Orange pistols calyxes not swollen

Oh shit wait a minute. Are you adding it to water and then watering the plants? Do you mix it fresh for each pot or make a big batch and then use that to water all the plants? If that's what's happening it all makes sense.

I top the plants with it never mixed with water

Ok. I couldn't figure out what you were saying. If you definitely gave them all the same that strain is just sensitive and doesn't want a lot of food.

That’s what I was guessing. My main question was harvesting. So I guess my plan is to remove those leaves and continue growing? My confusion was with the orange pistols. It seems like the stress caused the pistols to orange and the calyxes not to swell. Is there no point to letting it go since the pistols have mostly changed?

I wouldn't worry about removing any leaf with burn. Only if they start to die into the buds. Then let them go as long as long as they don't get super bad.

I just checked this morning and the leaves haven’t died into the buds. I also checked trichomes and they aren’t orange. Is it typical for the pistols to turn mostly orange/brown without orange trichomes? I’m wondering if the nutrient burn stress prevented the plant from producing more white pistols and aided in premature browning of older pistols. I’m definitely going to wait for swollen calyxes now. It appears the plant has stopped burning. I’m just on a time crunch now between balancing nutrients and natural leaf death. The bud smells great and very floral regardless. I could probably harvest now, but I do want to see if it’ll get a decent size.
