Dumb Noob Mistake, is it too late, or will these still finish?

I have finally come to the realization that this is most likely Nutrient Burn, and not heat stress. I am on day 51, of 12/12 from seed. My questions are, if I start flushing tomorrow morning first thing, will they finish flowering? They all have nice sized buds growing, but most of the fan leaves are dried and crunchy. I know I probably screwed myself over, but what can I do, it was my first time. What say you guys?

All you can do is try. I actually have never had nute burn like that or in any severe case but if it is indeed burn then flushing should save ya but that is some pretty gnar burn

Does it actually look like burn to you are heat stress. The only reason I am questioning it, is because the plants were perfectly healthy when the temperatures were higher and earlier in their life, but the past few weeks this has started to slowly happen to them, but I have been feeding them a strong nutrient solution. It has been 4 tbsp big bloom, 3 tbsp tiger bloom, every gallon of water, every watering for about 6 weeks now.

I just gave them all a good flush. Will it be ok to just add molasses to the water and no nutes? They are all in flowering so I want to still add something to them to move them along. Is molasses safe?

yea man just flush the shit outta them, and just give 'em 2 tbl spoons of non sulfur mollasass per gallon, should still pack on the weight. The leafs will dry up and turn yellow and fall of in the late stages of flower too, they use up all the energy in the fan leafs and they die and fall off.

I am a heavy user of Grandma's molasses. Possibly addicted. It's not a problem though i asked my doctor.

On on a more serious note molasses is 100% fine for use diluted in a gallon or more of water. Make sure you shake the shit out of it to make sure its 100% broken down and mixes. Infact my dude, you can check out my 2008 grow here

Afghan kush from world of seeds. I didnt flush because i dont believe in such fairy tales. Roots do not transmit taste to the plant, its all genetics and the way you dry and cure that gives you those prime smells and taste. I did although stop using my main nutes for the last 2 waterings. Just used correct PH water and roughly 10ml of molasses a gallon for the last 2 waterings.

Ill check it out. I also am a user of grandmas molasses. I just wasnt sure if it was safe to use with the nutrient burn. Do you think these will perk up and get healthy again with some heavy flushing? *prays to mary jane*

Burned leaves will either stop burning or just die off, usually die off. I wouldnt suggest clipping them off, just let them go. That is IF it is nute burn. Looks like it. I dont really tell people to flush like that because i believe it causes a lot of stress on the root system. One good "flush" should wash the excess nutes away if done correctly.

I put them in the tub and ran water thru them and let in drain out the bottom, and left em in there til it stopped draining out. This is the only flush ive really given them. Do you think 2 tablespoons per gallon of grandmas molasses will be good to do?

yeah.. i agree with what everyone else had to say.. i just thought that i would add one other thing though.. on my foxfarms feeding schedule, it says to only feed on every other watering.. like for instance. water with ph'ed water, feed, water, feed, water... ect..
and on your next grow.. go about half of that nute strength and you should be better.. i am not positive, but i think fox farms has their feeding schedule online.. even if your just following that, a lot of peps say to start off at about 1/4 of what they say, and every week bump it up another 1/4, so that after a month you are at what they say on the schedule.. this will allow the plants to get acustomed to the nutes slowly and have less of a chance of burning them..
good luck with the plants though.. you will be suprised at what mj can go through and come out on the other side ok.. i was having some issues with a few of my plants in early veg, and i thought that they were gonners for sure, but they turned around and did so fairly quick..
