Chop now or later?

Hello every1. I have 8 red diesel plants that are almost 8 weeks into flowering. From what ive read, this strain can take up to 10 weeks to flower.

Heres my situation, I think my whole crop had been burned to shit by nutes, and maybe the light too close. Well all the buds are looking pretty good and fat i suppose, but majority of the leaves are pretty much dead and crispy, even the little ones on the bud are burned.

I havent really notices ANY bud growth at all in the past week, and im wonderinging since pretty much all the leaves are damaged, will there be any more growth? Would it be pointless to continue flowering?

I figured i should keep flowering the whole time just because the thc levels will continue to go up, even tho the bud size stays the same. not really sure tho.

im sorry those pics are actually a little old, these are pics of when the leaves just started to look bad, its much worst now

its so sad but out of all my palnts, this little one is lookingto be my healthiest lol!

well according to the pics they are weeks from being ready. if i were you i flush the plants. depending on what lights you use research a little and see how far they should be away from the plant. the plant isnt growing because its stressed. those buds should have red hairs by the time they are done and the trichomes should be 50/50 milky/amber so you got a lil ways to go good luck

ive flushed them all twice and have not given them any nutes in the last 2 weeks. Problem seemed to be getting wors. Using a 600 watt hps, i did have it about 16 inches away, just moved it to 18-19 inches away about 2 weeks ago.

Since i moved the light further, flushed, and not given any nutes, the plants dont really look much healthier.

the hairs have recceeded alot more since i took those last pics, i apologize for not having any recent
