so im pretty sure my problem is a potassium lockout since I'm in still in veg and my leaves are showing a K defeciency bad. Before this happened I fed 5ml per gallon of calmag a week prior(2 waterings ago). Which i think is a pretty high dose for plants that are only 12" tall I should've just done 1-2 ml. The bottle recommends 2-10ml per gallon. The last watering I used fox farm grow big at 5ml per gallon which is a half strenght. And the potassium defeciency is still getting worse so that's why I'm assuming it's a lockout. What should I do to fix this? Should I flush on my next watering? Continue to water normally without nutes for a while? Or just keep giving them a light dose of my veg nutes every other watering? I'm planning on flowering in like then 2 weeks so I need to fix this asap!

Nutrient antagonism, maybe go with a light leaching on next watering. You seem to have it figured out.

People who use soil need to ditch cal/mag once a deficiency shows and treat one or the other. Using both can be counterproductive sometimes. Epsom or gypsum.
