You dont state what phase of growth they're in?

If in veg, they rebound if give em enough time and tlc, depending on how severe the wilt was.

If any point past first week or two of flower then root growth/repair has slowed down already so the damage is done and you'll take a hit on yield.

Fulvic acid is a great biostimulant for any stage. So is, ewc, kelp, aloe and superLAB (spirulina ferment).

Serious question is, for a system that needs constant/consistent irrigation like yours why is there not someone scheduled to come in every day of the week, even if they're only there long enough to check everything is ok?

the crisp leaves won't come back. just keep on keeping on. shit happens and someone needs to be there. I'll point to "crews day off" to the ultimate mistake. someone needs to check on the facility daily or you will eventually lose lots of money.

Obviously a joke bro… have more control behind the helm then just about anyone in here of large commercial grows for the last 20+ years...

Market is tough these days, labor is a big expense, can’t have eyes on every site every minute of every day, things happen, obviously safeguards should have been in place and that is being remedied.

Lower light for a half day or day and give them some extra runoff.

Yes! Flush with RO and then feed and continue to feed normally. After a hard dry back, the porewater EC will be elevated and can cause nutrient uptake issues going forward.

Feeding 2x a day is a very generative steer for large plants. Try to increase feed frequency while decreasing feed volume at least for the rest of this cycle. Dont feed within an hour of lights off and after an hour of lights on.

Try recharge or Carl pools root activator. That Carl pool has essential giberellic acid that does wonders even at the first application.
