nutrient burning buds

Alright... so i accidentally nutrient burnt one of my girls and now there is some burn on the buds them selves. flushing really isnt an option so im curious to know if it would be a better plan to harvest early (im only about 2 weeks out give or take) or should i wait it out? also, should nute burnt buds be smoked? or would they taste terrible or something?

why isnt flushing an option? you do know you should flush the plants a week or so before u chop so you dont get bad tasting bud, right? lol

you have to flush it with water x3 times of your pot size with lukewarm ph adjusted water nothing else no nuts at all otherwise will be very harsh and bad taste
and you dont want to harvest early because it will waste all your time you have to wait for it. trust me you have to wait until they are 50%+ the pistils brown/red

ok... well, its not an option due to the level of stealth i have to maintain... so, my question is would it be better to let the buds mature longer but potentially let the nutrient burn advance to more of the bud... or would it be better to get it earlier? they arent immature... they could just do with a little longer id expect. and as for flushing them before harvest goes... i havent fed them any nuts for the last few weeks anyway because i knew i wouldnt be able to flush... but the one plant became nut locked before this

is most of the burn on the bud leaves or the fan leaves? a picture is worth a thousand words, w/o that i cant be sure how bad it really is so i cant tell you what the best plan is.

for sure... i just dont have a camera... there is a fair amount of burn on the bud leaves and the fan leaves... im thinking im gonna harvest it in the next day or so, i think this one is close enough to being done anyway... thanks for the advice guys

I still dont understand how you cant flush All you have to do is get a bucket of water from your bathroom ph it and flush your plants............................... Umm so yeah ether way your buds are gonna taste like ish and due to the fact your not flushing Enjoy the harsh chemical taste

Wait. So u can grow and harvest, but no-go on the flush?

Yeah I hear alot of people gettin caught up cause of there blatant Flushing LOl jk man but for real whats up are they for some reason in pots with no drain holes or somethin ??

can the buds themselves get nutrient burnt? and can plants recover from such things? at say, 6-7 wks even?

Threads like these get me everytime. Hilarious points guys. Id flush them.

the bud leaves will show it, they will survive w/o a doubt, and it will eventually recover (not the burnt spots on the leaves though,) but you'll probally need to add a few weeks of flowering though.

thanks. i hope so, let's just say that i am afraid they got the crap burnt out of them.. feeling more papery than leafy.

can it literally stunt or kill the buds?

the severity of the damage is the main factor as to wether or not the bud will be badly effected and growth stunted.

water with epson salt. buds probably wont get any bigger than what they are now

Just feed them water with molasses, the molasses will help the plant metabolize any excess elements you may have introduced by over fertilizing & will stop the plant from going hungry. It will also help with the combustion of the end product.
As the excess elements are already locked into the soil, pouring water through the soil will do nothing.

i keep seeing people say you can fix a lockout w/flushing........thats not true
