SOIL Should I flush my plant?

[OhioSt14]

I am new to growing, I started growing 2 Hybrid plants in fabric pots using fox farm ocean forest potting soil, with general hydroponics flora series nutrient using the chart I found on the website, I am also using well water which I tested and is higher than recommend so I use the general hydroponics hardwater which i do. I found out a couple weeks ago that my pH pen was broken so the pH has probably been off when water. I recently bought a new pH pen and have been confirming that the water pH is correct. Since I have corrected the pH, I have noticed that the plants leaves are getting darker, where they were lime green before. I am also starting to see small brown spots on the leaves as well. I have moved my light up (LED Spiderfarm) a coupe inches and raised the night temp in my tent to 70 F. I am still seeing my plants leaves droop, and some leaves are starting to flip. Last time I gave my plant water runoff pH was 5.1. Should I flush my plant or keep providing the correct pH until it corrects itself? My concern if I flush the plant that it would kill it. ​

No, you don't need to flush. I never flush my plants. About two weeks before harvest, I stop giving them Nutes. Why do you have the same message 8 different times? BTW. Your plants are looking great. Keep it up.

Im with Kingy.

No need to flush.

Buy an Apera pH pen from their Amazon shop and storage and calibration fluid.

i reduce nutes last couple of weeks but you're not at that stage yet.

Rust spots on leaves is a calcium deficiency, so look up a nute chart for your medium and see what pH you need for best uptake of that.

Keep on doing what your doing. Looking good.

Ocean forest is a hot soil and your adding synthetic nutrients, you might want to back off the synthetics for a bit. Proper PH is very important.
