Are you flushing every four weeks with the sledgehammer? Also, I use the same nutrients and I have 7 gallon pot and I only use 1 tsp per gallon. The fox farm nutrients are very strong. I only feed once a week with nutrients and the rest of the week just water. You may be over feeding...What’s your temps? Looks like nutrients burn. But I’m no expert..
 
My temps range from 85 - 90 + deg lights on. around 76 + lights off. Humidity hangs around 35%. with a cool mist humidifier. (Thats the best I can do) Nute burn & def almost have the same symptoms as I see it. I'm inclined to agree - I think it is nute burn. Any suggestions & What is The Sledgehammer flushing?

Greymowser i would recommend flushing with just water for about a week. You are using 2 gallon pots so feeding every other watering is a bit much. Trying feeding once a week... again I’m no expert. This is what I would do if i was in your situation. Good luck!
 
Greymowser how are you testing your PH levels? I test my run off not sure it that’s the right way. I have a soil PH tester but because I’m using happy frog and Ocean farm it does not give me the accurate levels. I get way better results when testing the runoff.
 
im in 1 gallon pots right now and i feed every other watering and when i water i always add silica, because i like what t can do for plants and for an ph up..

i do need to check the ppm and ph of my run off.. just to see if its using up what im giving it or am i just wasting it by overfeeding..
 
check out megacrop https://greenleafnutrients.com/?v=7516fd43adaa great stuff and its free right now only 3.18 for shipping its pretty complete for 1 part nutrient if anything it could use a pk booster in flowering but thats with every nutrient!! promo code megacroppromo it muight not be the best out there but its definitely better than most and for the promo going on you can beat it..
 
Greymowser ,Are you plants autos or photos, ? If they are photos you need to transplant soon. Like now.
Are you checking your runoff, ?are you letting your soil dry out before watering?
I'm thinking you got root problems, but don't throw you plants away, as mentioned above, you can fix that problem .
We just need more information.
 
The four gals are White widow fem. from seed back @ 5.20.18 the seeds were 1 yr old -I grew the same exact thing last yr. around the same exact time. (5 plants last time). with pretty good results. Yes I check the soil by finger & weight. I do have good run off but 2 be honest, I have not tested the Ph this go round. I use tap water. It's a bit on the hard water side but seemed to do fine last yr. I'm off to the Nursery 1st thing tomorrow for supplies. Should I do a flushing before I transplant? Or do I even need to transplant? --- I did not transplant last yr. but I think I might get a better yield in 3 gal. pots. I hope I'm not to late......
 
Nutrient burn starts at the tips the very tips and from the top down it's likely not burn. Yellowing like that could be from lack of water or as the person said before me could be repotted. 2 gallons is rather small.
