the water is gonna slide right thru the pot like the hershey squirts into the bucket as you pull.. Just hold the bucket down between your feet when you do it.

I don’t want to second-guess you guys but we seem to be assuming this happened overnight. When did the problem start, what were the initial symptoms? It looks like some plants are straight-up dead — did that happen overnight or how long?

We could all definitely be off. But he was running full strength on the fox farm nutes. Those babies gotta be sitting in lava.

flush, water w half the normal dose of nutrients and leave em alone.. looks like heavy overwatering to me..
I notice alot of problems come because people get bored.. and are infatuated with their bud plants .. which, yes, are amazing.
But they dont need 24 7 attention..and when we watch em all day every day.. we end up feeling the need to do too much.. water wayy more than needed.. over fertilize.. over analyze every small issue..etc..
Its best to leave her alone besides the smallest most basic growing actions.. such as .. turn light on.. examine plant quick for any issues.. check the soil for dryness..water if needed.. now leave.. turn light off hours later and check quick for issues again.. now go away lol)
Shes lookin rough.. but if you flush out the soil ... then give her 1 dose of nutes.. and proper light and temps.. and let the soil dry.. she will recover and be amazing too..

Your plants are not that big, and not flowering. I can’t tell how big your bags/pots are, but the severe damage already apparent in these plants and the potential damage on the way would IMO necessitate transplanting them into NEW soil. If you really want to save them 100% that’s what I would do, and skip the flushing.

Transplanting is a good idea. That would cancel the need for added nutrients for a couple weeks allowing the plants to recover.

Flushing before Transplanting is absolutely necessary in his position. He has salts built up from giving full strength fox farms line up.

If he doesn't flush the salts before transplant he will be slowing down the recovery as the plants will still be trying to up take the super hot mix he has given them. Flush 1st but I agree a transplant and no nutes is a solid way to go.

Point taken; I amend my above to flush THEN transplant. And would also like to thank you for your courteous and respectful reply even though you disagreed somewhat with my assessment. This is another reason why I like RIU.

I completely agree. This forum is helpful and the folks are pretty chill. It seems we all just really want to help others grow better.

Its how it should be imho.

After flushing do i wait for it to dry to transplant right? Anything else i should do to be sure i don't damage roots or anything and transplant safely? Do i need any kind of gel or anything to transplant. Just being safe. Thank you all so much.

What size is the pot your plants are in again?

No gels required. Good soil Phd water and the correct sized pot is what you will need.

Yes wait for it to dry out after flush.

I personally double my pots at a minimum when transplanting. So maybe a 7.5 gallon would be right.

The more new soil you can add to this the better for you and the plant. It offers more space for root growth and it offers a longer time of fresh nutrients so you dont have to add any and the plant can recover better.

one last thing.

When flushing use at least double the gallons of your pot.

Your pot is 3 gallon. Use 6 gallons of Phd water to flush that shit out. You have definitely got major salts built up and will need a big flush to get them out.

They are actually only 1 gal. Would 3 gal bags work? Or should i get 5 gal.
