this is my first grow.
I started my plants off in Scott's hyponex soil. My plants were showing signs of magnesium deficiency so I transplanted into better soil. (ocean Forrest) now the leaves appear to be burning. I tried flushing the soil earlier today. Is there anything else I can do? Help please.

Cant post a picture because I'm posting from my phone.

Easy man.. sometimes it is best to do nothing. Plants do what they do and sometimes to much "helping" will kill the damn things. I would watch for a few days and see what they do next

Thats really funny; good way to start my day ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well I can recommend u start here.

U only get out what you put in..i Use happy frog(already well balanced)/local nursery mix/ azomite/ jamaican guano/earthworm castings/chunky perlite for my liquid fert soil.

I do recommend letting whatever mix u make sit for awhile and prepare itself. Just like when you eat u have to cook your food; its not already prepared. The npk isnt readily available in soils. It has to be broken down for the plant. Also good bacteria and growth needs time to establish. But definitely get a plan together first. It can be costly on your wallet, time and effort. Itll make u quit before you get started. Again look at these and go from there. Just make sure its well balanced soil and you will have no problems. Also make sure it has dolomitic lime for ph adjustment; this way u dont have to worry about ph.

It sounds like you are pretty hands on... watering can be one of the things that is easiest to mess up if your a little too hands on... try not to overwater, the pot should be getting fairly close to dry between waterings, and overwatering can actually drown the roots out

also, when you are using a fox farm soil, a lot of the nutrients are released when the soil is watered. so if your plant is showing signs of note burn, flushing them with a ton of water could potentially have the opposite effect of what you are trying to do.

If fox Farms burnt your seedlings, then you are watering too often...
You have to let the pot the plant is in get totally light, like styrofoam before you water each time...
Do not flush your soil! I repeat
DO NOT FLUSH your soil...it won't help any issue, and will exacerbate most...
