Bugs, pesticide, locked up?

First time posting here so bare with me. Have large plants in the veg stage. Had some aphids in the growing medium. Ran the correct amount of Nuke Em through the plants, let sit for 2 hours and then flushed the 15 gallon pots with about 10 gallons of water. Flushed again a couple days later. The plants have seemed to have taken the form of what I'm guess is nute lock. The leaves are yellowing severely, curling and some have been dropping off. Any suggestions?

The label says spray leaves and stem .... Disposal of product ( leftover amount ) can be dumped in a shrub or tree.

I didnt like using this too much because it can burn certain strains. I used SNS 217 ( rosemary based ) with a similar low tox benefit.

Neem oil/cake or Dr. Earth Finalike Stop. No risk of poisoning anyone; super-effective.
What is Neem cake bro?

I know some guys here like Dr. Earth and I bought them bloom and veg powders. Good stuff.

Looks like they nailed it on bug spray to with garlic oil and other things.

What looks cool is the garlic oil stays around for weeks which could help someone get through flower.

I wish it came in a concentrate for a gallon sprayer.

Nevermind. They are overwatered. You probably overflushed them, and you may have pH and P/K/Mg issues from leaching everything from the pot.

Put some rounded nutrients according to the phase you are in back in the pots and optimize conditions for it to dry out. It MAY come back if you restabilize the pot and let her dry. N doesn't leach as easy as P, K, and Mg do, so go easy on the N.

That's exactly what I did and am waiting for it to dry out. Everything is always ph'd properly before it goes in according to its ppm. Just trying to figure out why it happened and if should just chop and start over now or wait it out.

Well, give her a week to see how she copes. She doesn't look to be flowering yet, so she might still have enough life to get past this without too much of a stunted growth even. It all depends if her leaves evaporate their water content in time. Maybe a dehumidifier, watched carefully?
