I see tip burn which is probably a little much nitrogen right where i like it a very little tip burn says your pushing it to its limit. But not to far in my opinion. The light color could be cal mag use a cal mag with iron again opinion.
Get more pics maybe some of whole plant. For better diagnosis. Also fill out a support ticket. Help for better understanding

And a pic from now

The burnt leaf tips are ok, most likely from the seedling or early veg stage. Have you followed FFs recommendations for flushing? Their Trio is notorious for salt and mineral build up in the root zone locking out nutrient uptake :love_you_gesture: she looks a little light on potassium and phosphorus

Yeah , plant looks great in the second photo. You also mentioned sledgehammer If you used this product you would need to come back with feed. As @OGIncognito mentioned Showing a bit hungry. Follow up check your PPM run off an also PH Make adjustments accordingly. Just my thoughts good luck

She looks great. The buds you can see in the first pic look pretty far along, so the burnt tips are fine. Most growers like to see this progress slowly as the plants mature because it means they are getting full of everything they need to get nice and fat. As long as you aren’t developing dark or light spots, the leaves aren’t clawing down and the burn isn’t progressing very fast, they’re fine.

Edit… Like @OGIncognito stated, if you’re going to do a flush, give a full strength feed as soon as the pot stops draining.

Don’t panic rush after you flush her, but yes. After it finishes draining follow up full strength. Do you have current pics of the full plant? And a couple bud shots?

I would add a dose of recharge or Mykos. Those essential microbes were washed away with the flush. Very important Fungi and bacteria that collect and store nutrients to feed those ladies :love_you_gesture:

All good advice above flush then ff nutes 1200 to 1700 ppm mykos and don’t forget the cal mag + iron allways cal mag +iron with fox farms.
Would still like some good pics though.
