so I just gave my 2 plants a watering, they're only about 2 weeks old and I misread directions on calmag and accidentally put in a whole 2ml into the small amount of water I gave them... i heard they're pretty forgiving about calmag but I think I gave them way too much as each got about 1ml please advise what I should do

More info needed...medium?
You could flush them with 3 times the size of container...pH'd to the norm you use on your medium.

I'm using 3 gallon fabrics filled with FFOF and 30% coco mix - being a noob, what do you mean by flushing with 3x the size of container?

Just plain water...no nutes or anything besides pH +/- to keep things 'safe'.
So 3 gal containers means run 9 gal of water run through...should 'thin out' whats in there.

I wouldnt even flush, they'll be fine... but you really don't need to give them anything in FFOF for 3 or 4 weeks for future reference... i don't even think you should use calmag at all until you see a deficiency myself

I'd prefer not to flush if possible but I really wouldn't want to hurt them by leaving it, you're sure they'll be okay if I just leave them be?

As sure as I can be ... 2ml really isn't that much and you have them in fairly large pots for their size so it should be pretty well dispersed ... just keep an eye on em, if you see the tips yellowing badly flush, but Id be surprised if they did... flushing in a pot that large with only 2 week plants your liable to overwater them
