I'm not sure I understand your logic in flushing your plants. If it is a water soluble time release fertilizer, it won't do anything to flush them. Just water them normal is the safest way to keep them healthy at this point. Looking at your pics, they look fine to me and not needing nutrient or flush. Just my 2 cents.
you make perfectly make sense my friend.

Okay guys here is a update plus a few questions. Question 1: WHY THE HELL ARE MY PLANTS SO SMALL FOR 27 DAYS OLD COMPARE TO OTHERS DESPITE EXPERIENCE??. when i look at other 3 weeks old plants they're huge compare to mines plus when i read their topic, they only water them just like i am!. Q2: My LSD on MG started to show signs of something and the leafs are curving on the sides. what could that be???. Only been watering them every 2-3 days about 2 liters. No nutes added since MG contains nutes. Q3: When should i started adding nutes to my two LSD on MG, i feel like they havent grown much because i haven't added nutes. Q4: for my Acapulco Gold in coco. Is about 2 weeks old and i just tranplanted it yesterday, made a mistake and broke some roots off, how long till recovery. Droopy leaf indicates signs of over-watering but i haven't also to coco when should i started adding my Sensi Boom AB and how much nute. i was watering the 2 weeks old about 500ML clean no nutes ph 6.

Dude those are the same sprouts??? wtf really damn guy I would say just keep doing what your doing, all strains are different, all plants are different, all soil is different so on, and so on. But they look good!! age is not really a good comparison imo. how many grows you have completed, yes compare all day!! you have to look at how long they have been growing to say my plants are smaller than,,, "an experienced grower "

I would wait untill I start to see signs of deff before feeding, if all is green leave it, dont fert!! now that yellow little thing something is up?? maybe mix a tiny bit of grow nutes.... I mean a tiny bit, like 1/2 teaspoon in 1/2 gal of water and give it just like 1 cup of water, dont give the entire 1/2 gal. this may help a bit. make sure to ph your water to 6.5 MG soil is going to fuk you up every time untill you switch. Use it for this grow, and find something better. in a few yrs you can say, yea i used mg for my first grow, what the fuk was I thinking? and laugh it off.

when you transplant to a bigger pot use something like Fox Farm original or pro mix a soil closer to neutral then hopefully the MG will mix with the other soil and dilute other than the small it of nute burn Id say youre doing great just relax don't love em to death they'll grow patience is the key ingredient

Those plants look much healthier for sure. The pics of the two smaller droopy looking ones are a concern though. Maybe post some better pics of those.

Acapulco gold : These been droopy for awhile even before the transplant and i didnt add water for about a week because i thought it was over watering. i started added nutrients Boom Sensi part A 4 days ago and they started growing a lil but the leafs are light yellow and developing a lil purpish inside yellow. photo 2.jpgphoto 1.jpg

i wanted to LST my plants because the bottom are not getting any light. well less light since the leaf on top are blocking the llight. i got big leafs on top but when i turn it to one side the other side doesn't get any light. Q1: How would i LST these plants because the branches aren't big for the leaf to be moved out of the way. Q2: Should i cut the leaf half way so the energy goes to the growth and are the big leaf necessary? . photo 3.jpgphoto 4.jpg
 
And to lst you can top it and lst the new tops as they grow or you can tie a loose loop around the middleish of the stalk and pull the plant over to the side and tie it in place this will allow more light to get inside the plant

Okay so two weeks until flowering, I understand the more light the plants get the more they produce but the thing is i got this really big leafs which are like solar panels absorbing all the light and distributing all over the plant but i don't need any more distribution. The main problem and question is now that I'm going to flowering should i CUT the big leaf on top Off because they aren't letting the colas underneath get any light or should i wait more time to CUT them off or Dont CUT them at all. Here Are pics of the Solar panels Leafs blocking all the light from the colas underneath and the colas underneath.

There have been at least two good threads posted in just the last week on all the schools of thought about trimming fan leaves. My personal opinion is that you should leave them on for now. You'll get a stretch when you go into flowering and buds will develop above where your current big fan leaves are now and more fan leaves will form above them and on and on it will go. I only take fan leaves off larger plants that have plenty to spare. Read everyone's opinion and then make a decision. You can always try it another way next time.

If it were me, with 2 more weeks in veg I would trim off those 1 or 2 that are blocking your bud sites, the big ones you are holding up in the pics. In two weeks you can gain some good growth on those smaller leaves underneath. But as Bugeye said there's many opinions on this. Perhaps do one plant and not another then you can gauge the results?

Fan leaves help the plant grow in Veg stage. You can always add extra CFL to get more light under fan leaves. The plant is looking good. You should just VEG it out and let it grow!!!!! VEG it for at least another month, and you will be happy with your YIELD!!! (unless you don't want the plant to get too big)
