Rockwool dried out real bad, should I just harvest immediately?

I have 2 plants in an outdoor greenhouse planted in the Mini Slab Rockwool things and I forgot to water them one day and it was super hot and dry out, the rockwool mini slabs got dried out completely and now my plants that are late in flowering have all yellow leaves except the buds are still green. Should I just cut them down now and harvest? Or wait and see if they recover and keep budding? Also, should I flush at all? Or are all their roots dead anyway? Thanks

No point in harvesting if they're not ripe...

Hey clown, he is late in flower, probably 1-2 weeks to go, leaves are done, no use leaving them to deteriate any more, don't you think?

I think you would be surprised what a plant can recover from, MJ is a very tough plant. Worst case scenario they dont swing back and you harvest early, but dont get over anxious and hack down a plant thats not mature.... and you definitely want to try to flush it if at all possible, proper drying and a good cure can help alot, but there no replacement for a well flushed plant.

can't tell without pics. But if you harvest 2 weeks early its going to make a big difference in potency.. So I cant really say. It would be a bummer to harvest early, but shit happens.

OP, buy a pump and timer next time and create a flood and drain table! Take human error outta the picture.,

Here are some pictures of the 2 plants. If you guys recommend that I harvest asap, should I flush with only water for 2 days before cutting them down? Or just cut them down without the flush?IMG00804-20120920-1211.jpgIMG00805-20120920-1212.jpgIMG00806-20120920-1212.jpgIMG00808-20120920-1212.jpg

Can you check your trichs with a scope? The main stem appears to be living and functioning as the enlarged pics show green and sugar leaves. If not majority cloudy trichs at minimum I would keep going. Are the buds remaining firm or softening/loosening? If they are firm and as green as they appear I would not hesitate to carry on watering until something changes for the better (cloudy/amber) or worst (buds losing consistency and degrading).
