Yeah there is evidence of high nitrogen ( claw , deep green ) ..
Stop flushing ... It wont remove whats in the plant already. Just let her use up what it can , just let container spend a few days drying back to a normal routine ... You have a few weeks to go ( lots of tall standing pistils ) ... They havent receded back yet.
Check triches ( calyx ) not just leaf.
Once its ready to water ( dry ) ... Feed her a 1/2 feed of bloom to keep her happy .
At harvest time ... Forget flushing again ( no need for it )
Feed her for a few more times then water only during last 2 weeks.
Then " Choppity Chop ".

Easy way to cure that in soil is to simply water with a pHed water with maybe a Ca/Mg in it for 7 - 10 days and restart nutrient use at 1/2 strength and increase as needed.
If you use a "hydro" nutrient. Use it at every other watering only in soil!

So is dyna gro considered a hydro nutrient? And is every other watering only, good for the entire grow in soil?

On those girls in soil I used grow and then as soon as i switched the lights i went straight to bloom, the recommended dose for every watering. The pots are 10 gallon so it takes 3 or 4 days to dry out. I was also using cal mag at 1 tsp per gal and maybe I shouldn't have since I was using tap water. I also have learned that my tap water is a little over 400 ppm.

I thought the idea of flushing was for me to try to rid the salts from the soil, not necessarily the plant?

Try the FOLIAGE PRO - start to finish, no "bloom" needed! Those are nice but not a good ratio for MM.....foliage is a 3-1-2 ratio and that's ideal for MM..
If you choose to stay with what you got. go the every other watering method. AND, don't start the bloom till week 3 of bloom at 50/50 veg/bloom for a week then go full on bloom the next week.

Thanks Dr. Bloom!
Can you answer a question for me? Last night I started harvesting my first plant. By the time I got finished trimming what I had cut, it was way past my bedtime, lol. I needed to water that one that you said to give 1/2 strength nutes too so I mixed it up and as I was finishing up I noticed that the girl I'm going to be harvesting, maybe tonight or tomorrow was dry so I watered her with the same water, 1/2 strength. How bad did screw up? I had been flushing her for the last 3 waterings.

No worries. Thanks for responding! I took her down last night. I'm pretty sure she was ready.

Are you saying to use Foliage Pro for every time I give my plants water in flower? Never go without it? But if I use bloom, go every other?
If you are saying that, at what rate should one use FP vs. Bloom in your opinion? Should FP be at 50% if you are using every time?

I'm saying to NOT use bloom at all, with Foliage Pro!
I might be inclined to try it (bloom) as a supplement! Say once at week 6-7.
If you were to choose to KEEP using veg and bloom - THEN go water - feed - water - feed - like that. Still, the bloom is awful high in P......

Agreed, Bloom wrecked my plants so I got Foliage Pro. Should I feed every time with FP at 50% or every other time at 100% or what?
