Run PH'd water thru your net pot until your runoff ppm is at 0, or whatever the ppm's are of the water you are flushing.

i thought this would cause over watering

Depends on how bad the problem is... personally I never like to flush. If I overnute i won't flush the plants, i just let them suffer till the next feed. Where they will most likely get the same feed again, as the last one would only have been a slight overnute anyway, and plants need more nutes as they grow.

Personally i'd much rather just give them a balanced feed after any problems are discovered, flushing can do more harm than good, and there should never be a need for it on a small indoor grow.

IF you are using a bubble bucket, simply change the EC level to a motre acceptable one.
