Hi guys pretty new grower here. First time ever in soil.
Anyways, I have a 3 week old plant and I just burned it for sure. I made a batch of nutes and forgot to check the e.c. but I followed the instructions exactly and intended to water it down until it met the correct ppm. This second step never happened.
The question is can I flush right away or will the over water the plant and hurt it more? Essentially looking for the lesser of two evils.

I did it like an hour Go. There is no signs of burn but I'm sure there will be. I'm wondering if I can flush*even though the soil is soaking

Your trying to correct something that isn’t an issue yet. Did you check what the ppm was before you watered it down after you realized you did it? I mean at three weeks unless your doing coco I wouldn’t even think of feeding. What kind of medium are you using anyway?

I'm using pro mix and cyco nutes. They were a gift so I'm just following the schedule. I only made one litre of solution for the one gallon pot. I used it all and can only guess the ppm was like 2000. Oh yeah real smooth on my part

As long as you have decent drainage and air circulation you shouldn't have to worry about over water when flushing. And as Lordhooha said you probably don't need nutes for another 2 weeks and even then I wouldn't give a full dose as the bottle recommends. Start with a little and bump the nutes as you go along. Its easier to add more later than flush and pray. Your plant should be good though :hump:
