watered yesterday, WHAT HAPPENED?!

this is my first encounter with a plant problem. this is my 4th grow, and ive always been pretty good at watering and feeding nutes appropriately without causeing stress burn or this, leaf cupping and curling. im on the fox farm feeding schedule, every other watering. i water every 2 days or so, whenever i feel the soil a half of my finger deep in the soil is drying up. yesterday, i gave them the feeding for week 6, and this morning BOOM curling on one of my best growing, im very displeased and would love and appreciate any advice.

should i flush, although i watered yesterday?

Sorry to see your problem, have had similiar problems a couple of times in the past. My remedy then was to flush as quickly as possible since this problem will continue to spread or did in my case. I flushed and added some wood ash or I guess you could use lime, mine was basically a nute lock. The affected leaves will not get better but the plant recovered in a couple of days and the damage stopped once it was flushed throughly. Best of Luck to you and hope that this helped some.

would you suggest 3times the amount of the pot its planted in?

That's the standard equation for flushing. Sorry about your plant/s. Give them a good flush and then give them a weak (like half strenght) feeding. They should recover. Best of luck my friend.

whats your opinion on clonging while they are like this, they just started showing signs of females, but i dont want to cut a branch and cause more stress and possibly cause a hermi

Give them a decent water then let them dry out for 4-5 days (looks like some overwatering too IMO...)

I'd try the nutes again at half strength, if they like them I'd clone after a couple feeds...

Never take cuttings from a plant that isn't healthy! Let her recover from this ordeal first. It's also best to let the plant mature before taking cuttings. I always wait 'til they are at least 8 weeks old from seed before I take any cuts. Best of luck my friend.

I'm not expert on this, just giveing u my experiance, That looks like overwatering. The leaves look like their drooping not curling, yes they are curling down but that lokks like its from the droop. My plant droop like that every time i water them (i rain on my plants with sprinkler can). watering every two days seems liks abit much. Get one of those 3 in 1 meters for $10.00. light,ph,moistor. They work great cause it get way down in the pot to test the "lower" soil, that lower soil also needs to get dry too, its not good to have that lower soil wet all the time.

Take a closer look at the second pic. The leaves are curling up like a taco. That's never a good sign and definitely not caused by overwatering. The first pic definitely looks like some overwatering issues and it's kinda hard to tell because of the lighting and poor quality of the pics but there is more going on that just overwatering IMO.

sorry about the pics. the first picture was intended to show you the curling under, its not drooping, its made a complete circle,twice over. after flushing they uncurled a good amount, i do think it is over watering, and too much nutes.

thanks everyone for the help, any other info would be great. always love hearing from first hand experience

I've seen worse. Taking grow room pics with HPS on is tricky. They are definitely adequate to tell you have some sort of problem and most would probably recommend a good flush right off the bat and then give it a half strength feeding. Then let her dry out a little between waterings so her poor roots don't suffocate. I think she'll be fine once she recovers.
