Hey guys , so it's been a few days now I've been watering the plant with some half solutions of nutrition or some even just ph'd water to flush my pots . For some reason my first grow , at flower this happened . And now it's happening again.. I give it all the nutrition as directed plus the cal mag . Anyone have any clue what to do . Do I need to flush more ? The leaves are turning more orange by the day

Thing you need clarification.
When you flush to fix a potential build up, you do it all in one go and then you feed properly.
You don't feed it nothing for a few days, that's just going to compound the problem.

With it happening at thus stage then it's likely a build up that's accumulated through veg and suddenly appears in flower.

I water then to fairly substantial runoff every day yes .
So at this point what do you guys suggest? One massive flush ? Run a bunch of gallons of ph water through it ? Or how should i do this properly?

Don't up your solution or drop your solution strength. What had them healthy in the begining go back to it. Just feed twice as often as you did before.

As I said in an earlier post........do a major flush with a weak nutrient solution.
Never, ever use plain water in coco.........it messes up the cation exchange capacity.

As far as I know plain water doesn't change the CEC, it just flushes nutrients out.

Exactly my point. Plain water removes the calcium and magnesium. Taken from cocoforcannabis.com......you might want to read it.
Flushing to Lower EC
To a certain extent, the run-off that we apply with each fertigation event is a small flush. However, there are times when that small amount may not be sufficient to maintain the EC within the acceptable range. If run-off EC is persistently more than 400 points higher than inflow EC despite frequent fertigation (multiple times per day) with 20% run-off, then you should consider flushing.
Process:
  • Use nutrient solution that is at half your normal Inflow EC
  • Apply twice the normal quantity of water
  • Wait ten minutes following the application
  • Add additional dilute nutrient solution to produce new run-off for measure
  • Test the EC of this new run-off, it should be at or below your normal target inflow EC
  • If the EC is still high, repeat this process at the next opportunity to fertigate
