Watering after nute burn

Hey guys, the tips of the leaves are slightly burnt from too many nutrients, not enough that it's a real concern but enough that I noticed it... Next time I water I'm only going to use straight water, but I've just started using molasses and I was wondering if it's OK to still use molasses for the next watering and no additional nutrients? I don't see it being any problem but I just wanted to make sure...
Thanks!

You shouldn't feed back to back anyway. No the mollasses won't hurt, its works more by keeping soil healthy. What soil are you using?

They seemed to do good with feeding back to back, however the last couple of times I gave a little too much than I should have, mostly because they had been taking it so good lol. But I think you're right, every other watering seems like a good idea from now on. I'm using sunshine #4

Thanks for the reply

No prob, and good luck.
The reason for the staggered feeding schedule is so that the plant has a chance to use up the nutrients in soil so you dont get a salt build up,. Which can lead to nightmares.Depending on how long your going to veg you may still wanna do a flush.

I'm actually halfway through flowering right now... Does that change anything? I'm definitely going to use plain water tomorrow and stagger them from now on. Thanks again man I appreciate it

If they seem to be ok, i would just back down on the nutes a lil and start staggering feeding.
As for the final flush, you will hear anywhere from no flush to 2 or 3 wks. lol
