Nitrogen OD..help!!

I went a bit heavy with the ferts and now plant is showing signs of too much N. I know flushing doesn't really work the same way with organics, but is there anything I can do? Plant has been flowering for 18 days and doesn't really look that bad. A lot of the newer growth on the lower 1/3 is curling under. I'll try to get up pics if needed, but I'm pretty sure it's a N thing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Flush. If you are 100% it's to much N.

But, it could be a deficiency instead. Or a lockout.

Post soil, strain, nutes, watering cycle, light, pics of plant and pics of hot sister.

Without pics I won't be 100% certain, but it sounds like you are starting to have the famous eagle claw. I've had that once from nitrogen toxicity (too much N) I simply flushed with 3x the amount of the pot I was using. Don't add anything else until you see some recovery and then start with 1/4 strenght nutes..

Yep..'tis the dreaded eagle claw. I'll post some pics later for confirmation though. Thanks a lot for the advice.

Here's the details:

Soil - 3:1 Miracle Grow Organic/Perlite
Container - 5gal
Strain - DNA Shark's Breath
Nutes - Earth Juice (full line)
H2o - Approx. every 5 days
Light - 1x150hps+2x26cfl
RH - 40-50%
ph - 6.8
temp - 70-80
Flowering for 2.5 weeks

I flushed today so I guess we'll see, but that is too much N, right? It was only about the bottom 1/3 of the plant,
but it seems to be slowly working it's way up. Older growth doesn't seem to be affected.
