So should I flush and I use tap water so I dechlorinated by letting it sit out for 48 hours and then I usually pH it after so you’re telling me with advanced nutrients I just have to chlorinated And add nutrients without pH in

Only use half. And don’t water until their dry again they may bounce back. How many weeks are they in flower

Don’t ph it then don’t use molasses either. Advanced has blockers in it for when you try to use other brands

Even tho my tap water comes out between 7-8 the ＡＤＶＡＮＣＥＤ nutrients would stabilize it

You can add it with nutes or just the water alone, mix well.
Are you trying to fix your plants?
You have a mag problem, and the start of a K problem. Fix the mag problem and the K problem will probably go away with it.
Add 1gr of epsom salt per gal, water in with half strength nutes. Do this twice so the next time might just be a water only but add the epsom salt as before. Then reduce to a 1/2gr per gal for a maintenance with each nuted feeding and adjust from there depending on how the plant responds.
If you want to add molasses i recommend that you only add 10ml per gallon. Mix well.
I had learnt that you shouldn't add molasses until the last two weeks or so and that it's just to keep the microbes alive and active in late flower because the microbes do something with the molasses that isn't good for your plants, but in late flower its kind of late for the negative effects to take place since its so late before the chop so its acceptable to use it in late flower I guess.
Get a microbe product and use it once a week. Low dosage.
Water in at a ph of 6.5. So yes after you add nutes or whatever you check it and adjust it regardless of some company marketing ph perfect bullshit.

Yup advanced works best not phed I got into this a month ago with a supplier in Ontario. If you’re in soil put the pen away. IMO And I just tried it. Is that their over priced they work but expensive
Assuming that is even the issue, why would fixing a magnesium issue get rid of a potassium issue??? It's two different elements that don't co-depend on each other. Fixing a magnesium issue can get rid of a phosphorus issue as the two depend on each other...actually phosphorus depends on magnesium to carry it through the plant, but if you're low on potassium, adding magnesium will not make potassium magically appear!
What does that even mean??? I swear people invent their own science on these sites..this is how so many myths get started! lol
