Need to flush, but soil is still wet

So I know watering too frequently is no good, but let's say I have a few plants that apparently like their nutes on the lighter side, and maybe I tried giving them the same nutes as the other plants, but it's not looking too good...can I flush those few even though their soil is still wet, or should I wait til the soil dries a bit?

If the soil has nutrients in it they can be released by it being overwatered and flushed causing nute burn to continue . I just had this happen and after I flushed the plants kept getting worse so I had to repot in a fresh mix now there ok their color is good and they look healthy , before I repotted They looked like they were not gonna make it . I would flush them too just check and see if theres nutes in the soil so you'll know if the burn continues on the new growth a week later what it's from .

you can flush with the soil still being wet. if you are worried about excess nutrients...i would flush at least 2 gallons of water for each gallon your pot size is. ie. 5 gallon pot --> 10 gallons of water. you could do 3x if you;re feeling up to it. after this, allow the soil to dry and seen how your plants react. if you need to, run straight ph'd water through again or if you think you need to feed....give 1/4 to 1/3 the suggest feeding.

i personally do full feedings every other watering....on off feedings, i just use ph'd water....this reduces the amount of time i need to flush at the end of harvest. hope some of this helps. good luck.

Well it is just this strain or I guess this pheno of this strain it's called C-13 Haze ---it is an F1 hybrid of DNA Genetics G-13 Haze and Cannalope, and just isn't the most stable plant I have come across...it is so darn picky...like any nutes at all and it gets all crazy looking...the new growth is really really light green and the older leaves are clawing...not showing any actual nute burn though. I can't ever get it right...if it is nutes making the leaves curl...maybe it is just really really sensitive to ph. I have just tried everything, and this one strain always looks like hell...it is definitely my piece de resistance...I'll get it, one day...it is a bitch to grow and awesome to smoke...so I'll keep fighting with it for months on end for whatever I can get from it...I think it is just a bad pheno...bad but good...I am hoping to breed a plant that tastes and smokes like it, but grows a little easier...maybe cross it with some rocklock or something equally as forgiving and try to see if I can't get the taste to go through...Perhaps it is just a intermediate seed and I am just a beginner...it is mostly Sativa which is why it smokes so good and fights so hard I guess...Anyway thanks guys. I just didn't wanna go soaking them down if someone thought it might cause problems.
