Strawberry gum, ready to cut nutes?

[Frankly420]

Hello everyone,

I've lurked on the forum for a while learning a great deal in the process and I thank you all.

This is my first grow and I would like a little help if possible. This is a Strawberry Gum auto from advanced seeds. It is on day 60 since sprout and has been under a Spiderfarmer SF1000 and a blurple 100 watt led, on a 20/4 light cycle the entire time.

I've done LST and it has been fed all purpose fertiliser (7.3.5) quarter strength building up to half strength. I added PK boost (0.14.15) since flowering and epsom salts every now and then. Its a soil grow (30% perlite) and the feedings are between 6.0 and 6.4 PH.

The seed packet suggests 8 to 10 weeks (currently 8 weeks & 4 days) I'm planning on letting it go to 10 at least. My question is would now be a good time to start cutting the food out and just water when needed?

Isn't flushing pseudoscience?

I don't mean flushing in the typical sense of pouring litres of water through it until run off to clear the soil. I fed the plant a small amount every few days but never until there was any run off, as you can see in the picture the plant has nute burn on the tips and a few patches on the leaves.

I was thinking more along the lines of just giving it water to use whatever is left in the soil so it doesn't progress to burning the sugar leaves etc this close to finishing.
