If you have nute burn. Just smash through alot of water, your not exactly feeding them. You want to fluush the crap out. Depending on pot size. I flushed my pots with 2ltr of water each.

Also If they feel brittle, take a mister type spray bottle with plain ph'd water and lightly mist the UNDERside of the leaves.
Most people spray over the top of the leaves but a plant actually transpires from underneath the leaf. Do this every 3 days if they keep feeling brittle.
Just enough to get moisture on them, you don't want them soaked and over watering your soil.

they're vegging........stop feeding them all together. looks like they have enough to get through veg, imo.
There on flower nutes and under hps on 12/12 will they still be vegging for a while then? Should I not flush?

Kinda in the same boat. I'm on my first grow too, I've been watering daily since the start, they got nutes every day. Here's what I've done, take from it what you will...

I was using thrive all purpose in vegg, used thrive flower during 12/12 transition, then been feeding them potash the past two weeks, halved it again this week for the high concentrate of K in potash is about double the K of that in thrive. seems my problem is feeding them too much as well. Got a few neon green/yellow on new leaves.

Either flush or just dial it back some on the nutes and dilute them even more. I filled a bucket with about 65% water lastnight and added the rest of the water from my reservoir which had the half diluted solution of potash already. I'm about 22 days into flower. Lights just turned off took some pics, if by tonight they still looking too neon I'll flush tonight with rainwater.

NP but I'm new too. For the first few grows I'm going to KISS (keep it simple, stoner). Unfortunately even though I halve the nutes directed it's been watered daily and I think it's close to being overfed. Attached a pic.
