wrinkles in leaves? Foxfarm Sledgehammer flush

First timer here and have a couple questions. One of the plants leaves have some wrinkles and bowed just a bit. What could be causing it? I will post a pic plus when using foxfarm sledgehammer flush, when do you start feeding again? The next day or hours after flushing?

Plant looks great?

Ok great. It just looked a little different than the others. Just making sure to catch something going on early than trying to nurse back. I am ready to use sledgehammer flush, when do I start feeding nutrients again? The next sceduled feeding or after flushing.

Yes, why the flush?

Following foxfarm soil feeding schedule

Hopefully you mean just a plain water watering, and not a flush.

Im going inbetween veg and flower.

Is that a hydro grow schedule? the ppm values look very high for soil, especially if you're using FFOF soil which already has nutrients in it. In week 8 it says goes as high as 2310ppm and that sounds crazy high. You're using soil which traps nutrients and you need to understand whether that soil has nutrients already.

It is the soil feeding schedule using fox farm ocean forest potting soil. I will check the one I have at home but pretty sure its the same one.

hmm for soil that has nutrients that's some hot schedule. it implies that the soil has no nutrients at all. it's impossible to know what level of nutrient level stays in the soil as the days go by. what happens if you keep adding nutrients to soil when the old stuff doesn't leave? plant death, that's what.

Dude you definitely don’t need to flush. You’ll just end up hurting the plant in the long run. Just don’t over feed her.
foxfarm just want you to use as much of there product as they can.
isnt sledgehammer just yucca extract? That’s used as a wetting agent?

What causes the new growth leaves to twist? Alot of the smaller lower leaves look droopy too.

Man that is a lot of stuff to use/buy and you have to use a lot of it. It must be really watered down or just ridiculously high EC recommendations. Your plants look great so far but I fear things are going to go downhill once you walk the nutes to them. Prove me wrong bro.

Probably a "sledgehammer flush". Flushing = prolonged saturation = Calcium uptake issue = deformed new growth. IMO

The reason they call for flushing is because they call for super high ppms like everyone's saying. It's like saying punch the plant in the face then put a bandaid on it.
