How do I fix the excess calcium, is it serious? Should I switch to 12/12 next week or wait for them to recover from the excess?

Yes, excess calcium can cause serious problems. I would flush your plants with water equal to 3 times the size of your pots to restore the medium. If you're using a calcium/magnesium nutrient, I would stop doing that. If you're not using a specific calcium/magnesium nutrient, I would use less of any nutrient that has a high amount of calcium. There's also a lot of white powder on your leaves. Is it yours or did it just appear? I'm asking because it could be powdery mildew that will ruin your buds if you don't treat it. Make sure to address these issues before switching to 12/12 or it will affect your final yield.

Hi @Elmota! Whatever toxicity is in place, flushing the medium with loads of water is the only way to get rid of the old salts/nutrients. Next time you should probably focus on a good soil rather than giving heavy amounts of nutrients frequently. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊
