I flushed with fox farm sledgehammer to remove excess salt build up like they recommend. Now all of my fan leaves are yellow and dying. Some of the sugar leaves are doing the same.. Any ideas?

Hi @GrowFanatic! Well, since you used a product to get rid of salts/nutrients/chemicals, your plant is trying to find energy elsewhere, so basically it's eating the few nutrients left in the leaves. That's a normal thing, leaves are supposed to fade when harvest is coming / when the flush has started. This phenomenon is called "senescence" and is part of the pre-harvest process. No worries, this reaction is completely normal. However, I think you still have a few weeks to go through before harvest, so I'd recommend to give them at least 2-3 last meals, before flushing for 7-14 days depending on the trichome's evolution. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hello ! Agreed , it's the result of flushing. If I were you I would feed them but it is not necessary the good thing to do , if the plants are reacting to Sledge hammer like that maybe a tap water flush would be better before net feeding. Tricky 😅
