if theres already buds on ur plant and you cut off all the leafs and just leave the buds growing what will happin?

will the roots still produce so that the buds will still grow or does it die

im wondering if the buds will still grow without any leafs on the plant??

The leaves take in the light and make the food that feeds the buds which makes them grow. Cut off the leaves and you cut off the buds food.

Flush the soil really good and the nute burn should stop. The yellowing will come to halt and the healthy portions of the leaves will serve their purpose.

Can you put up a picture? It's hard to know just how bad the leaves are by your description because we all interpret things differently. A picture really is worth 1000 words in the gardening world :)

Where are all the horrible leaves? That plant looks fine... although quite overwatered. The leaves look green.... is it just the tips that are yellowing? If so then you did the right thing flushing it and now you just have to let it dry out and you should see the leaves perk up.

The damaged leaves won't "heal"... but they wont' get worse and all new growth should be healthy.

Good luck :D
