So im about 7 weeks into flowering and everything was going great until a wk ago I started getting early signs of nutrient burn on the tips of the leaves so I added a few gal of distilled water to my reservoir and the problem continued so I did a complete water change, flushed them and I am only giving the clean PH'ed water. The nute burn stopped but a day later my fan leaves started yellowing and dying. I'm used to this happening on the lower parts of the plant that don't get as much light but most of them all the way to the top are still yellowing n dying. I have cloudy trichomes but not seeing any amber ones yet, feel like I have alteast another week or 2 to go but the fan leaves are making me nervous. Should I go ahead and harvest now or is this normal in some strains for the fan leaves to do this??

All of the sugar leaves n most of the tiny fan leaves on and around the buds still look pretty good!!
Thanks in advance n happy holidays to all!!

I dont know anything about hydro but I do know your plants are not done.

I also know that most anything can be fixed with the right steps.

Dont give up on it and wait for someone who knows hydro to chime in.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait the fk up a minute so you had minor nutrient burn and your plan is too run pure water? This will ruin your end quality by the time you are done I have been running hydro for years(not coco) get nutrients back into your reservoir asap your plants are eating all of the stored nutrients in your leaves fool
In hydro when I want too chop I run a flushing agent for 6 hours and than pure water for 6 more hours(not coco) AND UR RUNNING PURE WATER FOR DAYS ON END????????????????????????
Also what is your setup? RDWC?
please take pictures of your nutrient regimen

So the leaves were yellowing b4 I went to just water everything was pointing too them being close to done but I firppst just diluted the nute solution in my reservoir with fresh distilled water 2 days then I flush with water only for 2 days b4 I got your reply I then immediately added a worm casting and bat quantity tea as well as a small amount floralicious bloom n calimagic. Yes running RDWC but still pretty new to hydro was under the impression I need to flush at least 2 days. I will say the yellowing only stopped after I flushed with only water but all the bigger n lower fans are still dying off which is normal. I started with the recommended amounts on the flora series performance pack box and have pretty much just adjusted it as I go based on their reaction

These are not the most clear pics but you can see the Triches are def turning that amber color n most if not all have gotten cloudy. I am now at 8 wks 3 days flowering is it safe to say they are ready?? I don't want to harvest early but also don't wanna harvest too late either should I let them go a lil longer?? If they are ready now n i let them go another 4 days or so how much will that affect them?? I will only flush completely for 12-24 hrs this time...I really appreciate the feedback
