demoralized here.....

What are you feeding it and how much in EC if you know it?

A close up pic of the bud tops and maybe one or two of the leaves might help too.
 
Waaaaiiiittt... you did that without us? Well, you started with us. That's the important thing.
What you have there is some fine-looking dope in late-stage flowering. It is not uncommon for plants to look beat up and deficient/burned when they are about to get harvested. The plant is putting its energy into making the flowers, not the leaves. Those leaves are probably brittle and easy to break? Maybe dry? Point is, don't worry about it. Even if previous grows looked 'better.'
No idea about flushing. I don't.
 
I haven't posted in a while and could use some advice. I have a clone that is in it's last 10 days of flower and it's showing signs of nute burn. I've already flushed it once. My question is how often should I flush before harvest. I've attache dsome pictures
WHat is EC? I've been giving it the recomended 4mL/L of water of Advanced Nutrients plus other supplements.

THanks, Gingerbeard. I started her in October and she took. Didn't feel the need for advice since she was doing well.
 
EC is a measure of nute strength, specifically the electrical conductivity of a solution which is pretty much a measure of the salts in the water.....its a great way to measure it.

4ml/ltr means nothing to me because I don't know what the 4ml is made of. Others here with experience of using those specific nutes can probably help there.

The reason I wanted to know exactly what you are using and how much is from there I can come up with a workable solution...."other suppliments" doesn't help either.

So at a guess you have too much N but I am not sure cause you won't tell me what you're using.

The leaf damage on the buds is also consistent with light issues, not enough relative to EC causing that die back which is also a nute burn.

I wouldnt flush unless I was sure I had nute toxicity going on.

It's the last ten days, so I flushed it.
 
I wouldnt but your call.

I think you have too much N. I'd cut everything you can with N and go PK heavy, around half strength according to the manufacturers instructions and keep them going.

Guessing when harvest will be ready a week or two out is not easy.
 
Danger Will Robinson! Those timelines are guidelines with much room for give-and-take. Judge harvest time by the trichomes, not what the breeders say. That information is all best-case-scenario.
Figure a bunch of us are growing seeds from the same plant. Some harvest a week before or a week after others. Harvest time is all about trichome color and what the grower wants from his dope. Say, uplifting vs. couch locking.
 
You need to talk to your plants and listen for them to tell you they are ready. If they aren't ready, then they aren't ready. The breeder schedules are bs.
 
Nope. All part of the end of life process. Just let them naturally fall off.

As has been mentioined, use the trichome coloring to determine your harvest time. Any chance we can get a super close up of the some of the areas of trichomes to see how close you are?
 
Tomorrow is today. Here she is. also attached is burnt bud pre-trimmed back.

So this is a bit disheartening. My first attempt at cloning looks like a bit of a fail. She was doing so well. I've been flushing her for two weeks almost and she's got loads of nute burn. I'm thinking of going another week then harvesting. I think I may go straight into the butter machine and make a tincture and then turn that into RSO.

What were you feeding her? Did you test for EC?

Looks like you may have a bit of hermie/seeding or something going on with the flowers too.

Two weeks of flushing. and you've still got dying leaves up top of the flowers. Did it completely stop growing? That sort of die back I have seen when experimenting with my girls..mostly lack of light or broken stems....very weird.

I was giving her the recommended dosage of 4mL/L of food from the Advanced Nutrients brand of Coco coir food and the 2mL/L of supplements. I wouldn't know how to test for EC or even what to do with the results if I did know what to do with them. I believe I had backed off the nutes and gave a 75% reduction in nutes a few posts ago. She was doing so well. I guess my question is why could I feed her a seemingly healthy volume of food and show positive results in the beginning, but then in the home stretch, it gets overdone.
