Okay so my plant is overwatered. Has been for about 4 days. I checked and theres new root growth, but the soil is dry and its condition hasn't changed. Pot is super light. Super confused. My other plants soil is still moist but have mostly recovered from the overwatering and are fine.
 
More info - im running 2 mars hydro ts1000's at the moment dimmed to around 70% Running average temps of 25°C and humidity of 55% but lowered it to 25% to try and dry them out quicker. Im using liquid nutes and water at a PH of 6.0 I usually try to aim for 10% run off. 4 fans pushing air around the tent.
 
I would say something with your soil or environment as all your plants look the same.
Some are yellowed because I flushed and didn't reaply nutes. I run a VPD of 1.2 but thats out the window because they're overwatered. Which is causing my deficiencies. Just need help with this one because its not recovering.
 
Soak the soil then wait until you lift the pot and it feels like it's full of polystyrene then repeat.
It is super light, just hesitant to give it more water because of its condition. I think I'll follow holla's advice and keep it dry for a while and see how it does

I'll worry about fixing problems with the leafs after they've recovered. Can't do much until they get better

You don't want it to be completely dry for to long as it will damage the roots and healthy roots are very important. You want it to dry out so it feels like polystyrene like I said but then this is when you want to water it you don't want to keep it like that for days as that becomes underwatering and leads to an unhealthy plant

Indeed but it seems to just have dried out today checked the rootball and new roots are still growing despite it looking dry

Have you lifted the pot and looked at the holes on the bottom, you should be able to see if the soil is dry or damp if it's dry water it.
