To flush or not to flush

[Bongname=Terminator]

I have some 3.5 week old seedlings in my closet right now, and I'm afraid they might be getting nute burn.

The problem here is that the plants were recently watered (probably a little too much actually, they are a bit droopy this morning). So now I can't decide to flush them and let them dry or not.

Also, I am worried that my attempted flushing will release more time-released nutes from my MG soil.

Is it worth the risk?

3.5 weeks- how big of pots are they in ?
when you transplant to bigger pots. no more MG soil. Get some FoxFarm Ocean Forest or equivelant.
Im not sure on the flushing of MG with the time realsed nutes. Thats why i said to use some good soil. I would shake as much of the Old soil off as i could when transplnting too.
Ive never liked the taste of MG in MJ. SO, i may be biased. Check the search tab for Flushing MG. Youll probably find another thread on it.

Never use soil with time release fertilizer in it for seedlings. I don’t even like it for older plants because you can never be sure just what your plants are getting and in what amounts and if there are signs that they need additional nutrients it can be difficult to know what amount will be safe to give them.

Repot your seedlings in fresh soil without any nutrients in them. Myself I would do a bare root repotting but for some reason the thought of that seems to horrify many here so maybe you will not feel comfortable doing it but by doing it you will remove all of the soil that is burning your plants now.

Lightly water so there will not be any air pockets in the soil but then let them dry out slightly so they get beyond having been over watered.
