Nitrogen burn..?

Okay, so plants were looking plenty healthy, everything was going great, and then I had to go out of town for a month I had to have a friend feed it for me and tried to make the instructions as simple as possible.

Currently in week 7 of flowering, I feel like the buds are small for this stage too so if I could get some feedback on how thick the buds should be at this stage I’d also appreciate that.

Average day temp is 78-80 degrees F, I know it’s a little high but can’t help it, night temp closer to 70, humidity 40-50% never outside of that, gets plenty of light from a big LED (not too much I’m sure of that) it’s a hempy bucket setup so overwatering isn’t an issue, full strength GH nutes.

I USUALLY feed 3 times with nutes and 1 time only water, during this month I had the guy only feed with nutes because I didn’t want to have to explain too much and I thought it would be fine, the leaves look shriveled up, like they aren’t as big or as thick, the tips are curled and yellow/crispy and some of the leaves are yellow and crispy, I’m thinking nutrient burn. The PH was around 5.60-5.70 for that month of feedings, I know that’s low but I figured it was in an acceptable range. As soon as I got back it got 6.50 PH only water, I’m a few days into week 7 so I’ll probably start giving only water anyways.

What do you guys think? Last picture has hand in photo (I have big hands) for size reference of buds, also, there were worse off leaves but I already cut them and discarded

Best guess would be nitrogen toxicity. If it were me, I'd flush until they finish. Prolly 4 to 6 more weeks. Just IMO

They’re at 7 weeks now, you think they have 4-6 left? Also what do you think of the bud size? Stunted from the stress?

I would just to try to get the plant to use up all that nitrogen. Buds look like they are still maturing and throwing off new growth. If it were me, I would start flushing and give her more time to finish.

I’ll take your advice then and just watch the trichomes and see when the plant is ready
