Flowering plant dried out, and I’m beside myself

I had one plant in the garden dry up on me last night. It pulled the moisture from most of the leaves so I’m removing them. My question is will they still swell and do their thing. Or will that super limit them. The buds still had moisture in them.

Probably cost you something but in my experience what usually happens is the fan leaves will shed themselves if it got that bad.
So I would of just left them alone to see if they perked up.
I have had a plant some years ago which I managed to miss in a watering and it wilted right up, fan leaves dropped on their own and it still finished, its not ideal but not much you can do but learn from it.

For sure. Thanks for the response. I’m using Co2 so I’m hopping the faster cellular division will help me out there

Well never had that happen from that before, just out of curiosity how did that happen broken pump or clogged line or just miss d watering. I can say last run I plucked super hard and unlike most times when I do that I had one strain that didn't grow back many leaves and I figured hurt my yield cause the tops didn't swell as much. But after trimming it up I was pleasantly surprised to find out it did quite well. The bottom buds were a lot bigger than normal so it made up for it.

Were you defoliating this plant before this happened? Removing the big fan leaves?

Would have left the leaves on to see if they regained color after a water so you still get some photosynthesis going. There's still a few leaves so it'll finish, obviously with less stature, should be fine to just stick it out till she's ready

Looks like the spots where they were are already grown over so I'm guessing he was, which is probably why it dried out so quickly/badly it had no internal water source.

A buddy of mine does that. All fan leaves off once budding starts. He was finishing 5 plants on water and one died overnight. Dead. He won’t listen when I tell him to stop that shit.

I wouldn't listen either, Im a big fan of defoliating, lol. But for real I strip hard somewhere between 14-21 days and if they need it again around day 42. I have thought numerous times when doing this that I've taken too many leaves. But when it comes times for the scale it proves me wrong every time. I had bottom buds on one strain near the same size as the top buds. Now I can't go missing waterings but I couldn't do that leaving more leafs either as I try to size my pots to dry out daily.
