Almost harvist starting to flush

[Cocoa0069]

I have some White Castle that i'm gonna harvest next week. I started flushing it 2 weeks ago. 1.5 galls with .5 TBLS of molasses the ph dropped major it's getting rust spots and leaves are dying it's about 30% clear and 80% cloudy 10% amber . I figure the rest well amber up by next week. It's only in the to leaves and some middle the buds are nice and hard and smell great kind of like skunk with a hint of mint and pine. should i give is some nutes??

Is it an indica dominate strain? (8-10 week flower time?)
How long has she been flowering?
Why did you stop the nutes two weeks ago?
What does she look like now? (weird leaves, yellowing, leaf-edge browning or yellowing...)

The idea behind flushing is to 'clean' the soil of nutes so the lady will use her own 'in-house' resources. You are flushing the soil, not the plant. But if you flush too early, growth and development decreases, and stress increases.

I'd lke to say I'd avoid the additional nutes at this point, but is depends on what they look like, and the answers to the questions.

It's a Sativa and it's 10.5 weeks into flower I started flushing 2 weeks ago cause I was going to harvest last Saturday but notice the buds started to fill out more and it grew taller so I just let it go and held off harvest for next week the leaves are getting rust spots all over them starting in the middle of the leaf and working outwards The the leaves are browning and dying the leaf edges are fine still green. I'm thinking root rot. This is the first grow I've grown in grow bags.

If she's got a few weeks left in her I'd start the nutes again. Give 1/2 dose, see how she reacts. A couple of days later give her the other half.

Make sure you are getting water all the way to the lower roots. This late in flower you don't really want to underwater, but avoid overwatering, too. If the pot feels much lighter than it really should, she needs water soon.

Letting her fill-in is likely a good idea. Watch her reaction to the first dose of nutes, and if no improvement you can fill-out the troubleshooting form and we'll dig a little deeper.

Usually I flush 3 days before harvest, plain ph'd water from then till harvest.
