Plants looking worse and worse! What is wrong?

I had quite a bit of trouble with 3 clones from my WW mother. With time i had burned tips, potassium def, probably nute def and nute burn and whatever else you can name in the book. However, i pulled them through it. Now I am in week 8, and the plants are looking worse than ever. The trichlomes are closing in on 100% cloudy, but nothing amber yet, so I dont want to harvest just yet. Or do i have to? Plan is flushing in 2 days, then flush 3 times every 2nd day, lights off for 2 days, then harvest.

Tips? Diagnose? What to do?

Well...you can't repair what has already been damaged. As long as the new growth is healthly you'll be ok. This flushing thing IDK. As long as the mediun has got good drainage... The extra water can't hurt because they probably have some root damage also. Post some pic in a normal light. Maybe some might share other opinions:)

Sacro,
My rationale for harvesting now is that you really don't have time to fix the problem even if you can figure out what the issue is. Many people don't shoot for amber trichs. 100% cloudy is perfect from my perspective.

Just one of them, but two suffers from this, one is on its way to this and the mother is actually just fine and has no trouble cept yellowing leaves in the bottom which i consider normal in week 8.

I am aware of this, but the result I wanted are about 30% amber. Sadly i dont think my plants will make it if i wait. But the main question here is, what is this? And how do I prevent this from happening again?

Sacro,
Pictures aren't everything. You haven't provided info regarding feeding strength, ph, and all that other shit. Having said that...it looks suspiciously like nute burn to me. Test the ppm of runoff water to see.

she is eating herself, since she isnt getting enough nutes she is using whats in the leaves nearby. i would give her a little epsom/molasses with water see if she likes it. or let her finish them off then harvest. are any trics cloudy/amber?

The whole grow is a little odd since its my first. I had no plans on feeding, and pretty much never gave any of them full strength. What goes for PPM we use a totally different system, but test shows 18mg Ca/Litre, and is defined pretty much the exact opposite of hard water. Also I started watering with our tap water (suppose to be very good) but I later found the PH to be a little too high (7-7,5) so I've been watering with 6,5 since flowering week 4. I should probably go down to around 6 for next grow?

soil is good at 6-7 ph for water. i let the plant tell me by size how much she can use. every time she doubles in size i giver her more.
love and peace.

I really don't think there's much you can do to rectify the problems with these plants...the damage is done. Considering it's your first grow and they got this far is a plus for you.....many growers kill their plants much earlier than this.

Your next grow you should focus on finding the correct feeding of your plants and I'm sure you'll do fine. If you want any helpful hints, click on any of my signature links as I documented much of what I did for my grows.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Like 90% of the buds look alright apart for some brown tips on some leaves, and they are very close to 100% cloudy trichlomes. I am aware that the damage is done, so ill flush with molasses and PHed water for 3-4 days then put them in the dark for a day or two and harvest them.

My next grow is already started, and I'm using BioBizz starter kit and following their charts/schedules for feeding. Hopefully this one will turn out a lot better ;)

yes that is the right answer. trying to get the tric amber might not do it since they are feeding on the leaves so much.
Peace and love all
