Rust (?) spots on leaves - last days flushing

Hey guys,

First grow here.
I’m leaving for vacation, I thought I’d harvest my plant before departure. I started flushing 1.5 weeks ago, noticed orange/rusty spots yesterday, mainly on small leaves on top.

Temp day: 24/25 C
Temp night: 18/19 C
Humidity between 50-60

Quite good ventilation, I have fans inside etc.

1) I thought it might be calcium deficit?
Any thoughts?

2) is it wise to try to save it if I wanted to cut it on Sunday?


Thanks for your time :) A7AD7625-0D7A-422E-9952-9289D7825525.jpeg

They look like they still have plenty of time before they finish so continue to feed right to the end of their life no need to flush. If you have been flushing for a week and a half you will see some leaves fading as they suck the reserve out of them to continue growing. Other than that they look fine.

If you need to harvest before vacation, I guess do what you gotta do. But if you harvest on Sunday I think it will dry down to mostly hairs and leaves and not much actual bud.

Two weeks of "flushing" or stopping nutes or whatever people do, seems like a dangerous game unless you have experience with a strain and know roughly how far it is from finishing. Otherwise you could start a "2-week flush" when the plant still has 6-8 weeks left before it's ripe...

Not even close to ready. You chop Sunday it's definitely not going to be very good smoke. Flushing it is doing exactly as the term sounds and flushing the nutrients away and the plant is feeling it. Not just the rust spots but also the yellowing inner portions of the leaves. That plant is going to need more time and nutrients. Honestly might be better off just letting it go while you're vacationing.

You correctly diagnosed a self-inflicted Calcium deficiency, that's a positive.

You have time for an extended vacation before that plant is done, maybe two vacations.

Your plant still has over a month left. Harvest if you must before you leave and chalk it up as a failed learning experience

Better luck next run.

Do not harvest! Its not even close. Dont waste your time or energy on it. Set up an automatic watering system for $30 bucks while your gone or get a friend to babysit. If u get a friend I suggest u grab a $20 baby/pet monitor so u can check on her and them while your gone. U got about 3-4 weeks left.

Thank you ALL for ALL the answers!

I will leave it for the time of absence, and arrange care. I go back to supplementation (I think to rather start with 0.5 dose than all at once in the first watering? - biobizz)

Btw - it is the 97th day since seed popped.

Thanks again,

Maybe forget the froyos and churros on your vacation and get a blumat drip system .
It would be a shame to go the distance , just to kneecap them.

Amazon has them , if you order fast.

Do you think I could leave water mixed with nutrients for two weeks? Or one week at least one week so someone refills it for me?
