Can I flush next day after feeding?

Your going to have to post some pictures dude. 1 of the problem leaves and 1 of the full plant.

To answer your question on flush, if your doing it to remove build up of salts then yes you can do it when ever you like.

If your growing coco you shouldn't be using canna terra, which is for soil, you should be using canna coco or similar coco specific nutrients. They contain a different ratio of calcium amongst other slight differences. You should also consider a cal/mag supplement in coco.

You should water till run off in coco to stop build of of salts and to draw more oxygen to the root zone. If you don't do that then you should use a low strength dose but you risk causing root problems and hydrophobic areas in the medium from not watering properly.

If I were you I wouldn't flush anything until you have posted some pics and properly diagnosed your problem. The little description you have given could be a number of things depending on where on the plant the problem is.

Yeah by all means flush it and go back to what you want to use. Give it some run off. Then do what's been working for you.

If you don't water till run off you will have lots of salt build up that will cause lock outs, flush with a mild solution, flushing with water doesn't work well.

20% runoff is only 20% more solution. Your saying it takes 80 min to feed every day? Anywho if you cant properly use the medium your going to run into problems. Maby swich to soil or set up a watering system.
