Help! I left my roommate in charge.

I had to go to DC for 5 days and left my roommate in charge of my plants. I've got about 35 in various stages. He's gone through the routine with me so I thought he understood what to do. There's NO water in them, they're drooping, many leaves are brown and falling off and bugs all over the place. Who would have thought he could do so much damage in 5 days. How do I rescue them? Should I cut off not only the dead leaves but the yellow ones? Nutes? Plain water? HELP!!!!!!!!!!

i wish i could help you but i dont want to tell you the wrong thing i know you should atleast take the dead leaves off

i hope you watered them asap. i've had to leave my plants for a few days like this and i come back... main stem has been drooped over... i water and they come back in 1 day its amazing. never had my leaves turn yellow though. how hot was it in the room? and how often do you normally water?

I guess it pushed 80 degrees while I was gone. There are fans in there and he said he watered twice in 5 days but I find it hard to believe. I've been watering every 3 days even when it's hot.

hm... did he ph the water? hot water? super cold water?

yes, no, no. I think he just didn't water period. There's no way those plants could be that dry being watered twice in 5 days. He's a lazy lazy guy. I just keep him around because he's writing some code for my website. Otherwise he'd be useless.

lol damn that sucks. any progress on them coming back to life?

I cut off a bag of leaves and sprayed with neem oil, gave them lots of water and had a long talk with them. Some of them I took out and gave them natural sunlight. My favorite sativa clone was laying on it's side. It's in my bathroom with natural sunlight and an ocean breeze. It looks much better now. I think they'll pull through. Problem is I have to go to SF next week to a Google conference for 3 days. Hopefully the weather will be extremely cool.
