I normally use one bail of pro mix to 2 bags of fox farms with extra perlite and coco. With the strains I am growing now, I have noticed it is too strong and they are showing signs of toxicity bad. They are already planted and rooted good. What's the best way to fix this problem? I do have clearx, and repotting is not an option at this point.

i always just use ffof and perlite for everything and have never had any problems. i dont think your problem came from the fox farm.
i would flush too and wait a week. did you feed them or just water?

Then keep flushing. check your soil's PH and try to maintain 6.5. Keep in mind flushing leeches out teh minerals and nutrients from the soil. You'll need to replace that with a feeding of nutes.

that would be my guess your soil's ph level might be off. flushing to fix this problem takes alot more than if you are just getting the nutes out. i have used promix for plants, but not weed, it may have thrown your ph levels off. when flushing i suggest that you measure and record ph levels of the water and the runoff. the differencee between the two might tell you what your problem is.
