Humbolts secret base A & B with calmag also I added mykos last night to see if it will help
Isn't that some Vegan stuff? There is literally zero information on their website as to what's in it. The website is basically just an infomercial, a bunch of claims, and testimonials. Whatever is in it your plant needed more.

Get a bag of MaxiBloom and call it a day.

This is B bottle
I was mistaken. I thought it was some organic stuff but I see now that just some of their products are.

That should be fine. I don't see any micronutrients but they might just not be listed. There's plenty of NPK. If you're using tap water you probably don't need the calmag as the calcium nitrate and magnesium nitrate in that fertilizer is more than likely going to provide all that's needed.

I would just continue feeding and stop flushing.

I guess the iron is in their calmag. But there's still a lot missing. I don't see any sulfur for instance. Sulfur has a role in the production of chlorophyll which is what makes the leaves green. Most companies will use magnesium sulfate in their products but it looks like they use magnesium nitrate in both the A and B. Since you have it you might as well use it but I would look into something that is more complete when you use that up.

Why so little? It says 5-9 for weeks 1-4 on the label and 9-14 for the first weeks of flower. I would start feeding the low end listed on the bottles.

Good luck.

I don't understand the logic behind flushing if you have a deficiency. If there wasn't enough of something before there's going to be even less after flushing. Am I missing something here?

Good luck
Flushing can help remove an accident. Like adding something that didn't work well with the rest for example. Or if the grower hasn't been providing a DTW(drain to waste)method. Oftentimes the plant can be locked out from to much nutes, a dry pott caused the salts to harden on the roots, ect....
When suspected lock out occurs, it appears to be every Defficiency in the book. Chasing with more curative only makes it worse. So to start over one should flush.
What's important to remember is to follow up that flush immediately with a 3/4 strength recommended feed of the chart/schedule. I've learned using hot water of up to 100•f to flush will get the dry salts off better & you can use approx 1/2 the water you would to get your EC/PPM down 0-500 in soiless media. DTW is very important and will provide slight flushing of the old by replacing with new. Have you checked your run off?
