Hi guys,

I went on holiday for 10 days, set the timer for the light to be on 14 hours and off 10. I was hoping to let them veg while I was away and switch to 12-12 and bring them to flower when I got back.

When I get back, they are a mess.
What were very happy, green plants are now brown, crumbly and look like they are dying. The new growth is good though and the brown is only on parts of the plant.

I don't think they were getting enough light. One CFL hanging with a reflector hood horizontally, so the lower leaves prob weren't getting much light.
Water- my mum watered them twice with regular tap water while I was away.
No super ventilation either- so it's been a week of mistreating my babies.

Please help me with suggestions on what the cause is and what I can do to fix them.

I haven't picked up new lights, but will be adding a few vertical CFLs to help give them proper light everywhere and would like to shift to flower in the next couple of days. They are well overdue for flowering (2.5, nearly 3 months of veg).

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to help out!
