Should I start feeding again?

[BuzzIightyear]

Hey guys

I am currently doing my first grow ever, and I have a question.

Two weeks ago, about 20% of the pistils on the plant were orange so I gradually
diminished the doses of nutrients. It's been one week with plain water only.

Though, new white hair keep growing and the plant still doesn't look ready to harvest.
The trichomes are about 50% cloudy and 50% clear.
The plant is clearly not ready for harvest, but it also has no more nutrients to grow.

Do you guys think I should start feeding them again to give them energy to keep growing ?
I'm afraid that doing so would result in a pretty harsh smoke..

Here are a few pictures of the plants this morning, as you can see the leafs already started to fade, which would have been perfect if I wanted to harvest now. I'm just wondering if they will have enough nutrients in their leafs to finish flowering.

Note: I did not flush since it's my first grow and I want to be able to compare the smoke from flushed/non-flushed plants

So what do you guys say, should I feed these babies ?

Thanks

Hello Buzz!

You could give one last feed, but as you already mentioned, depending on whether your nutes are organic or chemical you could end up with a nasty tasting/burning end product. It looks as if you might have to flush to rid the plant of residue....

Absolutely no more feeding. Just straight PH's water so far tho, you're in the home stretch!
