I had to go away for a long weekend and left my plants to be watered by my mate and just got back and they dont look healthy at all.

This is one in a bubbler bucket

The edges have dried up and yellowed and the new growth is quite yellow aswell.

This is a different plant that isnt dry at all but its leaves have just flopped over I think its been over watered as the soil was way too wet so i repotted them

looking at the stickies the first one looks like potassium deficiency? will some nutes do the trick for that?

Just spoke to my mate and he said they were drying out quickly so he watered them alot which explains a few things but now i repotted them will that eliminate root rot or anything else? and how long should it take for them to perk up abit?

please help i cant help worrying lol

Not sure about the bubbler one, but the one in soil looks overwatered to me. It looks like you are using plain compost, i use general purpose compost but add 25-30% perlite to improve drainage. i water till i get a little bit of run off, empty the saucer then i dont water till the compost is pretty dry all the wy through, just before the plant starts to go droopy is the ideal time

they dont look too good but dont throw them away just yet, you would be surprised the amount of stick some of these plants can take . get something like a 2-3 inch nail and press it into the soil around the plant this will allow some oxygen into the soil . im not guaranteeing this will bring your plants back to life but it worked for me when i over watered

It looks to me as if your mate washed most of the nutes out with plain water with the plant in the bubbler. What nutes are you using in the bubbler and what are your readings?

As for the plant in the soil i would say it has been over watered. Adding some perlite to your soil at a rate of 30% perlite to 70% soil is a good thing, it helps with drainage and also helps your plants roots. https://www.thctalk.com/cannabis-forum/images/icons/icon12.gif
