So im on the second week of flowering and left town for 3 days... about 2 days in my roommate discovered the drippers stopped functioning and the 2 ladies were incredibly sad. i had him hand water until i got home to see the damage, which was pretty extensive. One was completely toast, whereas the other perked back up a little, but had significant heat stress to it. I removed the majority of the cripsy leaves/branches and put her back into her normal 12/12 routine getting fed 3 times a day. anything else i can do to help with the shock of heat stress then me hacking away the dead stuff?

I realize that this kind of stress in the 2nd and 3rd week of flowering is brutal, but with a little TLC, any chance ill still get a decent yield?

OH ya they come back. If they are showing signs of life 1/2 strength them for a couple of days and lift your lights, the less stress the better. Crispy leaves usually take longer than a couple of days? I had similar issues but I finally realized that every time something like this happens its 2k or more out of my pocket. I now hand water 30 plants daily and not only did it solve the problems but I learnt to read my girls better resulting in a better product. Good Luck
