Burnt top of plants, what now?

Hi, so long story short, I was an idiot and stopped watching my plants for awhile because I had other things going on in my life, and well the top of the plants got burnt and I don't know what to do. I have been following this forum through out my entire grow (my first ever) and its helped me a lot, but this is my first time posting because I didn't want to be one of those guys who posts a question that has already been asked a million times but I figured this situation would be appropriate to ask for help. So yeah, I have 3 plants growing, 2 white widows, and 1 white lavender. They are 2 and half weeks into flowering currently and been feeding it fox farm. 2 of the plants got badly burnt, 1 white widow and the white lavender. Here is a pic of what the situation looks like, the white widow is on the right and lavender is in the middle. Are the plants going to make it? should I cut off the burnt leaves/buds? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am a college student, and the money I spent on this operation was a fortune to me (hopefully ends up being a money saver at the end, weed is expensive to buy), so I need to try to salvage this situation. Thanks a lot

Here are a few more pics, sorry, my camera sucks, and the bulb makes it hard to get any good shots, its a 400watt HPS bulb if that matters

IF that was mine I'd trim off all the burnt stuff. But I'm just a little newb.

Use sharp sterile scissors and trim away dead tissue. Double check your setup and move on. They'll recover just fine.

where do I trim off? cut the entire set of leaves or can I cut part of leaves off?

I have a 400 watt metal halide too, its really not gonna work well for flower. It seems like it does work, tho, seeing as how you have buds, but it isn't ideal. Metal halides provide blue spectrum, hps's provides more yellow/red spectrum like the sun gives off in the fall.

You definitely need to stop with the nutes and start flushing the shit out of it with ph'd water. As far as cutting off the new growth, I'm a newb too but I would say leave it on as long as you can
Some of it might get better while some is probably permanently fried. In hopes of saving the most that you can out of your yield, I would just flush for a week or two and see what she does.

A pro might tell you to cut it off tho, who knows.

I only cut what's dead and damaged. You ever had a house plant at home or work? It's like that. If the tips die you cut the leaf a little back. Mostly because it looks ugly if you don't, but also because some think it decreases the chance of your plants attracting pests. Meanwhile your plant knows it got hurt,so it's doing what it can to repair itself. You can help by looking at your gear and setup, fix your lights, timer, etc and get your grow back in order. Try not to over fix with feedings or trying snail oil in a bottle for a magic cure. Looks like simple error, you'll learn. Lots of us have done this.

White widow is a good beginner plant and is tough..

Morale of the story? You get what you put in

I screwed up in my post, I have a 400W HPS bulb currently, I used MH for the veg stage before switching to HPS for flowering, sorry

may you explain why I should stop with the nutes?How does that tie into the burnt leaves? they were burnt by the light and is not a case of nutrition burn, if that is what you think this is. I have moved the lights up and now they are very safe distance away and I will be more watchful of the plants from now on.

AIR COOLED HOOD. Trim off dead back to a node and fox farm sucks. hps=flower mh=veg

Just get a nice little buzz going and with your scissors trim off the dead parts of the plant like has been suggested. Your plant will recover nicely. Lesson learned under lights if you are going to leave your plants for a few days make sure to adjust everything for your absence. Good Luck
