Need Help,nute burn.

I'm using some shitty miracle grow soil,because it was all I could afford at the time on some diesel ryders.

The nutrient balls seem to have all popped and are nuking the fuck out of my plants.

Its time to water them again,and I was wanting to know if flushing them with distilled water will help.

They are about 35 days old.
The nute burn is not so bad,but is getting worse.

I would repot into a better and milder soil. I cannot imagine being able to effectively flush that "timed-release" stuff. cn

Damn,I hate to do that because of these autoflowers being so stupid about repotting,But its worth it I guess.

I worry that it's that, or watch'em die. You're in panic mode here imo. cn

Yep,Gonna go get some more soil today,Rather have a few days growth stunt than watch them die. Thanks bro!

Just an FYI for the future...flushing to get ri of nutes in soil always makes overfert worse, almost never makes it get better.

The exception is when the nutes were applied as a solution and not initially present in the soil. cn

How so?

Over fert usually refers to over fertilisation of the medium. Too many salts build in the medium and this slows the passage of K, making it more difficult for plants to take up. This shows first on the fan leaves, making the edges of the leaves necrotic (or burned). One way to tell the difference between over and under feeding is that an over fed plant will be perfectly healthy aside from the death of the fan leaves. An underfed plant will most likely have other deficiencies too, like purple stems from a P deficiency and yellowing leaves from nitrogen deficiency. Non of this accounts for genetic predispositions toward poor nutrient take up either though.

sometimes things go wrong and it's nobody's fault but the plant's.

However if too many salts are in the medium it is better to flush them out of there.

I wasn't able to pick any great soil up today,as I live in the middle of no where.

I did buy this however.

organic top soil
Peat moss
perlite

Will I be able to use this mix?

I'm repotting them now. any specific way to do this,since the soil Thats in the rootball is all the miracle grow crap.
