Will it survive, dried up plant?

Hi.
Went on vacation for a week and came home to a dried up plant and tank, didn't think it would drink as much as it did under a week:




All the big Leafs are getting dried out.
Should I wait and see what happens to them or trim them off?

The roots don't seems to have taken to much damage, have seen worse on plants?

What should I do? The plant is still in Veg.

Gave it new water with a normal dose of nutrients.
Should I let it recover in darkness or should I keep the light on?

Try to bring up humidity?

Anything helpful is welcoming.

Wait and see
Rhetorical question but ... maybe?

Well the roots look like they are still alive, it will probably bounce back, maybe some growth will die but I bet it will be pretty much ok.

Yeah that will come back.

It’ll be fine. They’re tough plants.

@Ovah Any updates? If it was gonna come back it would have done it within an hour or two, surely by now.

Light is off atm.
Checked yesterday and I could see some branches/leafs going upwards, but i'm afraid alot of leafs are to dry to be saved atleast the biggest ones.

Yeah but the leaves are expendable. If the nodes are good then it can come back around.

Go ahead and remove any leaves that are dried and crispy. It would be like a defoliation. As long as the nodes are healthy it can recover.

Update:



Removed most of the dried leaf, most of them fell of with ease.
Don't wanna stress the plant to much and will wait until she lets the few dried leafs left fall off.
Might have to FIM a nod or two.

But overall looks like she's bouncing back.

Nice! Next time you plan to leave for a week you may wanna use a float valve and a barrel of nutes to keep your system topped off.

You can do it with two buckets. Put a grommet and barbed fitting on the bottom side of one bucket (top bucket). The bottom bucket gets a float valve set to hold the water height you use in your setup, connect that float to the top bucket. So the top bucket can be filled with h2o and it will feed the float valve on the lower bucket. The bottom bucket is connected to your plant site so they both keep the same water level (use grommets and barbed fittings low on the sides and connect with tubing.) This can sit outside the tent and run the hose into the plant site.

My friend will change the water for me next time I go on vacation, but I really appreciate all the help and info! Thanks!
