So i have this plant showing some calmag deficiency

And i wanted to switch her over to my synthetic nutes

Right now im using organic bottled nutes in peatmoss and im getting really tired of it

So the real question is should i flush even though the soil is still moist 1,5-2 cm down or should i wait until shes completely dry

And my plants also gets overwatering signs after having moist soil for more than 2-3
just wondering how it would impact my plant if i completely saturated it
 
Why are you switching from organic?? Check your ph Peat moss I think is pretty acidic. But get a 10% by volume of runoff for a sodium flush and 20% for chloride. To much of a good thing could be Use ph 'd water fiyr flush
 
I don't use ANY nuits strictly microbes in amend my soil and reuse it These are 26 days from beans till now a these are in a cheap $14 bag of Happy Frog a tbs of KIS amendment mix And a 1/4 cup worm castings per 1 gal pot im waiting on my bed test to up plant in that โœŒ๏ธ

Thanks for the reply
Im switching because im so tired of biobizz nutes theyre so complicated i cant measure the ec evenly and i have no fucking clue of how much to put in and thier own chart is also so fucked

Now on the other side i just bought some Canna Terra nutrients and im really excited about trying them out heard alot of good about them and i dont have to mix bloom and grow together through out the grow

You're in the same boat as me, originally when i started growing, many years ago, i was using synthetic, AN ph perfect line and i had no issues, since switching to biobizz i've had quite the few problems with deficiencies, I know there charts are pretty bad hence why i'm having to do a lot of my own testing, which i'm currently doing. Moved away from using there calmag and use epsom & a egg shell + vinegar mix for my calcium (calcium is currently in testing so i'll let you know how that goes!), but i'm also possibly looking into going back to synthetics, but i'm pressuring myself to see what the issue is with biobizz or if im actually making a mistake, one thing i did notice was my run off being 5.6 ph, which is to low, so i've been phing the nutrient blend and adding ph up / down made by biobizz to see if whats going in is similar in whats coming out within reason of fluctuations, also testing to see if this makes a difference :) hopefully i'll be able to figure something out and throw it your way! In terms of flushing, personally, if the plants are getting over water signs and the soil is fairly moist, i'd wait to flush, the last thing you'd want to do is drown your roots causing you more problems, then when they are fairly dry, flush with the same ph'd water that matches your new feed, go nice and slow with how much water you use after, the plants will tell you when there hungry :)

Organic is king
 
why not pull the plant out . Repot it into soil with some perlite ? Stop the pain and have fun .
 
I went from fox farm to strive nutrients, the difference is amazing. I think it's a good call if you were having issues to try a different method.

Since you already have problems don't think the new nutes will cure all, but wait until the next grow to judge the difference.

When I switched I seen growth come back, but I seen all the damaged leaves continue to degrade. It wasn't until a new grow without issues when I seen the big improvement.

Day 43 no deficiencies, it's a nice feeling. Good luck, I would flush now fairly heavy, then feed heavy all in one go, then let dry completely, then feed heavy again. Then go back to normal feeds.
