New advanced nutrients user questions!!! Please help!

Hey guys! Its been a while since ive posted anything but i just started flowering and I am new to advanced nutrients. The line I am using is the 2 part sensi bloom a and b base nutes. the additives im using are the voodoo juice, bud candy, great white shark (instead of phirana) and also some cal mag plus. using RO water as well! just fed them for the first time at a 1/3 strength and on a couple of them may have experienced a bit of nute burn. Should i not have added the cal mag? and lets say they are nute burnt, should i flush them out with RO water with some cal mag in it? or just straight RO water?? or maybe even a mix of RO water mixed with some tap water?

What medium?

Ya what he said^, when I first started growing and I tried advanced I ran 1/4strength through flower(and veg)

i have since switched to organic amendments and fertilizers,along with reusing my soil

get a tds meter......if your feeding 1/3 str from all 5 of them bottles its going to give you high ppm...week 1-3 of flower i would be feeding 1k-1200 ppm of 1/2 veg and 1/2 flower nutes (during oreflower stretch)

then `1200 ppm just flower meds for week 4 and up the ppm by 100 each week...1600 ppm at end of cycle is more than enough, prob dont even have to go that high especially if your in soil

and if you are in soil a solid flush at least every 4 weeks never hurts using synthetics.

Agree with it exactly til the 1600 ppm, I top out at 1200 cuz I burn at 1300, il ramp it to 1300 for 1 week n drop it down 200 ppm a week til chop. But thats just me n my set up.

Im using fox farm ocean forest so thats why im almost 100% sure theyre a little nute burnt. and yeah im using a third strength on all of the nutes. any suggestions on what amounts to use with what i have? i forgot to tell you guys that i also have big bud and b52 and overdrive but that comes a little bit further down the way....

and when you say a "solid flush" does that mean just using straight RO water?

im mixing in 4 gallons of RO water

I just heard this last weekend that AN imploded. I went to this hydrostore and they said that one of the guys took over and was gonna do a bunch of thing supposedly, then recently he was mailing out letters asking grow stores for 10000$ investments.

Yeah I definitely have to get a Tds meter real soon here. Any suggestions on how much I should mix in 4 gallons of RO water if I'm using sensi bloom a and b, voodoo juice, bud candy, great white shark and calmag plus?

have you tried AN's website calculator to figure out how much of each to use? A ppm meter on ebay is like $12, get one now.

I see you are using fox farm ocean forest. Do you have it mixed with Anything? Even extra perlite? Fox farm ocean forest all by itself is not a good idea.

If you are using RO water, the AN ph perfect is most likely taking your ph down close to 5.8 which is too low for soil grow. My tap water ph is 7.9, after connisour AB it goes to 6.3, perfect for soil grow. I use FFOF and a local hydro coco mix called batch 64 (local CO medium named after Amendment 64! legalizing cannabis)
