It’s my first time flushing and I’ve done some research I’m currently running FOX FARM
OCEAN BLEND I’m grown sour banana sherbert F2 from Crockett farms I’m using fox farms dirty dozen (wholly mackerel&kelp me kelp you) not included also not using a flowers kiss can find time to make a gallon to use before Lights go off before work and cal/mag total grow time has been 3 months and a few days being scared of the soil being to “HOT” I didn’t use any nutrients for 2 whole months just tap water left out for a few days and pH to 6.4-6.6 then a bad magnesium deficiency or nitrogen deficiency or both hit like right at the 2 month mark so I started at week 2 for the starting nutrients I started at half dose and now I’m at week 4 using full doses since week 3 between week 4 and 5 there’s a flush I’m kinda worried to do it I’ve got recommended to do 6 gallons 2x my pot size (3gal) and since I had a deficiency I should do 1/4 the recommended doses I’m assuming week 4 and continue On to week 5 I’m guessing after the flush any ideas what would be a good idea I also haven’t been able to get a ppm meter or ec meter

Take some pics with a normal light please?

Initially I would say knock it off with the cal mag. I think you ate over doing it and these elements are locked out.

I agree... if that calmag issue is sorted and all new growth is nice and green then dont flush.

Sorry I thought it was a pre harvest flush.

Your chart recommends a few flushes mid way to stop build up because its heavy feeding.

If you want to do it I would just run a low ppm solution through your pots and then resume as usual.
Though I wouldn't be feeding full strength nutrients at any point. They just want you to use lots of their product and generally speaking less is more and more causes issues more often than less does.

Really you helped me a lot I thank you
Much I only did a full dose cause I had a deficiency problem I wasn’t sure if so say for the open sesame and beastie bloom that calls for only 1/4 a teaspoon how would I do that lol I’m not good at math at all I would say that wouldn’t be bad it’s just to help promote opening for bud growth to fatten up the buds and cha Ching to help resin a flavor the buds?

Hehe... I dont know bud... i only use tsp for making a cake or stiring my tea.

I would lower all nutes evenly so they are in the same proportions and measure the ec levels. If your full strength is like 1.8 I would lower to about 1.4

Some is organic and another the microbe brew (full of mycorrhizae and stuff) does that make a difference to use is it bad for the plant nutrient wise like to giving nutrient burn etc
