To chop or not chop

[Yagirlsheugly]

Good morning everyone seeking a little bit of advice from this great community... so here’s a little bit of background on my issue...

So I started this orange chem inside a unit called a grobo ... it’s an automated hydro grow box I purchased some years back. I know I know why did I buy it but that time I New nothing of growing and the box actually got me into growing so I can’t hate too much .... anyway plugging the box into a voltmeter and I find it’s only pulling 103 watts from the wall which annoyed me cuz they said it had a 300 watt led light inside. Anyway the exhaust fan for the led overheated some days ago and the led light safe mechanism enacted causing it to not turn on.... so my plant sat in darkness during the stretch for 48 hours... I then decided to move the plant into a 4x4 under my fluence spyder fixture... I gave her a few hours at 100 percent on the dimmer realized it was hurting the leaves so I moved the light as I could go ... still causing light stress... I got the dimmer reduced down to 50 percent ... seemed like she got a little better but then I open the tent today and she looks like this ...(I didn’t do much trimming cuz I was scared of shocking her more then she was ... normally would look a lot cleaner)

Now I would’ve just kept dimming until she looked healthy but then this happened .....

So do you all think I should chop her? Also does anyone know how to fix the dimmer ? I tried what the manual said poked a needled in the top slot and the right side popped right out but the left just won’t come out for some reason...

I would see her through unless you have stacks of other plants to flower out and no room to do it.

From that pic it doesn't look like the right side popped out, you can see the stranded wire broken off in the connector.
Can you open the whole thing and remove the connector from the situation and replace with something easier to connect the wires back together?

Yes you can open it up I tried that but the way the connector attaches to the board consists of soldering so you can’t really replace ... the newer generation dimmer for fluence does in fact do what your suggesting..
