I started 12/12 on these critcal kush june 1st. So they are only around 50 days in...I stopped giving them nutes this week and beginning flush. I fed them tap water and molasses yesterday. I think I may have started flushing too early bc most of the leaves are necroing off and Im afraid the buds are next. I wanted to fatten them up and go at least 9 weeks but idk if theyll make it that long with just water. Should i feed them nutes again then flush the rest? I checked the trichs and only a few cloudy mostly still clear i think so idk what to do... Thanks,

Buds do look nice, but, yeah, you've got a nute problem. Is it just your top leaves that have gone so yellow? If so, you need more calcium. If it were me, I'd feed (simple "bloom" solution) and water LIGHTLY, no more molasses, and no more flushing if this is a soil grow. Then, water only -- no feeding -- during the last 5-7 days.

you know the answer is 2 more weeks, it is always two more weeks.
In two more weeks post pics again and I bet you dollars to doughnuts that someone says "two more weeks"

You only want to flush if you have lock-up, or when you are about 14 days before harvest. At all other times, unintentional flushing is the result of over-watering. In your case, you happened to over-water / flush at just about the 14 day mark, if I've read your thread correctly. So, if you do feed lightly right now (which several of us have suggested), you'll have to watch your trichs very closely to make sure you have time to flush again before harvest. If the resin is already starting to cloud up, you might be better off leaving it alone (not feeding) and just water lightly about 2 more times before harvest. I don't flush right before a harvest but that's because I flush at 14 days pre-harvest and I don't feed after that. Flushing gets rid of the crap in the soil and forces the plant to use its reserves (which is what we want it to do just before harvest). After a final flush, the plant needs time to dry thoroughly and then go dark for 24 hours before you actually pull the plant. (We were just discussing this on another thread, btw)
