They should be fine if you water the heck out of them. You could also rig a two liter drip bottle to buy you some time. Good luck

Wonât hurt much however it seems you wanna avoid the stress or week-setback in growth. I predict 3 days wet one day late 3 days droop something like that. I wouldnât want 3-day droop.
A small reduction in hrs makes sense to me but is that too far. What about a slight reduction in hrs and fan speeds. Thing is, consistency is good and bad to interrupt.
Seen this come up a few times still I dunno.
Med-small plants in what 5gal shouldnât be the worst. Maybe let er go. I hope somebody who deals with this regularly comes along. Happy gardening my neighbor

I wouldnât go to 12/12 but I would reduce the light intensity. Also I wouldnât have any fans blowing on the pots

Ok, I think the tent and plants are set up now to make it a week without watering:
-
Exhaust fan increased from a 1 to 3.
-
Watered heavily and placed large trays underneath with extra water.
-
Reduced lights on hours from 18 to 15.
-
Reduced light intensity from 100% to 75%.
I feel good about this now.
Thanks for your help!!

Iâd be tempted to put something on top of the soil of the little ones. Their roots arenât as deep and donât know how well the soil will wick water up to the top. Put a piece of plastic to prevent extra evaporation might help the babies!

We got back from the week of vacation this afternoon and the plants looked a little droopy but not bad at all.
Since they had grown so much I went ahead and defoliated the big ones and super cropped the little ones.
Then fed and watered heavily.
Turned the light intensity back up and increased lights on back to 18 hours.
Now I need to decide what to do if anything about the two planta in the one bag.
Below is what they looked like untouched after the 7 days.

And below are the pictures after defol and supercropping.Iâm sure they will look better once the buds turn upwards again.

They definitely head back toward the light in just a few hours. They look great. I would transplant them if you can safely untangle the roots.

I planted on opposite sides of the grow bag so probably not tangled up too much. I do need to decide though

I think I need your help and advice regarding a potential problem.
On one of the autos I have this weird brown discoloration on about 5 of the leaves. (See 1st photo)
I did fertilize Jackâs @120% a few days ago but I donât think I spilled any on the leaves. None of the other plants grown in identical conditions have this condition.
Should I be concerned?
As a result and as a precaution, I just waters with 100% nutes and reduced the lights to 75%.
Your thoughts???
And here are all the plants together.

IMHO, cut it off and keep a eye out for more of the same, plants look happy

You know, that plant is in the larger 5 gal grow bag so the soil is already full of nutes⌠iâm thinking nute burn

It could be nutrient burn. If it was me I would just remove them so it doesnât waste time trying to heal itself. Not anything I would worry about it. Itâs not light burn so in flower Iâd run 100% . What wattage light you using? Plants look great!
