let mother nature take its course mate

I did exactly the same thing. I was a little over ambitious with the HPS light. My experience at growing is minimal to say the least, but I can tell you I left them to recover on their own, then several weeks later after much more new growth had appeared, the affected leaves shrivelled right up and easily pulled off. I would say that as long as some of the leaf is still green, it still contains active thylakoids and is contributing to photosynthesis so best left alone. Just my opinion.
