have a 8 week flowering plant, good 90% pistils red, getting nute burn and worsening, too late to save. Flushed once last watering, like a week ago.... Should i chop her down? Dont think it will b good to last another week after 2nd flush... How will not doing a full flush effect my plants?

erm, well first of all u should of noticed that u was giving too much nutes. id i was u, i would just keep flushing every 2 days. make sure that water pours out. i did 2 flushes with water and molasses in a week. my bud is not drying.

althought im not too sure because u had nute burn, that could mean there is still alot of nutes in the system. id try and flush as much as i could and then harvest.

also another option could be to keep the plant in 72 hours darkness whilst continuing to flush. this way the plant isnt receiving any light but still taking the water.

i suppose thats all u can do without going over harvest.

what color are the trics? all amber?

using soil and not a liquid fert, so just now getting worser and worser, bud still pretty though, but soil still wet from last watering, ok to keep flushing when water still in soil? No idea bout trics, first grow and no scope :(

well the red hairs dont exactly mean its finished.

if the soil is still wet then leave it. do another flush when the soil dries. look at the leaves, when they start to yellow that means that all the plant is running out of nutes to use, u should be good to harvest then.

if you're 90% red hairs, you probably should be ready to chop but you shouldn't ever use nutes that late into the grow b/c you want your plant to be free of chemicals before you cut it down..... sigh...... your leaves SHOULD be turning yellow so hopefully you're mistaking that for nute burn. If not.. I would suggest zeroing the nutes and increasing the water. Honestly tho, pictures would be really really helpful.

well i think the main problem was that i switched up my soil from regular soil mix with vegging fert... then for flowering i replaced with miracle gro moisture control+perlite+miracle gro rose bloom... so im just gonna single it all on using miracle gro products... agree?? i just flushed my other 2 and trimmed the sick hairs.... other 2 are able to be saved, but starting heavy flushes on em, hope they will be ok, they are mad sticky and dense :) cfls doin me good :)
