Hello,

I watered my 6 plants as much as possible before I evacuated from Hurricane Ida. The girls are pretty big, 6 weeks of veg and 2 weeks into flowering. The power is out and very hot & humid most likely (probably around 90-100 F and 60-70% humidity). I'll be back in a couple days hopefully and get a generator running.

What are the chances of them being alive still? Do anybody think they will be alive still when I get back?

If the chances are they are 100% going to be dead then I'm not going to rush to get back home.

They are indoors? If so I'd say hell yes they r alive. A bit anemic if in the dark but they will be alive. So basically they will have been in the dark for what 5 days? More? less?

Yeah. If you can get to them and fire them back up. They'll recover.

You might want to apply a Sulphur based spray. To keep fungus at bay.

Don't get me wrong they're going to take a good hit. A strong possibility that none will be dead though. Depending on your situation and if there very large like you said you may end up with something left to work with I'm anxious to find out!

If the power grid is still heavily damaged you might not want to turn on a bunch of lights. Just in case.

Thanks. I have three Mars Hydro TS1000 in there and IF they are still somewhat alive, I'll only use one light maybe at 70% power.

Better bring water with you when you return in case there isn’t any available when you return. They are just plants, your safe. Count your blessings.

Another reminder about external factors we dont control. Looks like you can go on with them.

All the best :)
