Catastrophic issue + rep

Ok so my plants are in week 2 of flower, and have until today been perfectly healthy

For some odd reason my timer blew out (says it handles 2,000 watts, i only had 1,200 connnected to it)

Instead of the lights just not turning on, it DIDNT turn the lights off

Since i have, the AC, Fans and lights all on seperate timers, the fucking lights stayed on and the AC and fans went off, what this means is:

DURING MY 12 12 CYCLE, the lights have already been on for 24 hours, of those 24 hours 12 of them was spent in 130 degree temps, 60% of the plants are toasted, the other 40% are preetty fucked up

Can i save them? I spent $4,000 on this setup and put alot of time into it, id hate to start over

If they are savagable, should i keep them on for another 12 hours, making it 36 and back to their regular 12 12?

The fucking things are fried and they looked great.. THis is the worst day of my life

Someone please help

I think they will be ok. I've had some look way worse than that and survive. They dont look that bad to me. Some probably will tell you different but I would clip all the dead shit off.

they look like there is enough healthy shit left on them to produce some bud. the top colas will probably be fucked since the initial stretching is mostly over. i would just put them back on flower lighting and wait a week or so for them to come around and just observe the new growth. about your timer, does it have a switch on the back? mine has one to turn the actual "timer" mechanism on and off in case i just want to use it as a straight outlet. what kind of timer was this?

I had the same prob on my first grow, just pick off the burnt stuff and throw it away when the plant is done.
