So she was doing really good for about 4 weeks. Overwatered her and she went into shock. Shes really struggling to get back to life. Is she too far gone? Shes planted in a 5 gallon smart pot with coco coir/peralite mix. 300 watt viperspectra led light. I water ever other day with distilled water. Every other watering i add CalMag to the water. I have another plant right next to her that was planted the exact same time and gets the same setup/feed and is doing great. There are a few new signs off life, but overall shes not doing much. First timer over here so feel free to bash my methods. Thanks!

At first yeah I was. Was adding CalMag with every watering. As of recently though (last 2 weeks) ive been watering them every other day and adding CalMag to water every other watering. My other plants is doing great. This one as you can see is not...

So you think i should hold off on the CalMag for now? I posted another picture so you can see actual set up. The one on the right was planted at the same time. Should i just stick with watering them with distilled water for now?

Stop giving them nutes full stop. Just water them when the leaves look like they need watering (just water only). YouTube when to water if you don't know what that look like. After 4 weeks, started with the nutes, once per week. That soil will be full of whatever nutes you have given them already

I'm.not sure on recommending a flush as I have never needed to do this. Maybe another member may be able to help.

When did you last water?

Yea back off the nutes, shell be ok, id drill some small holes all over that container... i love coco in air/smart pot type set ups..

I typically feed water water... with breathable pots and coco they need water every other day even in veg often so they dont lack for nutrition at all.. oh and i mix em at 3/4 strenghth even when i feed em..

Don't use distilled water. Straight tap is fine. Maybe 1 or 2 percent of people have water that can't be used. I can pretty much guarantee that you're not one of them.

I'm wondering if you may have a ph imbalance from using distilled water.

Yea never thought of that, I use tap water too those micro goodies aren’t all bad... remember weed survived as a weed for milenia before the advent of the modern indoor grower... she’s not as fussy as some will have you to beleive....
