My soil run off is at 7.44.

My water is ph'd to 6.5.

I add NO nutes. (Except a little CalMag)

I use Ocean Forest soil.

I'm guessing my soil is to hot.

I'm going to flush.

Is there anything I need to do to the soil or for the plants after I flush?

Will I need to start adding nutes?

why are you wanting to flush? usually the soil would be acidic not alkaline if it has been used for a bit. i usually dont freak out on runof ph as long as its within 1 full point of the water going in for me its fine. whats the point of getting ocean forest if your going to try to flush out the nutrients in it? save it and get something else if you afraid to start plants in it and use it during flowering or something.

I've posted pictures and some people on here looked at the pictures and said it looks like I have ph lock out and other people looked at the same pictures and said it looks like nute burn. I'm frustrated and feel like I need to try something. The clones didn't grow a single inch in the in the first 6 weeks. Not a single inch. (In Happy Frog) The leaves were dieing. I wasn't getting any new growth. I transplanted them and they started growing but the leaves are still dieing.
The weird thing is that I've got 4 girls, treated exactly the same and they are all showing different symptoms.
1) new leaves are yellowing
2) old leaves are yellowing and going limp
3) all leaves are turning dark green, then spotting brown and look like claws
4) doing better now but still growing very slowly and the new leaves are like twisted.
