Flowering plant losing leaves,HELP

[smoky anda bandit]

Hey fellow growers, I did something stupid in haste. I used baking soda as ph up and now leaves are drying, turning brown and dying. My girl has 3 weeks of flower left, and im not sure if i shoud just cut her down now or wait the 3 weeks. any opinions?

Don't cut it, if you do you might as well go smoke some leaves off a tree. These next few weeks are the most important. If anything just flush it with pure water.

the buds are nicely developed and have lotsa trichomes, just the bigger leaves are dying.

[Tater]

If the trichomes aren't ready to harvest then don't harvest. You need a microscope or a magnifying glass if the I harvest at about 10 percent amber 50 percent cloudy. Its also normal for the plant to start losing its leaves late in flowering as it starts to cannibalize itself. Like I said before flush with PH'd water and you'll be fine, you'll need to start the flush soon anyways to remove all the nutrients from the bud before harvest or you'll end up with crappy product.

what do you mean bro,we discussed this already ina previous thread.we told you to just buy some ph up or ph down.remember?

i told you to get some ph up or down,even if it meant starvin the kittie

if you dont have any way ph up or down yet,just go to your grocery store and buy a gallon of ice mountain steam distilled,i've been usin it since i started experiencing problems with my r.o. water and its worked good.just use it str8 when flushing.they may get a lil droopy for a day or so,but will come back

Sorry A.I.D. ,I was talking more about the decision to cut her down now, not the other post. Thanks for all your help. Btw-i did buy some ph up and down, so im all set. I was just concerned about losing the buds by leaving them on the plant to long.

hey man, i got a sativa flowering right know and most of the leaves are turning brown, buds are still getting fat, she is to big for me to take to the tub and flush, i have just been feeding her water for the last few weeks and she has got more bud than i have ever got from one plant.. what i am trying to say is i dont know if flushing is the answer or if that is the way that strain matures....

[Tater]

If you've been feeding it just water for the last few weeks you are flushing it :p. Your welcome and good luck.
