doing it for not even a year and I see most people have been doing it for a very long time hence the knowledge + experience!
Im starting again and making improvements wherever I went wrong this time round! As long as you improve as you go on its progress so don't be disheartened if you fail or something goes wrong! We are all human and if this was easy I'm sure a lot more people would be doing it.

That's what's keeping me going with my suboptimal 1st attempt. I have a feeling mine will hermy as well, but better to make all the mistake now I guess

Good luck on your 2nd round!
