well when I contact general hydroponics they say a little more than what I normally water with which is usually 1 gal but ive recently uped to 2 gallons I don't see how 1 to 2 gallons with florakleen can really do the job im in week 3 almost 4 of flower and need to flush cause I think I have a build up of nutes or salts that are locking out certain nutes like calmag so I was thinking 5 gallons each should do hopefully then ill start back with nutes at 1/4 dose or so

If you can for-sure keep the flow directional, 5 or 6 gal will do.
I flushed my 7-gal SmartPots once due to salts buildup. I monitored TDS of effluent. Took a good 10 gallons each to get from >1000ppm to a good 250, using 70ppm tap water. cn

You should absolutely pH your water if necessary.
Getting your pH out of range would just worsen your nutrient problems.

Cal/Mag issues are more often a problem of nutrient lockout due to low pH than actually a deficiency of Cal-Mag in the soil. What is the pH of your soil?
