Can you switch from organics to salts mid grow

So I have a tent that's been running organics and these plants haven't been sent into flower yet. I was thinking about starting the plants in that tent on floraflex when they start looking hungry again before flower.
Would that be a issue or would that be ok?

Fine for the plants. Not great for the soil if you want to reuse it.

Not planning to reuse the soil. I'm actually switching my whole garden to salts for a bit. So should I wait for them to finish all the food in the soil or slowly start introducing the salts and power si on low ec?

You can use salts as they need them. You're gonna want to start watering to 20% runoff soon too if you switch to salts.

Sounds like your organics suck? Whats the deal.
I don't know. We moved into this new place and I've been constantly having issues only in flower really though. Small issues in veg.
I am switching to salts until I can get raised beds to do the organic stuff again. I've grabbed a starter kit from floraflex and some power si. Already got some small plants vegging on the regimen.
Gonna switch these other 4 plants over I guess too

Forget the silica. It must be used every feeding and from the first for it to work properly.

I worry about over watering In this soil though
Dont be worried,a plant thats root bound does well with salts/runoff.If its not root bound then let it dry back,but never really dry.If allowed to go dry then lots of runoff.
