Question about Dehydrated 5 week bud plant

I just wanted to ask some of my fellow ICMag members a question about something that I have never experienced before. For the first time I have let my budding plants at 5 weeks go an extra day without water and when I finally got there all the hairs that were once a nice pearly white were now shrivelled and brown. The leaves were all drooped very badly, but not yet enough to bend the buds over too much, so nothing was kinked or broken. I got there in time and I know they will all live.

The only thing I am worried about is it's finished yield being decreased drastically. Will the death of the hairs lower my final yeild, or will they grow back and not have much effect to final bud size?

Like I stated, the leaves were just drooping badly but from experience, not enough to kill any of the plants or even leaves.

Thanks in advance - this will be the last time I neglect my poor ladies.

This has happened to me on my last grow, one plant had its drippers blocked and didn't get watered, all the white hairs went red and had a fair bit of defoliation from the plant trying to survive, you'll lose yield but not by too much, quality is lost too. fingers crossed that hold on for a few more weeks.

peace

Thanks Green81, never had this happen so it kind of freaked me out. She took the water well and is looking great again, but still brown pistils - oh well, I am sure things will be fine, live and learn lol.

If she "waking up" long, big lose. If fast- few hours after watering, small lose:D

thankyou everyone, they seem okay now. Only problem is I won't know if it effected yield when done because this is the first time with this cut. I'll know later because I plan to grow her again, so i'll update this post on what I notice just for informational purpose/ Thanks again!
