Sooo, I was a dumb ass. I have been over ferting my plants for quite some time. I flushed everything on Wednesday night with about 10 gallons of runoff. My plants look horrible. For the first few days they looked ok, but now they have a lot of the leaves looking like the pics below. I need help please. I am 4 weeks into flower and its killing me and I cannot afford to lose this crop. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
Uggg, things are not getting better!!! What to doooooo?

you already did what you shouldn't do, so move past that, let it get dried out, then start with watering in some cal/mag at 6.5 ph and around 5ml per gallon. after a couple waterings, you should be ready for a feeding. what nutrients are you using?

judging by the cupping, and the speed bumps, looks like too much light combined with some over watering/over nutes. but hey that's my opinion. can we get a pic of the whole plant? one leaf doesnt tell much of a story. how close are the plants from the light? what kind of light you using. the yellowish doesnt really say too much nutes, looks like straight over water, with too much light. did u have the burning and yellowish before you flushed or after?
they are curling away from the light and not very dark, which would not indicate too much nutes. still stick by my theory of over watering and too much light.

You're seeing the damage from the fertilizer develop. Stop feeding it until you see the health come back. At that point give it compost tea then the next watering start the nutes again at 1/3rd the dose. The leaves won't recover. The damage is permanent.
It'll take a few grows to dial the fertilizer amounts in. Individual nutes can be tricky. You might consider an all in one fertilizer like Maxibloom on this grow or the next.

Pics of whole plant ?
Curl down is usually from too much feed and water. NO MORE FLUSHING .
Allow roots to dry out before resuming. You can STILL remedy the plant by mixing up a CalMag solution for a Spray Bottle ....... No need to dump more water or feed into the soil for now. You can foliar spray the leaves lightly and leave her alone for a few days til she comes around.
Any other leaves on plant ( that is spotted or whatever ) WILL NOT GO BACK TO NORMAL. You are just trying to correct the issue.
The main issue is to correct the uptake balance ( 6.5 ) and once she ready go to a 1/4 strength feed to her happy. This is the worst time to stress her or stunt her because she is constantly getting liquid dumped on her.

Ok, so last is when I flushed the plants. Like I said I made sure to get about 10 gallons of runoff. The rust color came after I flushed everything. The cupping started before. If I do a foliar spray will it rot the building bud? My whole note mixes where beyond fucked up. I have had a new mix, same nutes but much lower dosage. The tent is 10x10 and is 6'5" tall. The lights are double ended HPS and are as high as they can go up. heated all the way through so to keep heat to a min.
