Question about flushing and leaching?

Got a girl about 8 weeks into flower and the smaller leaves in the buds started browning and burning up..I figured I nute burned them(which still might be the case)even though using low strength botanicare..Point of the matter is that I thought I was closer to being done at flushed with clearex..should i continue flushing or feed more nutes and flush when it get little closer to being done??

I usually flush 1 week prior to harvesting, if you start before that the plant will use the nutrients in its leaves and they will start to turn brown usually the bigger leaves but from the leaves none the less. Thats my 2 cents...Good Luck!

Mine started browning before i used the clearex...Can i still add nutes or just stick with flushing with the clearex

Can we get a rough estimate of how long the plants have left. Assuming they are only about two weeks out, I'd continue to water with plain ph correct water and/or the Clearex.

I don't start to flush (organic) until I see the buds start to swell. I learned my lesson on flushing early.

I will post pics when they wake up..I think they have maybe 3 weeks left?? What can happen with the flushing early??

Nothing bad can really come of flushing them too early. I've had friends grow with nothing but water before granted the soil had nutes already in it for a while. On the other hand, if you don't flush early enough you can end up with fertilizer crackling smoke that is both harsh and tastes like butthole. Last round I flushed half the gals for two weeks with plain water and the other half for one week with Nutri+ Clear and they both came out nutrient free. Neither was better. Basically, just make sure you flush for at least a week with your Clearex. Use plain ol water in the meantime so you don't leach your soil of everything. Hope this is helpful.

I will post pics soon I thought my main cola was close to being done but it is growing new white hairs almost like whole new buds popping out of the cola..Can't complain but everything looked beautiful until all the burning of the leaves...
