Overwatered I think? Happened after a Flush with sledgehammer again. Plant number 12! I’m new and frustrated…

That's a different subject altogether. He's referring to plants in a soil mix of sorts. I wish he'd elaborate on that part. But we can only go so far with limited info on the grow.
I could have missed something because my last table was sweet but to the best of my knowledge he never clarified his substrate which was why I asked if he was DWC.

Ah. I assumed it was soil because "not to insult anyone but he comes off as a noob" like we all have been so I assumed it was soil.
I started my first grow in 1996 in my home made NFT rails.

Wow. In 96 I was growing wild outdoors. No forums involved. Just supplying me.
I used Miricle grow in yard soil.
I felt like I had no brothers in grow. Unlike today.

The need for flushing is dependent of a few things, the grow media and most importantly the type of fertilizer used, If it's an organic, flushing shouldn't be necessary, however, if using synthetic nutes it is common to have a build-up of "salts" from the chelated ferts. These will eventually build up and cause lock outs. Flushing at the beginning of flowering is pretty common with synthetic nutes. The plant certainly shows symptoms of a root issue, probably from too much water, which damaged the root, and now the roots can't absorb enough water (or nutes). Are your pots sitting directly in the trays? They should be raised up on blocks, so the pots are not sitting in runoff water.
