7 Weeks flowering, Probable BURN, chop now?

I have a unknown bag seed plant that has been flowering 7 weeks. She was looking great up until about 5 days ago when the fan leaves started drying out pretty badly. Even the buds the leaves are dying back towards the buds. The bottom leaves that don't get intense light are drooping/yellowing pretty severly. I'm not too sure what went wrong with this girl because my other 5 seem fine. Perhaps she just couldn't tolerate the 2-2.1 ec (1.7 nutes/.3 tap water) the solution was at. Anyhow, should I wait another week, or cut it now and salvage what I can? I could use the extra space under the light to fatten my other 5 girls up more. What do you guys think? Thanks!

It does sound like it could be overfert, although I've never seen damage quite like that. If it were me, I'd flush them and let them finish, even with the damage. That way, the trichs will have time to mature, and still give you some quality smoke.


Also....I wanted to mention that it was a little late into bloom to be giving them full strength ferts. Most people give them straight water for the last 2 weeks, with many of them flushing before they start feeding straght water. That'll remove most nutes/chemicals from your bud when it's finished, giving it a better taste.

I was planning a one week flush, begging in about 3 days. My best plant is still 90% white hairs so I'm a little hesitant to start the flush right now, but it should be done in 45-55 days according to the website. 55 days of flower would be 13 more days. What do you guys think?

Most of the hairs on the girl in question are orange, not sure if that is maturity or a side effect of the nutrient issues though.

I'd flush it now. If you were planning a one week flush, then a two week flush would be the logical solution to an overfert problem. It has more fert that normal, so it should be flushed earlier than you planned because it'll take longer to flush out the extra ferts. Even if you are going to feed it again, I still recommend a flushing to fix the problem and give you a fresh start.

That's a tough call. The only way to know for sure, is to keep an eye on the thichs, and make sure those are mature before you chop. I have one right now that got burned pretty bad, and it's hairs turned earlier than it's sisters, not alot earlier, maybe 5 days or so. The trichs do look to be a little ahead of it's sisters, so the burn might've been the cause. I'll know for sure in a week.

I gave her a flush yesterday. I'll finish these last 3 days of my nutes and then start the final flushing. That way my max flushing time will be 13 days, but hopefully it doesn't go more then 10. We'll c.

That sounds good. I hope it fixes the problem for ya.

nute burn, flush it with just water for like a week or two, see if anything happns then if not i would chop it

Although the fan leaves are shot the buds are still moist and intact. Cut a branch off to check the trichs and looks like they are doing good, mostly cloudy, few ambers. I'll smoke this bit just to make sure, but looks like it will make it 10 more days at least, thanks for tips.
