Cooked autoflower week 4 - Purge, or leave?

Hi,

I had a bit of an... Incident earlier today. It seems my thermostat controller for my space heater fell to the floor and heated my space tk 120f, resulting in 1 of 4 autos having completely wilted growth on about 1/4 of it, which is progressively blackening.
I know that growth is dead, my question is should I keep the remaining healthy growth?
I'm in week 4 and they aren't quite flowering yet, but I'm assuming being any day now it's too late and the chance of a hermie is too big of a risk?
Or would it be advised I keep it, but watch closely for any signs of male?

I don't really want to risk pollinating everything when they go into flower, but I'm not sure how likely it would be.

Why not keep it going? Are you running out of room for the other three? Chop the dead stuff off of her. Does the strain have a herm tendancy? I wouldn't worry about it.

It's a fastbuds amnesia zkittlez, I haven't really seen any complaints of hermies in any diaries I've seen and fastbuds seem to have stable genetics, from what I know.

I'm just worried that they should be entering flower within the next week or so and with it being so close it won't have a lot of time to recover from the stress.

i had a herm from fastbuds, purple bannana punch i think. only one branch, but thousands of seeds

Hi,

Thanks for replying. See attached for pics.
It's pretty bad. I left the growth hoping if I highered humidity and watered they'd rehydrate but knew it was unlikely. Going to trim all of the dead growth, but as mentioned, pretty concerned with this bring so close to flower.

I'd pull the burned stuff off and let er go lol. I was gonna toss a NL plant last run and she ended up being the best in the run. Never know

as above, juswt pull the dead crap off, you have a good canopy , so don't wast it,. you will be surprised just how resiliant weed is

Both my autos fell over I didn't post pics bcuz everyone laugh they growing fine

Fan fell on it as well, some like the abuse

my autos go through hell I snapped branches and just tape them back together

Thank you all for your time in replying - I'll keep her, and keep an eye on her!
I was devastated it was amnesia zkittlez of all strains this happened to, so I'm definitely happy to hear there's not much to worry about.
Love a good haze, but I'm a sucker for zkittlez, too. Best of both worlds!

cannabis is a weed, it will grow practicly everywhere. i remember seeing a cannabis plant in amsterdam, growing out the back of the pavement stones. it was a 4 ft ruderalis i think.

After looking again it kinda looks like you just got the lower of the plant and id cut that off anyway to make the plant grow them tops. Like was already said above you got a nice canopy going and that's where you want the energy. You just pick one hell of a stress technique haha. As far as hermin goes keep your eyes for them nanners and pluck em if they do show. I think you'll be fine. I'd definitely do a little tying down to open em up. Get more light to the inside

Thanks man, appreciate it.
I was planning on thinning out the lower levels and tying new growth back this week funnily enough... Just without extreme hear as a means of removal haha.

I'll get the rest tied back tomorrow - I'm using the strip led modules with a DIY light so an even canopy is essential for even distribution considering the drop-off is quite large from 8" and above.
