Hello Forum,
This is my first grow, and everything was going very well until 3 days ago. I believe that I used way too much phosphorus and potassium, and that i severely burned 2 of my poor girls. Once I realized that I had done something terrible and cruel to my girls, I thoroughly flushed the soil with PH'ed water, about 2.5 times the amount the buckets hold. Did I kill them? Is there any hope for them to recover? I acknowledge that this is surely a learning experience and I will never make this mistake again, however it is frustrating and dispiriting. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. I really just want to know if there's any hope left for them :/

The first couple pictures are the small plant which got it the worst. The last few are the bigger one, which also got it bad, although not as bad.

Dig what I did to help a friend who overwatered (my number one pet peeve just ahead of you guys and your frigging nutrients) - I have built several DWC units and one is not running. Took the pump to his house with 2 pieces of tubing. Weed puller down in to make a hole and tubing in. Repeat and turn the pump on. He had to go to work up on the North Slope for 3 weeks so I went by and checked. Now I have never done this before but his plane was leaving and it was his job so no transplant.

Anyway just got back. The leaves are glossy as hell! The air seems to be driving some of the moisture back to the surface where his fans seem to be drying it. I did this right near the main root mass as the roots are what need oxygen which water deprives them of. Lay off the nutrient soup, man. Would you try pumping your son up on human growth hormone for football? When I bring that pump home I might try O2 therapy for my roots with it. Anybody ever done that or heard of it?

They might recover, but they have to work to recover themselves and now thats where they will concentrate their energy and that sucks because you want them to concentrate their energy on producing bud. SO, while they may recover, they wont reach their maximum potential now.
But, try to bring them back for the learning experience anyway. They may not be a total loss.
I dont know how long you've been at it, but overwatering/overnute is a very common new growers mistake.

What's done is done, the burned leaves won't heal, but as long as there is green, there is hope:clap:
Just plain water for a while and keep talkin' to them and giving 'em love:hump::hump::hump:
