I just flushed my 9 week old plant about 3 days ago, and before flushing, the leaves were all pretty healthy accept the shade leaves near the bottom, which is supposed to happen when extracting the nutes from them as i'm told. But now all of a sudden after i flushed my plant all the leaves look like they are overwatered and near my cola bud, they look real bad!:cry: Any idea on what it can be? and What can i do to help it?:confused:

Here are some pics:

Make sure you have really good drainage.

just let it go dry up then flush it again when you think its time. just be patient. thats what growing is all about.

Definalty don't water them till try dry up. Mayb buy some final phase from ur local shoppe. Soil can be finicky. Buy some hydroton and mix it 40/60 with ur soil ( for your next grow of course) . You will have to water them almost daily because of the excellent drainage, and you'll be able to contoll nutes and get a better flush.

Hey thanks for the tips I get it now, it makes sense. I was thinking that there might not be enough perlite or something but thnx for clearing that up for me.

Cool, just wondering if your plants got their vigor back? also during the flush your leaves will turn color and probably wilt a bit, this is cuz ur buds are using all the nutes and not sharing. This is good. Your buds will smoke great and have a nice white ash if this happens.

Stop stressing man!!!!!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your plant. You have just flushed all the nutrients out of the medium, the plant is dying (this is what you want, believe me!!) When the plants start dying it will push all it's ebergy into seed creation, or in the case of sensi, filling up those calyxes with delicious THC. If you want to see some ugle plants after flushing I have loads of pics. If they still look healthy when you are going to chop, you are probably chopping toooooo early. My 2 cents, hope it helps.

tip: Once I flush I vnever water again. When you come to chop those girls you will also find your weed drys a lot quicker, without it becoming harsh!

Good luck,

DST

You know wut man it actually got kinda worse... i know im using a bad drainage soil cuz this is my first grow and i didnt know wut to use but the soil is still damp so i couldnt do another flush. the leaves are almost dead now but im not too worried about that but now the buds at the edges are turning brown... jus a little but im contemplating jus chopping her down or letting her go... wut do u all think? This was jus an experiment so im not too worried about how much i get out of it jus as long as i get some lol

Perhaps u have a quick flowering strain and it's nearly finished. You should get a magnifying glass and check the trics. What kind of lights did u use? Mayb theyre done and because of the lights and soil, they didn't produce as much as u thought they would. Looks like u got some nice buds on there. How many weeks did u 12/12 them?

After looking at your pics again, I see a lot of red hairs. I think it is done and mayb dying. Without checking the trics I can't say for sure, but u may be ready to harvest. Hope u get lots of good bud to smoke!

I've heard some people leave it dark for 24-48 hours before harvest. I can't recall why or the reasoning behind it tho. The real way to tell if it's done is to check the trichomes an if some are clear it's not ready. If some are cloudy and some are amber, then it's ready. U don't want them all to be amber tho I guess, cuz then the thc begins to break down. U need a 60x or 100x magnifier to see them clearly tho.
