Very End Flower Nute Lock?

Hello,

Not a newbie this is my 5th grow.. had 1 year off growing due to house issues so yeah.

Am very end of flower (pulling on Sunday). I have leaf burn issues as of the last two weeks.. I
accidently ran ppm too high (900 .5 scale) at one stage and it burnt the tips.. corrected it within a few
days.. For some reason my leaves are still burning up.. I thought it was still a ppm problem, but it's not..

From the research I have done have come to conclusion the it's nute lockout..

PPM is 500 @ .5 (Filtered rain water -- 200ppm cal/mag -- rest is grow solution)
PH is 5.8 - 6.2

Apparently I need to "flush" with only ph'd water to "reset the plants" then continue growing..

Only have three days left
They smell great and are drinking heaps
10% of leaves are very bright yellow/burn colour.. seems to be getting worse even with
perfect nute solution.

Should I do this flush thing now for one full day then normal feeding then pull or just leave it, seeing as though they smell fine?

85% pilstols are brown and shriveled
90% Trichomes are Cloudy
5% Trichomes are Clear
5% Trichomes are Amber

Please note I don't do an actual flush with 0 ppm water.. I just run the ppm under 500 for the last
few days, dry/cure properly and has always smoked perfectly.

Thank You

If you only have three days left have you thought the plant might just be finishing off at her own rate? I wouldn't go fucking around with things this late in the game , you'll only pull them fans off when you chop her down anyway. So no big deal.

Nice grow :bigjoint:

No I haven't thought of that... It's been a year since iv'e grown and i'm stressing that's all.. This is the first grow I have been keeping an
eye on trichomes with a proper magnifying glass.. which has brought me up to 11 weeks flower (used to do 7 - 8 weeks
only then pull, judging by pistols.. ) .. I'll just leave it.. Cheers Mate for your reply.

Is it possible those leafs got too hot/light too close? Flushing is controversial but I see no reason to continue feeding them now save the cash. Definitely remove dead leaves from the plant as she finishes and don't forget to keep them for compost.

Hey,

Light definitely isn't too close.. had zero issues first 6 weeks flower, leaves were perfect.. only recently.. light hasn't moved since I started.

Do you mean remove all those burned leaves now?? When I dry I usually hang with all leaves on.. but they are a bit fcked I guess.

Thank You

No problem, you can remove those burnt leafs it won't hurt anything now or you could just leave them on but if they're blocking light to a smaller bud then that bud could have the light for the last few days.

Yeah only if they are paper dry go ahead and remove them. Light distance is related to temperature so if it gets hotter in my grow I have to back the lights up.
