Need some help with PETG printing

Set up:

flashforge adventurer 5m (2nd hand found in recycle room at apartment complex and seemed fine until I started using PETG)

0.4mm nozzle new

Inland PETG+

nozzle temp 250C

Bed temp 80

Orca slicer

Inland filament dryer set to 50C With RH OF 14-20%

I have been trying to figure out this material for a week and im not sure what to do i initially thought it was a feed issue or a speed issue but after slow everything down a bit. Im still getting blobs forming around the nozzle during initial layer printing. As well as the layer getting printed is rough maybe poor adhesion.

I kept also having failures on the temp tower calibration print from orca after 245 it would bird nest and then completely fail.

I adjusted the z axis from 0.025mm to 0.050mm

Here are the photos I have of the issues. Any advice is appreciated or some good sources to use to learn how to dial in materials would be huge.

On Inland PLA is have no issues with the presets in orca or printables. Just seems to be having an issue with the petg.

Im trying to print a corner shelf so I wanted to try going with a more durable polymer

I will update after this test run with the modified z height.

Also are they any good recommended calibration prints or calibration that I should have done after getting this printer that could be effecting it.
