Mixing organic and synthetic nutrients?

Does anybody know if this is bad?

I'm using the mission fertilizer line everything except the boost/roots/grow for flower. But I also decided to add Rock Resinator to make up for missions boost additive. I believe the resinator is a chemical nutrient. (https://www.rocknutrients.com/resinator/)

Here is the link for the mission organic nutrients (http://missionfertilizer.com/mission-fertilizer-feeding-schedule/)

For Veg I use fox farm grow big (synthetic) emerald harvest sturdy stalk for silica(synthetic) and liquid seaweed for roots(I think organic?)

I also use natures nectar cal mag for both veg and bloom.

That's pretty much my whole recipe. I wanted to get your guys input on anything and I also wanted to know if it's bad to mix synthetic and organic thank you!

P.S I'm having a potassium defeciency on 1 strain that won't go away no matter how heavy I go with the resinator(since its high in PK). The plant got really bad never heard damn near fucked now lol. Now it's starting to slowly show On like 2 other strains and I'm in week 4 of flower. Should I continue to go heavy with the resinator? Is mixing organic and synthetic nutrients causing some sort of K lockout?

over feeding is often the root cause of plant issues. its not because of the mix of syn/org, but actually , it is.
mixed correctly as needed would be a fine experience. you over fed likely.

I flushed all my plants right when I flipped to 1212 and that's when the problem started. I'm pretty sure I haven't overfed. Max ppm I've hit was 800-900

You flushed and now you have a problem, HMMM, maybe forget forum bs things like flushing, that is for toilets.
Yeah exactly I tried to reset the medium and start them on 1/4 strength bloom nutes then work my way up but my cookies got hit with the K deficiency bad and never got fixed no matter what I did

Oh, thanks for sharing that. I didnt know you flushed. all was good until you flushed eh? sounds easy to me, but I dont know what your flushing entails either. I feed plain water till run off, but never considered that a flush. I can feed plain water in soil for weeks without additives, sometimes only feed soil once in flower even, water after that, they be flushed for sure I think, but no issues either, so
good luck

But do you think that an overfed plant could be repaired with a flushing?

Yeah it fixed a nitrogen toxicity I had I flushed 3-4 times the pot size with tap water then I adjusted the last few gallons of water to ph 6.5 so the PH isn't off. I tested the run off water since flushing and the ph is okay
