Nute burn while flowering

ok my plant is 23 days into flowering, i gave it miracle grow 15-30-15 1/4 the amount and the next 2 days i saw nute burn on the leaves, so i flushed it down and trimmed the brown burnt spots on the leaves. 3 days later my plant continued to burn so i flushed it again(2 liter bottle), and i made sure it drained nicely. so my question is will this slow down the flowering process?
is there anything else i could do to save it? i have not fed it nutes ever since so its been two weeks no nutes

how big is yur plant and how big is yur pot , because in a 20 liter pot 2 liter water flushing is not verry much.
and my advice always is , never use the full dose thats writen on the bottle , because full dose in combination with a bad state soil wil make bad plants :)
greets and try to make some pics .

isn't the amount of water to flush is 5 times the size of your pot. i.e. if you have your plant in a one gallon container you should flush w/ 5 gallons of water! now thats to do a real good flush. if you have a ppm meter just flush till you reach the ppm's you want. also once you do flush remember your plant will probably need nutes once she dries out. next time you fertilize cut it in half. go 1/8 strenght!! wish you the best.

im using mg soil mixed with a generic potting brand. my plant is 5 month old so wouldn't the nutrients in the soil be used up already? i barely ever used nutes on the first and second week of flowering and used 1/4 the amount and the third time i feed the plant i noticed burns (feed every 7 days) other than that never used nutrients at all.

my pot is not very big, nor is my plant, the pot is not even a gallon, so should i flush the plant again right now when the soil is still wet from yesterdays flushing or should i wait until the soil gets dry?

the brown is mostly on the 3 bottom leaves and there is about %40 green remaining, the rest of the leaves have brown on the edges on it. should i remove the bottom leaves to allow more light to reach the low bud sites or will that cause spreading on the top leaves?

thanks!

You gotta post a pic. You have a five month old plant that you say is not very big. I bet if you change a few things, maybe pot size, lighting, etc you can salvage so yield out of that girl (has it shown sex yet)

ah oki you didnt tell all this before , 5 months is realy old , you should feeding it.
i use myself 6.5 liter pots with some premix soil i buy at a growshop here and its pretty good it got about ec 1.4 , and i dont think yur soil got those nice valeus ,but i need to start feeding after 4-5 weeks , so i guess you are a bit to late , but not to late to fix things , if you cant find any vitamins , then use the regular plant vitamins , you can buy in any store , and start feeding , if i was you i would start with half doses thats writen on the bottle , just to see how it goes and not over feed them.

sorry guys i cant find my camera, but when i do ill post a pic up.

my plant is 24 days into flowering so i can see clusters of white hairs, crystals and even premature buds on the toppest part of the plant. it looks NICE!
there are leaves growing in the middle of the plant, are those good enough to support my plant incase my fan leaves die out which they currently are?

here is an old pic 14 days into flowering
kinda give you an idea of what my plant looks like exept withought the burned leaves

im noticing a little more burning on the tips of the upper inner leaves as well as my few remaining fan leaves. looks to me as a nute burn... now what should i do because i heard if i flush my organic 10-5-5 mg soil it will release all the nutes at once! i dont want that to happen it will just get worse, most likely die. so is there anything else i could do to stop the nute burning when im not even feeding it nutes!? its now 36 days flowering
