Plant Almost Dead?

So I had to travel for 10 days. I made sure to water the plant enough to last at least 7 days. Coming back today, I realized the plant is almost dead.

The buds and flowers are still there but all the leaves of the plants are practically yellow and dead.

Will the currently available buds at least fatten and produce THC? Or should I just throw the plant and start over?

That sucks dude! I have another fellow grower in my community that tends to my plant when i'm on my travels. It might be a little late for you now though :(

What are the buds that are already there?:( the pistils are abt 40% dark yellow. Should I wait for them? Can I use those? Will they be able to continue maturing?

To be honest I don't think your plant will make it, that just my opinion though. Keep watering it for a few days and see if you see any signs of recovery. Do you have a way to take a close look at the trichomes?

Without viable leaves to feed the flowers, they won't mature. Looks like they had at least 2 weeks to go. Better off starting the next grow, maybe keep this on the side to see if anything recovers, but those leaves are crisply burnt off for the most part. 10 days is way too long without water, especially at your stage in mid flower. Good luck on the next one!

What if I harvest the plant now? Will I get any THC? The plant is northern lights auto. The buds seem to be in a good condition, I’m not sure what i should do, I’m thinking to keep it for a couple of days.

I know for a fact the leaves wont recover. But maybe there’s a way to save the buds.

Not much point to harvest it now. Look with a scope to see the trichs, but likely not close to ready yet. Northern lights is a weaker strain as it is, cutting now and you might as well smoke your lawn:) Leave it be, the flowers should finish at some point, but yield will be much less, and quality as well should be affected without leaves feeding the buds. Don't harvest it, leave it be and see how it develops, but focus on the next crop instead.

That thing just started to flower. Water it and feed it. You would be surprised at what will live. It will hurt yield.

You could also reveg it. Top it and put it back under veg lighting. In a few weeks it will be putting new growth out everywhere.

Nothing you can do at this point but leave it be. No point at all to feed it! There are virtually no leaves left on it. Without leaves, the buds will not be 'eating' the nutes directly, or drinking much at all! Leaves do all the work for the flowers to grow, the flowers are just the by-product.
It would be the equivalent of putting fuel in a gas tank that has no motor attached to it.
