also new growth yellowing leaves tacoed 42 inches away from 1000w hps they were fine until i fed them full strength nutes consecutively for two waterings
 
Do you have a soil PH tester Alkaline/Acid stik? if so what are the readings of your medium?
if not I recommend getting one less than $10 bucks at HD or Lowes you can just stick it in your pot an monitor your medium for water and mineral fluctuations.
 
Keep in mind the need to add fertilize is less in soil than with a medium with a neutral PH
I usually fertilize 1 x a week with soil careful not to over do it with the fert'

Since you have leached pots completely Feed with 50% strength high quality complete plant food mix (not focused on vegging but all purpose even parts 10-10-10)along with a high quality vitamin B-1 product such as Superthrive (1 drop per gallon).

Spray a Seaweed extract (Cold Pressed) or type of stay green formula on the leaves. (just before light is scheduled to come on so not to burn leaves)
After 24hrs, spray the leaves with a quality vitamin B-1 product.
proceed to Feed at 50% of recommended fertilizer dosage until first signs of growth.

No offense...but in the future try and prevent your container from drying out to the point that it is so light the plant is heavier than the container.
Time to tell this may just be the recovery cycle from your flushing.

Monitor your water keep moist not soaked and if at all possible get you a soil PH/Acid/Alkaline moisture tester.

Do this if you can, pop the plant out of the container and check the roots. If your roots are still pretty white and havent died back youll be ok, if the roots have gone brown its going to be a shitty harvest no matter what at this point.

Hey there, do not try to look at your roots.
Is it miracle grow potting soil with continuous release fertilizer or one of their other blends?

Run three gallons of tap water through that pot today.

get back to us on the exact soil blend before you feed and more GH.. I love GH by the way.
 
I would allow the plant some time to recover and the pot to dry out a bit not dry out completely, sounds like the also are stressed from the saturation of the rooting system, just water as needed with a 50% complete fertilizer this will decrease the stress and allow the plant to recover monitor the water by lifting pot and only water when the container feels light so the soil can create the oxygen to the roots you are looking for.

If you decide to re pot, do so in a larger container only adding peat moss or vermiculite that way you are not stressing the plant further with added soil amenities and minerals.

just baby the shit out of it plant, plants can take up to 2 weeks to recover after flush.
