My lights fell 3 weeks before harvest. Some of the plants broke. Im devestated. I was at end. Do I just let the plants dry and cure and hope for the best or toss?

dang man, have a pic? Did it break right at the stalk? tuff time to cause any kind of stress, they will pretty much stop if they are cut or trimmed at this point. if they didnt break totally off, you could tape them up and hope for the best, just to get thru another 2 weeks at least.

if branches completely snapped off then harvest them and hang to dry.
if they just bent or got pulled every which way. gently reposition them where they were, support them with stakes if necessary, and see if they recover.
you will know in 24 hours if they are dead and then you can harvest them or let them keep going.

Got it. Unfortunately the lights fell right on top and did major damage. I had to harvest. They are drying.

You may be surprised at how well it may smoke...if not smoke you can def squish or make BHO...all is not lost.

This...don't just pull them, save what you can...you'd be amazed at how resilient these plants can be. If it's anything short of being snapped clean off of the plant, it's possible it can recover. Spray the leaves with water so that the leaves can absorb water in case it is having difficulties drawing water through damaged/snapped stems while they're recovering. As Pulpoin said, you'll know in 24hrs what is salvagable, and how you support and help the plant stay upright right now can have a large impact on what is alive here in 24hrs.
