Heat tortured my plants, can I save them?

Anyone know what to do about these "burned" buds? I can take more pictures if need be but I'm wondering if I should just chop the plant down...

So I returned home from my 3 1/2 Memorial Day trip to find a terrible site my grow closet... the temp was 100 degrees and my plants were severely wilted and burned to a crisp in some areas! I had poor ventilation and not large enough fan (this will be corrected ASAP!) but I want to know if I can save my plants! There are two Indicas that are well into budding and a Sativa that just began to develop flowers. Branches of the Sativa grew into the lightbulbs but even lower branches on all Rating: 5

Since I haven't seen a reply lately, I'm continuing on in the following post.

Save this Plant or Harvest Early?

just let them go, they should be fine just stunted maybe

I had a plant that looked like this from root rot in veg, and she was droopy and sad for like a week and all the big fan leaves were consumed, but eventually she bounced back and I flowered her and ended up with 2 oz of chronic purple buds. Being in flower and not veg, it will probably affect your yield quite a bit but she should turn around.

Oh, and for the one that all the leaves are burned up and dried, you might as well chop it. Without leaves, the plant can't process the light and its 99.9% likely that its not going to get any better from here.

When you say "I had a plant that looked like THIS?" which plant are you talking about? Sounds like a different one than your are referring to in your second paragraph.

I'm getting conflicting opinion... let it grow or chop it down to use the lights on the other plant.

Remember folks ALL THREE PLANTS needs to be harvested in exactly 3 weeks or less.

For the sake of confusion I've added pics. The first one (Indica-A) is the burned one in question. Lots of buds but health is poor.

The second one (Indica-B) is fairly healthy and has by far the mods buds by volume.

The third (Sativa-C) is also fairly healthy and is the largest, but the most "pre-mature" and will probably need more light if I want good yield.
