Sorry if I was a bit flippant. Bad start to the day and all that plus it seems the boards have been flooded with people asking questions that they should answer themselves with even the most basic background reading.
I travel a lot too. I have left them for up to 10 days and they looked fine. I have a two week trip coming up... so we'll see. I soak them before leaving. As it is I water 1x per week during veg and 1x ever 4 - 6 days in flower. They require more water in flower than in veg and all of this is variable by strain so your mileage may vary.
Droopy leaves are most often associated with water. Do they recover or continue to droop? I was looking at the burn marks which is why I commented on the pH. If you aren't seeing progressive leaf damage then they are probably fine. That said, you would benefit from up potting on a schedule. At least once between veg and flower. I up pot from seedling to veg and from veg to flower. There are a few reasons - the plant benefits from becoming slightingly root bound. It forces increased canopy development. Also, the fresh soil gives the plant a new source of nutrients and most importantly refreshes the pH buffer. It is worth the hassle. I have not experience with the soil tabs so can't comment. Sooner or later you will run into problems without a pH pen. Getting the water right solves most plant issues. Go easy on the nutes. 1/4 strength to see how they react and increase from there. Less is more with plants. Oh and hats off - tell no one. It only invites trouble. Your friends will be pleased that you have a seemingly endless supply of great smoke. That is all they need to know.
