this is my first time with fox farm nutes and ive been following the soil feeding schedule for the 2 or so mos they have been in the grow phase and now 10 days into the flower phase. I didn’t do and of the sludge flushes and in just starting to see the first signs of nute burn. ive stopped the nutes for a few weeks but my question is, will this be enough? do I need to flush them with water or the sledge hammer? or will they be ok backing off the nutes. like I said, is just showing on a few leaves. cant even get a good pic of it
After reading the first sentence YES flush and fast. Yes use sledgehammer water alone won’t work . Flushing now will save the grow but don’t wait @oldpro

What is showing on a few leafs now will be the whole plant next week. She has a lock out not letting her drink what you are given her and forcing her to cannibalize her self and you don’t want that till the end of the grow.

In my experience a flush is necessary
If your going to use sledge hammer mix
And use 1 gallon per pot if 5 gal pots let sit for 1/2 hour and flush with 2-3gallons ph water
Good luck @oldpro

they are in 20 gal pots. and from full dry, they hold about 2.6 gal before it starts running out the bottom
I also just watered them with straight water last night and they take 7 days to dry out. so, I guess just hit them with 3-4 gal of hammer letting excess run out bottom, then let stand 1/2 hr and flush??
this is going to be really inconvenient as I have to remove the scrog net and lug those heavy girls to a shower drain 
I put mine in plastic storage totes and use shop vac on run off

Mine are Sat on small raised wooden beds that I can fit an under bed storage bin, so if I have to flush I can just syphon out, as it pours in.
Now the house is carpet free (dogs), the vax hasn’t been in wet mode for 4 years. I don’t even know where the wet bits are. Probably buried in the shed.
ok. got the flush and ill flush them in 4 hrs when the light comes on and see if that helps. something that entered my mind, yn the first month or so of their life I tried a new product on the advise of my local grow shop. this pictured product with a few tablespoons of molasses in each gallon. the molasses is supposed to be food for the bacteria. could the molasses sugars be giving me probs? i haven’t used it in a month. https://www.plant-success.com/product/plant-success-soluble/
I’m guessing that’s nute crisped!!
So I would use maybe 3-4 gallons of the sledgehammer mix then and maybe give a little water first to dampen soil
I use 25 gal fir outdoors myself woohoo
