Hey everyone! I left for a week and I’m not sure if my plants survived! They are indoor plants on a grow shelf, got I think 12 hours of growlight. What signs should I look for?

Signs to look for could be yellowing/browning or drooping leaves and check on the roots to make sure there’s no rotting or bugs!

How do I take care of yellowing leaves?

They cannot recover. I personally cut them off, so the plant doesn’t waste energy on them.
