So I am strictly following FoxFarms full soil schedule, and want to continue veg. growth for several more weeks. If my pH levels are fine, do I still need to do a Sledgehammer flush or is it best to wait until just before the change-over to 12/12?

No need to flush, unless you over feed badly. Also, unless you plan to transplant to a bigger pot, there's little sense in veg more time since the plant will not take the full advantage of more veg time in a 1 gallon pot.

No need to flush here , just switch from veg to bloom nutrients once in 12/12. Don't forget that the 2 first week of flowering often require an inbetween feeding : not totally veg but not fully bloom neither.

Unless your ph is out or you overfeed the girls, I wouldn't advice on a heavy flush, maybe letting 20-30% runoff after the first weeks of flowering stretch to let the excess N slowly go away, while you go bloom nutrients only till harvest. Just watch out for her signs and keep away from nutrient excesses. Have fun growing, tchau do Brazil! =)

I never Flush inbetween, if ph and everything is ok. because the soil is like universe millions of mivrobacteria live in your soil and help he plant to get the food. Flushing means disturbing them. You can help the bacterias if you give some molasses in your watering. ( 1 tsp/l).Nice the schedule works for you. And last tip, use another thread for binding your ladies, i had that too and cut a number of branches, because its so sharp. Iam actually using pipecleanders. they are very soft to the plant, but they are as strong as the one you use

Hey G mang! No need to do a flush. There is actually no need to do a flush at all when flipping to 12/12. Most companies say to so you use more nutes. the only times you really need to flush in soil is if you have a salt build up or when flushing for harvest. And when you do flush for harvest i find that doing a 2-4 day flush before harvest is fine I don't do a week or 2 flush I used to but it just starved the plants. then my buddy taught me that it really doesn't need a flush that long or any when in soil unless using heavy chemical ferts. But yea no need to flush during the grow unless you have a salt build up or pH problems an need to. You can if you want but no need to stress the plants😊Happy Growing!!
