I accidentally used to much koolbloom liquid when I switched from veg to bloom your supposed to start of with a 1/4tspn per gallon and slowly increase it and you end up using 2tspn per gallon by the end.well I went of of memory and got it backwards so I started of my transition at 2 and it nutrient burned a few of my leaves not to horrible but enough to piss me off. so I realized it by the first day but need to do a good flush to get the fertilizer out of my hydroton.I flushed it for an hour with florakleen to help flush it but I'm wondering if I should use an enzyme like florasheild or hygrozyme
if anyone has any suggestions that would be cool.
I use a ebb n grow (flood and drain) I use hydroton as my medium and I use the full general hydroponic flora series expert series as my nutrients
sorry no pictures cause I lost my camera

i think you will be good with a flush for a day or 2 especially if you used a clearing agent already. Maby use some fulvic acid with then next nute application to act as a chelate but you should be fine without it.

There is a product out there made by a few different companies with names like clearex, final flush, etc. Use one of these products as per the instructions on the bottle and you should be fine. It is developed to flush the system in this exact type of scenario, you'll be fine. I payed 12 dollars CAD for mine, good luck,

Obviously I didnt fully read your post haha. Yeah use it through your sytem for the recommended time and then just go back to your feeding schedule. Should have no problems. BTW I use hygrozyme on every watering anyway, flush or not, gotta keep the roots healthy.

yes good sir it will kill beneficial bacteria and promote root health, which is a key factor in size and flower mass. If you want to maximize your veg growth I recommend using a foliar spray ( no N-P-K value ) called liquid light. What it does is open up parts of the plant that collects light and allows for more collection. It can increase tightness of internode spacing and give you 30% faster growth up till the second or third week of flowering, that is when you should stop. There is copycats but the original is made by DutchMasters, it has a slightly painful pricetag, not too bad, try it on one crop starting at week 2 of veg.
