Well, that’s embarrassing!

Hi everyone, I’m ashamed to share this disaster of a story but here goes.
This is my 3rd grow and I had some problems with my first grow but I learned a lot and my 2nd grow was pretty uneventful (thankfully no major issues). These plants are the grand babies of my original Blueberry Kush (and I’ve got enough so I didn’t clone them again). They are in week 3 of flower.
Well, last week my wife wanted me to replace the light fixture in the spare bedroom so I flipped the breakers and easily did it. Naturally, the grow lights were on the same breaker so I had to reset the timers. I started noticing that something wasn’t looking right about the plants but didn’t know what it was. I decided after 3 days that maybe they needed more nutrients, so I gave them a recommended dose that was higher than the 1/2 dose I usually give them. As I was getting ready for work the next morning, my wife said “are the tent lights supposed to be on”? Evidently, The lights had been on 24 hours for 3 days straight! A switch had inadvertently been switched that I hadn’t noticed. I fixed the issue and went to work. When I got home my plants were burnt from the nutrients!!! am I screwed? I trimmed burnt leaves and still have more to go. Any advice would be appreciated IMG_1903.jpegIMG_1905.jpegIMG_1904.jpegIMG_1906.jpeg

3 days straight light..... I think you're going to have issues.
Not much you can do.
Might get some strange growth & weird buds, potency may be reduced because of stress.
-or- everything's fine.

Yeah, honestly I think the bigger issue is the nute burn. The top leaves at the buds are crispy. I’ve cut a lot of them off and there are still more that’ll probably have to be removed. When I mess up, I don’t play!

Dunno.
Takes a while to reveg a plant though. Have a feeling you'll be OK.
Little bump in the road maybe.
Only time will tell.
More concerning is the overfert. Plain water with good run off, if you haven't already. Or res change if water culture.
Then carry on with the same you were feeding them before, when they were healthy.

Give them 12hrs darkness and reset feed schedule, they should come round imo.
