First Grow! Any advice or comments?

I wanna know if i should wait and keep flushing, or water normally. Is there anything i can do to maybe help the ladies out in this last week/2 weeks. I havent been adding any nutrients, just flushing, for 2 weeks now, maybe closer to 3.

I would try normal water for a couple times and observe them. They will get better, worse or stay the same and if worse maybe do a heave flush with 5 times normal water. I just don't know if you can flush out time release nutes. Keep loving them and learn from this experience.

Haha i don't think the Osmocote is the problem, It could be a contributor but i think what Poisoned them was excessive molasses. I put a tablespoon or 2 in each gallon 1/2 of water EVERY watering (4 or 5 total over the course of a week 1/2)

My girls didn't like molasses very much either. That sounds like too much I have seen 1/2 to 1 T per gal. I think I read that the molasses is for the soil microbes and would be more beneficial in organic living soil type of farming. I have also read that some molasses has sulphur and is no good for plants or soil. I would think that after several flushes the molasses would be gone by now and it's the N toxicity that is causing the claw and is hurting the health of them. Again I'm no expert. I hope they perk up and give some nice buds to you though.

Well guys, this is it! I chopped and trimmed my girls up today. If anyone has some good recipes so i can use these trimmings for butter, that'd be appreciated! As always, any questions, comments or concerns would be greatly appreciated. It was a fun little experiment, on to the next batch

P.S. If anyone could still try and give me a diagnosis of them before i chopped? Was it the molasses, Osmocote, or something else entirely..?

Well guys, here's the final product. I did have a question though... a week, maybe 2, before the chop i smelled them and they smelled like dank ass kush.
Now that they're in the jar they just smell super sweet. It looks like good bud being as it's covered in shiny little trichome crystals, but i don't smell that oh familiar smell and the bud is very light and fluffy. Feels almost weightless or hollow.
1. Did the molasses do that? Is that ok?

2. I also had a question about the orange hairs... Any bud i've ever seen or had all had the red/orange hairs retracted onto the bud, if that makes sense. But my bud's hairs are all over the place like Einsteins hair!

3. Will the hair retract with time during my 3 week curing? or is that some bad thing that isn't supposed to happen..?

As always, thanks in advance and i welcome and questions, comments, or concerns. Stay high guys.

Meow.....

Dry it before you bottle it up to prevent mold.
In my experience.....not sure about your nute regiment, but once it's dried and cured a little you should be able to smell that once you break into a nug probably.
Be sure to burp her everyday too when curing IMHO.
The pistols should retract when drying has occurred, but I have had crazy hairs before all good.
Try not to use direct fan/wind on it to stop acceleration. Your bud will smell like hay.

Just a few tip.

Alot of molasses has roundup herbicide in it. Most cane is burned down now a days with roundup so they can mechanically cut it and not bring so much leaf to the mill.

A good organic molasses or even real organic browns sugar might be recommended instead.
