Listen. If all you did was to start them in mg soil, don't panic .. flush dont do any of that shit. MG soil is time release. Soil flushing will do NOTHING! The nutes are in little beads in the soil. The little bit of yellow forming at the tips of your leafs, that's necrosis caused by a little to much water. This can be attributed to the moisture retainers in MG soil! The little bit of blotchyness dark and light greens in the leafs, is caused by haveing too much nitrogen. This is not going to kill the plant, however, it won't help. Try this re-pot. Let your plant dry out, just before the verge of drooping. Turn it upside down and gently shake it out of the pot. But first Fill your LARGER container 2/3 full of soil mix. Find one with 0-0-0, or .05-0-0, something in that range, mix more perolite in the soil. Most prepared soil mixes have some, but in "my" opinion, weed grows better when it drains and drys well. It also facilitates final flush a little better. You can then add a cup or so guano and worm castings, mix this in well. Use a large enough container so you will not have to do another transplant on this plant. Put it in it's permenent home. Now back on point... remove plant as previously described let some or most of that MG soil fall away. don't shake or handle the roots. Salt from your hands could burn them. Just let it fall away. While supporting your plant upright set it in the pot on the soil mix. Fill in around it so this transplanted plants roots grow down in the soil. . you want to maxamize the space for the roots to grow, under and around the plant, so place it as close to the top of this new pot as possible. Water liberally and replace under lights this should solve your problem, giving your plant a chance to re-cover and grow the way it should.

I thank you for your long and very helpful post. If i can ask you for one more favor i would be indebt for saving this plant.can you tell me what soil i should buy. There isnt a very good selection of soil where i am at. the only store i have near me is Lowes so if you could please link me to a decent brand of soil to transplant this into it would help very much.

What you need is a ph/moisture tester. I always check it with one of those first. If it tests too wet add some pellet lime or even some ashes from an ash tray if you're organic. Wait till the meter reads low moisture before watering again.

i would say get any soil that dont have time released ferts in it, and use your own ferts later as needed i use all organic soil and use liquid seaweed extract and molasses as fertilizer because its free for me since im close to the ocean good luck and keep us posted on how she turns out
listen to melungeonman he knows what hes talkin about i had almost the same problem last grow with miracle grow

agree DO NOT FLUSH you will just burn her up. and MG is not evil, i have seen some really good grows out of them. just add perlite to it and easy on the watering for 4-5 weeks :)
