What to do?

Hey everyone. The picture you see is of a 5' tall Hawaiian Snow from Greenhouse. It has been in flowering for 10 weeks, but I figure it could use one more. I flushed it with Final Phase and quite a bit of water the other day after hitting it hard with other Advanced Nutrients products for weeks. I looked at it the next day and it looked burnt as shit!!! It has been about the same distance from the light the whole time, so I don't think the light caused it, but it looks too burnt for nute burn. Will it decline ever farther? Or should I let it mature a while longer?

Should be fine..

More Input Please.....

Input: IMO you risk losing THC now and probably have nothing to gain by waiting. Stick a fork in it. Act accordingly.

It wouldn't be an entirely bad idea to harvest now even iff the plant will survive. The weed gets me super extra high! I just don't understand why this happened. I gave them some more nutes after the flush. Could it be that before I flushed I had a nute lockout, but after I flushed and gave them nutes that it fucked them? I don't wanna make this mistake again.

why in the world would you give them more nutes if you were doing your final flushing? that defeats the purpose of flushing does it not? due to it being close to done or done if you gave it alot of nutes right now it probably wouldnt need as much due to the fact growth is slower during the alst stage of flowering and it may not be usuing the nutes you gave it and they are in turn burning your plant because it can no longer process such strong amounts of nutrients...

I also wondered why any nutes were added after a final flush. So when you say added nutes (OP), does that mean you returned the nute level to where it was, or elevated it even higher? If the latter that probably explains it but if the former, the plant didn't know it was a final flush so returning nutes doesn't explain it. many feeding schedules call for nutes to be tapered off as final flush approaches.

It wasn't intended as a final flush. It was intended to allow the plant to receive nutrients more efficiently (removing salt build-ups) for a few more days and then was supposed to come the "final" flush. It may have been a dumb idea, but it sounded intuitive to me. I was only going to flush for three days, not for that entire week left. I apologize for not specifying this earlier, I was high and tired. It seems I have gotten my answer though.

I should also mention I did this same thing to a Blue Hash plant from Dinafem and it looks great, but it is mostly indica, so it might be more tolerable. I thought a sativa like Hawaiian Snow, if anything, would have balls of steel and be able to take it.

Sativas can be a little touchy to things such as nutes. They are less touchy to things such as heat. this may be due to sativas coming from tropical regions where the soil is known to be less than great so they have evolved to use less nutrients, and with it being warm all year they have evolved to be more heat tolerant.

Interesting point Mkay.
