7th week of flower; plant looks like it's dying.

Ok, here is a little bit if background into the situation. Two weeks ago she was looking healthy save for a bit of nute burn (1st timer) and damage to the leaves where they were molesting each other with the fans on. It was suggest by a well-experienced friend that I should flush her to clear some of the salt build-up from the root system. After flushing I let her dry out then fed her distilled water with some blackstrap mollases. She was doing great but the next watering I feared I had leached all of the nutes out of the soil (hairs hadn't even begun to change color) so I fertilized again with what I thought was mixture that was diluted enough. I guess I was wrong. Within the next day the the new growth on the main khola was coming out with gold spots and the newer fan leaves down the main stalk where burning along their edges. Talked to my freind again who said to flush asap when the moisture comes down because of possible nutrient burn. I came back, checked the moisture and concluded that I would have to wait until the next day (today) to flush. While checking I also noticed that the leaves on the bottom of the plant were now yellowing. Today, I get up and go check on my baby to find this: (SEE PICTURES BELOW)


I have now flushed the pot with probably 2 or 3 gallons of water. I guess I am looking for some expert insight into what is going on here. As I said before this is my first time and I still have a very hard time reading my baby. For anyone wondering she is a bagseed NYC Diesel hybrid. I'm not to sure what she is crossed with its either "Juicy Fruit" or "Dumpster".

Yes, 7 weeks. She is a sativa. :blsmoke:

All of the dead leaves in the picture of the lower portion of the plant in my second post were alive yesterday with just a touch of yellowing. Now they are DEAD.

I'm hoping to stop some of the foliage dying because I want to reveg her to take some clones after harvest. Somehow I, the first-timer, have sparked the interest of my highly experienced friend who now wants clones after seeing pictures. Luckily, I was just given 2 more seeds of this same strain from my brother. He also gave a probably another 5 seeds of some Dumpster hybrid, which the Ohio people should know about. bongsmilie ;)


Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot one of the main things I wanted in my first post. I have been feeding her with ph 7 distilled water for most of her life cycle. The last feeding my ph was above 7 so I tried to balance it and ended up giving her fertilized water with a ph of about 6.3. Does anyone think this sudden change in ph might have atributed to some of the damage?

yea now that looks alot worse try flushing and dont feed for at least a week and a half
after flush try doing 2x the water to pot size and if u already did you will just have to wait and see for a couple days at least just let it heal

I think it is time I put her on a diet of distilled water only and giving her mollasses once a week starting next Wednesday.

How does that sound?
