Please help my plants are dying and i am not sure why? Not looking to get bashed as i am a first time grower but as long as you can help then bash me all you want. I will most certainly learn from it. I can provide any info needed. They are in ocean forest fox farms soil. I kept using fox farms nutrients every watering for a while and just stopped the past 2 waterings and used only water. Is this bad nutrient burn? What could this be i will do anything to save my girls. Please.

Nute overdose. FFOF is a hot soil to begin with. You need only water for the first 3 weeks of veg. Additionally never follow nutrient companies recommended doses. They are always too hot. Try a quarter recommended doses and go from there.

Looks like you are overwatering as well. Water then lift your pot and remember that weight. Wait until your soil is completely dry and lift pot again and remember that weight. Dont water until the pot is light and dry.

At this point he needs to flush that shit. Its guaranteed built up with salts if we are correct in assuming he went full strength.

Depending on what size pots they are in.. you can put them into a plastic bucket.. because you have fabric buckets you can force that flush water thru fast.. and you can flush without leaving a shit ton of water in the bottom of your pot sitting. All you want is moist soil really.
I have 3 gal fabric pots so I use a 3gal bucket.. I put the pot in.. water.. and pull the pot out slowly.. it crates a vacuum sucking the water out the bottom into the bucket. In your case... I'd do it to get all those steroids out of your soil.

looks same as mine. 3 gal but if you have buckets smaller than 5 gal.. I'd just dip one in and use one that fits the tightest dry without forcing it in... nothing ever good comes from forcing something in when it's dry

So i put the dry soiled plant bag in the dry bucket with a tight fit but not to tight, then i pour water into the bucket then slowly pull it out? If so how much water do i fill in the bucket? Up to the brim of the bag?

Yup.. I guess depending on the bucket size.. maybe a 1/2 gal at a time before pulling out of the bucket.
