I can't take pics today due to a torn ankle, but need some advice as I have burned my plants. If some of the leaves are toast on a plant (and I mean toast) is it better to let them die on the plant to keep the burn to that location or remove them to keep the burn from spreading? Been Flushing.

if your flushing then its why they are dying. is this a final flush or emergency flush

Well I guess you would call it an emergency flush. But I have been flushing on my regular watering schedule. There was definate nute burn. The plant is gonna live...it's just got a lot of ugly spots. What do you do with these.

Angel that is my question. The leaves are worthless. Does cutting them have any effect on the extent of further burn or the plant? Or does it not matter?

canna bible says cut them when they are 50% gone...i think if you leave them till you fix the problem fewer leaves will be effected...

no, cut off any damaged leaves. pruning when properly done actually promotes and stimulates growth. especially when done on damaged leaves. cut the whole leaf though not just the damaged part of the leaf. If you just cut the damaged part you have really just re-damaged the leaf in a new part, the yellow/dead area will slowly grow and the leaf will eventually die(most likely). Once you clip it the plant will shoot up a few more in no time to take its place. Nute burn is just one of those learning curve mistakes we all gotta make. sounds like your girl will hopefully recover though. good luck
