Hey guys wondering if i should flush my plant? Has a bit of N toxicity at day 18 of flower, has pretty much stopped stretching.
Few clawing leaves and minor tip burn on a few fan leaves
If i flush should i add molasses for the entire flush or just the last liter?

(p.s.) title should say week 4 instead 3 lol

Pics would help!

All depends on what your soil is? You feeding synthetics? Organic?

Could be slow releasing nitrogen for all I know..

If you’re feeding synthetics you’re in the same boat I was. After the stretch the 3-3-4 formula was too high in nitrogen. I just used plain water for while but also added some PK since the plant was budding.

But it really depends on how bad your toxicity is. If it’s really bad then you might need to flush!

You're over watering and feeding too strong. Lower your EC a bit and water less frequently.

What's your feeding schedule like?

*Edit: You don't need to flush just leech out excess salts with plain water next watering then move forward from there.

Water, molasses water, feed, repeat. It's veg was just water when top inch of soil was dry

Haven't figured out when to water it yet cuz it grew 2.5x size in 3 weeks lol

1) Let the pots dry out more.
2) Lower your nutrient concentrations (EC/ppm)
3) ONLY flush when you royally fuck up. Flush is not needed here.

Less is more. The plant will always tell you when she needs more or less of something. She's telling you now to give her less water (overall droop) and less nutrients (Dark green leaves, burnt leaf tips) With experience you'll learn to read your plants so for now keep watching and notice the changes.
