Funeral Death March??? Or saveable.. (Pics)

So I returned back from the East Coast today to find my crop in ruins. Drastic wilting all around, some plants were so wilted and weakened that the tops bent all the way over and pointed at the soil! Lots of foliage was shriveled up and plants look very sparse... here are pics. One or two look like they have a good chance at recovery.. some well I dont know.
I came up with a diagnosis of underwater when I tested soil moisture and it read bone dry... all the way to the bottom of the 12" pots. In conjunction with low humidity (Humidifier and evaporative cooler had run out of water).
If my diagnosis looks correct let me know, I watered with pH adjusted water w/ superthrive added. Here are the photo's please commend and let me know if you think they will make it.

Ouch!!
They look pretty pathetic alright but I think you can definately save these!
Well most definately water them, but when you do I would also suggest you add a few drops of a B1 tonic such as Thrive Alive(organic), Nutriboost or similar if you have it. They look to me as though they would certainly benefit from it!
Best of luck to you SFG!!

Thanks for the suggestions and vote of confidence RC, I watered each plant with 2 gallons of water, 1/2 teaspoon superthrive, adusted pH to 6.4. I just foliar fead them 1/2 recommended str B1 supplement, I had bought it sometime ago but never used it, whipped up a batch and misted them lightly. I will add 1/2 str B1 supplement on next watering in a few days when I add my bloom ferts. Plants are 5 days into flower and so far every one appears female at first glance. Still a bit too early to tell but some stigmas are clearly evident

So i came home with a suitcase and some fast food in hand, i proceeded straight to the grow room and saw this tragedy before me. I immediately stripped down, dropped suitecase, and removed shower doors. I immediately began my life savign mixture (I hope) and watered them heavily. I then went to the store bought some batteries and took these photo's. So plants have been watered approx 1 1/2 hours ago. I'm keeping a candle light vigil over them until timer shuts off the lights an hour from now. That will give them 2 1/2 hours of light (12/12 schedule now) sense I watered. I am praying them look noticeably better by morning but we'll see. Thanks for the votes of confidence...
I literally had tears swelling up in my eyes and felt my heart drop into my stomach as depression set in at the sight of my once lovely little ladies. It's amazing the bond that is built between a gardner and his plants.
Now my spirits are a bit higher and I'm thinking rationally running around in my little nurses uniform (exagerating) fixing things up.

I would've left the light off after watering, they pick up a lot quicker that way. Don't worry though, those plants really don't look that bad. I think they will all recover and look a lot better tomorrow. You'll probably lose some lower leaves, but damage will be minimal. They look like they were probably fine up until like yesterday. This kind of wilting tends to happen quickly, and you caught it in time.

Geez. Sorry SF, you've certainly put alot of effort into this. I dont think anytrhiungs lost though, but I would most certainly NOT put them in the dark after watering them. So you'll throw the flowering off, that has probably already occured from the dry shock. IMO. I would put them on light until they recover then go back to 12/12. Good Luck...

Hey SFG,bummer dude! I think they'll end up alright though as far as pulling through.Only problem I forsee with them would be the stress that they've endured,that could potentially turn some of them male.I have had the shittiest luck recently,culled seven males already and at least one more is in there.
Good to have you back BTW,hadn't seen you post in a few days and was wondering what happened to you.
Peace and Good Luck brother............KY

Thanks, they are looking noticeably better. They are all either pirked up again or well on their way. 6 of 6 are showing stigmas at flowering spots although nothing is certain yet and I will know for sure ovr the course of the next week.
One plant is not responding as well but is noticably better. Thanks for the encouragment as it looks like they will make it. I have never seen such a transformation take place over night. They went from bending over and dead looking, shriveled up, crispy, and limp to pirk and beautiful again (well almost) in 8 hours. Its phenominal...
I travel for work occasionjally and took 5 days off away fromt he message boards to spend time with my Fiance, back now.

I'm curious if that 8 hours was spent under lights or in the dark?

It was a combination... I watered and left the light cycle unmolested so I didn't screw up my flowering schedule. So happens I watered roughly 2 hours before the lights were do to shut off. So...
They spent 2 hours in the light then 12 hours in the dark. I checked them with a green safety light 6 hours after they went dark (when I woke up) and have checked them sense... as its light cycle again. They continue to improve although are not QUITE 100% back yet. One if noticeably behind and I'm giving her an additional special watering with B1, Superthrive, H202, and an anti-shock treatment I found in the nursery.
