Signs Of Over-nute 1 week After Flushing, was flushing the cause?

I flushed my plant before going on holiday, then asked a friend to water 3L everyday with light basic nutrients due to a lockout caused by using too much phosphoric acid pH down.

I came back expecting improvement but things have gotten a lot worse.

Not sure if the yellowing of leaves is also caused by natural nute uptake by plant at the beginning of the end stages of flowering?

Did flushing make the situation worse somehow?

Pictures before and after one week if being away.

If your using nutes your not flushing.

The flushing was just with tap water pH 7. But afterwards I was concerned that the plant had been lockout of cal/mag so used this post-flushing as I saw what I presumed to be cal/mag deficiency.

Does that make sense? Or do people only ever use water only after a flush? Again this was a flush because of overnutes and not a preharvest flush.

Cheers bud, I do kinda agree with the overwatering, do you think it would wise to use a chop stick to make a few deep holes into the soil to get air down to the roots? I really don't want to re-pot it right now it's like a week and half from harvest.

Looks like more than a week and half to go. I'd let it go for a while still because the pistils still look big and white

Thank you bud, I've just taken some steps to dry her out. 1. Raised the fabric pot on to a metal grate pop up shelf. Put a fan directly under it. 3. Carefully inserted some chop stick holes down into the roots, careful not to break any roots.

Been so overly attentive that I've damaged her and given bad instructions to a friend over the last week of me not being around.

Cheers

I feel like putting a fan directly on the bottom of your fabric pot is a bad idea, you want it to dry out on its own. Idk maybe someone else knows more on it. It just sounds like a bad idea to me.

It's a fair concern, but the way I see it is it's just a little USB fan and all that excess water will be sinking to the bottom and I wanna get it out as quick as possible. Definitely won't be leaving it there indefinitely, over night I think it will benefit ;)

They have a lot of time till the end bro! And also I do not think its lockout either. Also not nut burn. This is probably as guys said bad watering practice, throw that cheapo out of the window and do not use it anymore! Just lift your pots to feel if they are empty and dry already. If you do not believe your judgement, leave the pots dry out untill you see a small sign of dropping, than put it on scale and you will see what is you dry pot weight. You will probably get learn very fast how to determine it by lifting than measuring the weight but you can try it first to get imagination how long does it takes to dry out. 3 litres per day is too much I think!!! But this damage could be also caused by too strong air flow straight to the plant...

Thank you for the info, yea the little cheapo device isn't pulling it's weight to be honest, I use it for pH level as well and have never felt that it wasn't very responsive or accurate.
The weighing of the unit is a great idea I will do this is the future. Gonna let my girl dry out well over the next few days. When I do water it she'll have some root boost and nothing else I guess as it's quite close to harvesting.
The air flow could be another issue as she has an oscillating fan on it 24/7, it's a distance away and on lowest setting but I think I might turn it off to see if I get any improvements because of that.

Never use it for pH levels!!! For humidity in the pot can be OK but for pH for sure NOT!!!
