New Grower Question about flushing

[Gibs Grow]

My bottom leaves have become very discolored as a result of heat burn I'm assuming. I'm also guessing this because my leaves have curled up very badly on the bottom. Since moving my light up ALOT the new growth has been looking very good. My newest issue is slow growth perhaps but also yellowing tips on new growth. The tips are very slightly yellowed so I wanted to flush the entire plant with regular phed water. I'm worried this may cause root rot or overwatering. I haven't watered for about a week and the plants are about 20 days old. Will I be okay to flush without overwatering? The top 2-3 inches are bone dry but below that is still fairly damp but not soaked. My pot size is 5 gallons.

You really need to post a photo. Trying to diagnose with some words doesn't really cut it. More specific info on your grow, medium, lights etc etc.

Hi @Gibs Grow, AutoWonders is right, it's difficult to assess what may be wrong with your plant from just a description, so it would be better if you could post some photographs of the plant, with some more detailed information on your set up etc. in the Autoflower Infirmary here:

Hope this helps

Hope this helps I would really just like to know what you guys think I'm new to all of this so any advice is appreciated.

Hi again, it does look heat stressed to me, and maybe a bit of Magnesium deficiency creeping in on those lower leaves. The new growth looks ok apart from the slightly burned tips (which may also be a sign that your soil has too many nutrients) so raising the light looks to be helping. The humidity could do with being higher ( a simple trick is to have some open containers of water in there) and 82 degrees at soil level is pretty warm, so I would imagine temps at the canopy to be higher.
Do you have good airflow through the space and a fan inside to move the air? Both will lower the temps. A bit more info about your soil mix and watering schedule would be good too.
Tbh I'm not sure without more info so I'll post a link in the infirmary and hopefully you should get some more help

I think you need to keep the humidity down. You can make the plant get mold if it's that high. 30% to 50% is ideal.

Maybe in flowering, but in the vegetative stage a low of 25% and a high of 37% (as recorded on the hygrometer) is not ideal, especially combined with high temps.
