You have 4k posts and have been here for 10 years and are asking that? Feel free to give it a try and update the thread on it; what I imagine you will find is the sound of your leaves raining down, dropping onto the floor. If you search Google for something like 'cannabis tissue analysis for macronutrients' you will see graphs that show the plant actually absorbs very little P in veg and flower.
I used the 9-59-8 on my two plants in flower. About two or three watering for the OG Kush CBD. Only one it seem to really shock badly. The one on the left the mystery strain I’ve given it to every watering for weeks about every ten days. Started using it three weeks into flower lol. I know this isn’t recommended by a lot of people but one of the dudes at the store said to apply from three weeks on and then another dude said apply last three weeks of flower. That’s the opposite of what the other says lol. I think these plants are going to be fine I’m not sure what lock out they e experienced if any but the stuff definitely didn’t make the leaves rain down and I used it full strength a few times. I didn’t try this to be contrary to anyone’s advice, I hadn’t been told not to use it, and by the time I was told this is unnecessary/bad it was too late and I felt like continuing its use to see what would happen. The buds seem fine, big and fruity smelling should be done in the next few weeks for sure.

Only way you learn is if you try man. They look fine.you are almost there.
Look like you burnt some leaves, but the overall plant will finish and finish strong. I still would like to see you take it a couple weeks past the breeders harvest date with distilled or ro water only.

So like does anyone believe in flushing because I don’t think I do. Fed the mystery plant that’s closer to being done but kept it low on the n. Not too worried about it, if the bud is harsh I’ll learn my lesson. It has some pretty fresh looking white hairs throughout it still so I’m not sure it’s finished putting on weight. Today is day 49 flower for it.

If you are still concerned with this
I’m actually wondering if they’re too dark green? Do they look right? I mean the one on the left still has pretty dark green leaves and it should be done I think in like a couple weeks. I have heard that at the end of flowering if they’re pretty dark green that can be a bad thing and could indicate there being too much nitrogen and it making the smoke harsh
Then flush or take it a week or 2 no food.
I don't flush. Let alone try to flush 10 gallons. Internet folklore says use 3x water the pot size.:shock:

Most people try to feed light enough where it's not needed or causes problems.

9-59-8 When does this need to be used?...

When you're a noob.
I know you either don’t know anything about this stuff worth my time listening to you or that if you do know anything, it amounts to very little worth to you and honestly anyone else because you aren’t being a very nice or friendly person certainly not helpful here so you must not really be recieving much medicinal benefit of whatever it is you’re growing. Or you have some problems that this plant can’t help. If you have any knowledge on the subject of growing, how sad because it isn’t helping you be a nicer person.How unfortunate. Haha.

What is fortunate though is that I'm a seasoned grower that doesn't get P burn/lockout issues due to not using a stupidly idiotic 9-59-8 wacky ratio;-)
I’m not saying that isn’t something to be proud of, and I would bet you can grow better than I can and a lot of people that are just starting, but seriously chill with the rude elitist pot grower guy stuff.

Everyone and their brother before you has came on here and told me not to EVER use it lol. I have read the general opinion of folks on here loud and clear. Got some jacks 321 I’m going to be using now. I will be okay man, I’m not a dumbass like you may have thought.

Take my advice or don't, if you don't then you will burn your plants, fact.
