Look up nitrogen toxicity.

whats your medium? need More info about your soil and other growing conditions
Yesterday I flush the cuz I think the same about the N the soil I’m using is pro mix HP mycorrhizae, what else you need to know is my first and to be honest I’m not a expert but trying any help would be big help to learn

I don’t grow in that so I can’t help with that soil. I’m not sure if that has nutrients in it already or not. I can tell you when you see signs of a toxicity you don’t always have to “flush”. Sometimes you can just give plain ph water and water until the toxicity goes away

I think it’s the nutes cuz my plant start changing or dropping after the first feed , that’s good to know hope to see improvement in the next couple days other thing I recently change the lights week ago, I use a t5 on their veg stage

Unfortunately I’m not the guy to ask about that because I haven’t settled on anything. I find myself using the GH Lucas formula with the most success.

first time growing medium soil, water ph 6.0 6.5 for Regular watering and nutes,
so if you are growing in a hot allmix type of soil you shouldn't give nutritients for several weeks - mostly until the nitrogen in the pot has beeen depleted and the plant shows some initial signs of underfeeding. In soil small plants need a proper wet & dry cycle so they have a chance to leech all what's stored in the earth for them...
Many typical soils establish around 1000-1600ppm of initial salinity, if you further enrich the fertigation water with +500ppm you can see why this shoots through the roof, and the plant looks dark & clawing.
but it's already doing well again... so maybe you can keep your soil just try it next with initially only giving tapwater.

i use roots organic. If you can’t find it in your area I have used Nature’s Care Organic. Look for things like “organic” and “feeds up to 60 days” If you can’t find those soils. Fox farm ocean forest is another popular brand. Good drainage and not too many nutrients is what you’re looking for.
