Girl scout cookie.

Any advice on waking this girl back up again? Anything will help. Thank you in advance.
When did you notice it like this ....and I see in the pic the soil looks wet ......so it's not a simple just water and perk back up ......almost looks like it's been watered to death .....more info on everything
 
Yeah I think I might've over did the watering. Probably due to bad drainage. Any advice on helping with over watered plants?

Nice eye. I got distracted by all the yellow leaves and didn't notice those green ones curled back.

If your using pots a super easy way to know when to water is to simply lift the pot before it's been watered then lift again after you water and you'll notice a difference in weight ......another way is to make sure the first inch or so of your soil is bone dry before adding more ....meaning feeling no moisture on your finger down to your first knuckle .........but the very best way which some people are scared of and I don't know why is water your plant and wait until it actually starts to go limp/wilt basically asking you for water .....once watered it will perk right back up and that will let you know how many days you have between watering ......just remember it's good for your roots to get oxygen and let soil dry up between waterings ......if you still have trouble get smart pots/fabric pots they dry out faster IMO and are harder to over water ......good luck

Thank you for the advice. I have them in 4x4bOxes.
K so your best option is going to be letting your plants ask you for water .....so if you know when you watered the last time rather it was today two days ago just wait for your plants to start to go limp and it will be very noticeable don't worry they will perk rite back up before know it once you water ........so just watch them close and when they do like I described above give em some water then count how many days/time it took for them to ask for water and water a lil before that .......and also rite before you water after waiting feel the soil so you know what your set up feels like when it's dry for in the future .......good luck

How about to flushing? Should I flush even though I've over watered?

No. Let them dry up from over watering first then decide what's wrong when you have multiple problems or an undiagnosed problem and you try a bunch to fix it you will most likely hurt it worse it's a plant it wants to grow so sometimes less is more less nuets less water less stress
