Hi i decided to take a look at my plants right now and i was shocked at what i saw... The leaves on all the plants are starting to shrivel up. I have no idea what happened they were fine yesterday. Its 3 bluebrries and 2 lowryders... Please someone help me before its too late if it isnt already. I posted some pics of the plants to make it easier to figure out the problem.

Sorry but thats all i know about the plants. I wasnt that big on details when i decided to grow.
Why do you have hydroton on top of your soil? Take it off unless you pretreated it at the proper ph.
Why do people mix totally different mediums with totally different ph needs together? I don't get it.
Hmmmmm........
Could be overnute
could be screwed up ph due to the hydroton
could be rootbound
could have root disease
sorry.....I'm not big on details without much information.
Best of luck......but i'm not even sure where to start.
Ok well would transplanting them and flushing them maybe help the problem or is it too late already? And how do i go about flushing them?
It's not too late......the best thing to do is transplant into a larger pot with QUALITY soil and make sure you water them with water that is ph'd between 6.2-6.8 until they shape back up. Your twisted leaves will not fix themselves but the new growth should be normal. My personal favorite soil is Fox Farm Oceans Forest.
And get rid of the hydroton asap!

Can't really flush until you can check ph.......flushing them with water at an incorrect ph will send them right over the edge.
And consider a good product like Cannazym or Sensizym for root health......it'll take away a lot of the worries associated with root problems.

you can however use hydro nutes in a soil medium as long as it is PH adjusted and the nute is compatible.
lemon juice in water is PH down.
baking soda in warm water is PH up.
LJ is 3ml to 1gallon to drop ~.5 PH
BS is ~1-1.5 TSP to raise ~.5 ph
DO NOT MIX BOTH!
i use a cheap PH tester from lowes.
the most accurate to use is a fish tank tester tho.
just dab a couple pool/aquarium strips in your tap water.
then add your nutes.
after that adjust your ph.
let stand for about a hour then check one last time.
if your tap PH is around the mid 6's through the mid 7's you should be alright.
but strive for a Ph around 7.
once you have adjusted you tap PH to ~7 you then do a runoff test.
you should just keep duming water on them till it pours out the bottom.
the dab a few testers in that water and see.
if you continue to use Ph 7 water the soil should straighten itself out.
best of luck.
