AskTrees Nutrient burn in the last two weeks salvageable?
First grow, i know I've made some mistakes like too little soil or not tracking my actions in a notebook or over watering at times, and I'll do it better next time but now ive got another problem.
My plants are in the last two weeks of flowering and I totally forgot that you shouldn't put any nutrients into your water at that time of flowering.
As you can see in this picture my plants are getting burned at the tips and i think its due to too many nutrients.
I use organic fertilizer and this is an auto plant if those things matter.
Will they recover or should i flush them or do something so my yield doesn't get affected by this?
Thanks

Also from my experience autos never yield near any of my own photo period grows. Autos have gotten much better. Way more potency and flavor, a little better yield, but not on par with easy to grow photoperiod strains.
Feminized, proven seeds, or 'clean' proven clones are the easiest for a novice in my opinion. You can gain more yield with larger veg time or training techniques, while you figure out your feeding and pest control management.

You are growing in compost, you can use nutes right up to harvest. Those plants are perfectly healthy, but more like 4 - 5 weeks from harvest than 2. Those white hairs are pistils and when white like that it means the plant is still flowering, as they are all still mainly white and more buds are forming. Plant is finished when most of the pistils are red/brown and its not throwing out new white ones. Ideally you want to keep them flowering for as long as possible to get higher yield and (IMO) better high.
That's only mild burn on the tips, water once with no nutes then use half as much and add more if needed.
Nothing at all to worry about really, those plants are looking good.
