Waited too long to flush... now what?

I'm working with two different strands in the same room - Train Wreck and an Unknown, and just noticed that all the white hairs have turned almost completely brown on the Train Wreck . I know I've waited way too long, but technically theyre only on week 6 of flower....didnt realize it was a fast flowering strand.

I just fed them two days ago, but now realize I need to flush them asap in order to not lose the plants. What is the best way to do this without stressing them / over watering them? I've been using the General Hydroponics Flora Series.

I was thinking a gallon a day for 3-4 days as soon as they wake up, hoping it wont over water them, and then chop them down after that.... Any help/suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.

If you are using General Hydroponics already just pick up some FloraKleen. I flush twice a day - morning and night for 3-4 days. Water until it runs out of the bottom. You do not have to worry about stress, as they will be stressed to death in a couple of days.

Done in 6 weeks?! Have you looked at the Trich's? Any pics of the plants? You should def start flushing now if your going to be chopping soon but I cant imagine your going to hurt anything waiting another week while you flush.

I definitely don't want to wait another week to flush - I know theyre to going start dying.. I'll post some pictures in just a minute.

I was shocked that this was a fast flowering strand as the person who gave me the clones didnt mention any of the semi important information.

they DONT look done? The hairs are almost all completely brown... I thought that was the sure sign of being completely cooked.

I wouldnt doubt theyre stressed. Due to what I thought was a good friend fucking me and stealing all of my equipment, i managed to salvage two 400w lamps.

I know I'm still in the very much novice mode... what are the Calyxes? and how could you tell about the deficiency? and how would I fix it? thanks for your help and quick replys.

Those def. can't be "done". Small as heck. Four plants should have been ok under two 400W HPS? Not sure what to say...Plants still have a lot of veg on them

Is there any way to correct...salvage...save my babies?

I was working with a friend of mine, when they up and decided that greed was more important than our friendship, and took our 3 1000w's/reflectors/ballasts, two lbs of freshly havested bud, 2 charcoal canisters, etc etc and hauled ass down south and left me with all the bills.... yea its been a fantasic last few months.

I have since rebuilt, and am now moving on to StinkBuds Aeroponics system, but I had 17- 3 week veg babies, and was left with only the vegging two 400w lights. decided to make due with what I could.... I know its not the best circumstances but I was fucked royally and had to make lemonade out of lemons.

Those leaves cupping upward is a sign of mag deficiency.....it could be a ph issue........nutrient lock up......or not enough magnesium.....either one of those......and your trainwreck plant is stressed....I see lots of yellow dieing leaves...so that is probably why the hairs are turning that color that fast........they are probably slowly dieing.....and that so called good friend is a f'n bitch if he stole your equipment..that is why you don't tell no one about your grow.....there is a pic of a calyx.....it's what makes up your buds.....

ok just cause they are going brown means nothing !!!! your plants are at 6 weeks start flushing around the 7th or 8th week and you will be very happy with what you have!!! you need to find out what your tric's look like i am guessing they are just starting to get a tiny bit cloudy! trust me your plants are fine, you are just over doing it a lil!!!! slow down and let her mature she will do you wonders!!! but i would suggest a nice pic to to help. but hope all goes well!!! drop me a line if you need help. your plant should be just fine!

Wow you guys just made me realize how much I DONT know... haha. I really appreciate all the help so far - thanks! I'm keeping the ph at 6.2 - and the way to check for nutrient lock up is to check the run off, correct? I'll check out the post on deficiencies and see if I can find a good addition for magnesium.

And the friend - yea well. We were in it together for a year before shit hit the fan and then she decided to take off. I've learned my lesson. Mistake won't happen again. And things like that aren't forgotten... Karma is a bitch, and one way or another I'll make sure shit is taken care of.

FYI - I know it doesnt mean much but I'm not a bro :D

Jcdws - I almost feel like I should take pictures of everything and have you diagnose all of it lol.........
