Dying Underbrush

The plants seem to want fluids every three/four days. I just watered them making two gallons of the Early Bloom week 1, week 2 of GH M/G/B.
EC was 1.5.
These are 3. gal pots and take about 2 quarts of water when dry. So the pitcher is 2 quarts and I top the pitcher off with plain water to get a little runoff. through the pot.
After adding the water top off EC went down to 1.4.

The leaves on these plants are very small so I just didn't. I can pluck them all off tomorrow. Is this a good course?
Yes, a soil mix of one part Big Orange bag topsoil, one part perlite, one part Pro-mix HP. These pots aren't filled to the top-top with soil. I like how fast this mix dries out. I think four days max between waterings.
I'm guessing the first two/three weeks of flip were "per-flowering" so I gave them the "transition" amount from the old GH schedule these past few waterings, no flushes just run-off.
If I run a gallon of solution through a pot I'll have two quarts of run-off. I've read in the forum run-off should be about 10%. Next watering s/b Monday. I can run 1/2 gal of plain water though then give the nutrient solution I mentioned up there. That'll be a flush sorta.

Please don't think i trying to criticize. Everyone has their own method, I am trying to grow those prized monster colas so everything down below gets cleared. There is also flowering structure to consider. Sativas stretch forever so some plants will never get those big colas. The training method i use is called "lollipopping". The first few times I tried it, I wasn't very successful. I was not harsh enough (I didn't want to hurt my babies), but on that one on the photo, I thought I was maybe too rough but dry weight, before the cure 86g. I didn't get her wet weight. So to me she did OK for a 4 week veg.

This is the tricky part don't take too much at one time. You are in flower and I wouldn't want her to stall out trying to heal. So I personally limit my trimming to no more that about 20%of the foliage at any time and if I go that high she'll need a day or two to recover much higher and she'll turn all her energies to healing for up to two weeks.

You are going to want more run off if using salt based feeds. This jug is runoff from 10 solo cups. Gotta try to let enough come thru to wash out most of the build up left behind by the previous feed. If not.. you will have spikes in your soil that will damage your plants.
If I dump a gallon of solution through the pot is there risk of damaging the roots by over-flooding? Running so much solution through is like a flush every time.
Clear? Thanks!!
Today I watered with solution.
Each plant got 1/2 gallon of solution then about 10 minutes later another 1/2 gallon. The plants were over 5 gallon buckets for the second 1/2 gallon.
So four plants/four gallons of solution and there was about one gallon combined solution runoff.
