A bit of dishwasher soap given to moms by mistake? Are they fried?

Had a friend take care of my moms while I was out of town... about a week later they look a bit deformed. I have six of them in there, two look fairly contaminated... mutated leaves (three leaves) Growth isn't really stunted but when I pushed my hand onto the mother that looked the worst and then smelled it, it smelled a bit like dishwasher soap.

I'm guessing my friend cleaned the container we put the water in, and didn't rinse it well enough. I just ran a bunch of water through all of them, more through the ones that look like they may have received water with a bit of wishwasher soap in it.

Are these moms fucked? I have to take cuts 2-3 weeks from now. Again, not all of them are fucked up... but I'm curious what I should do about this. We use the all natural dishwasher soap, it may not matter, but I gave them a solid flushing... and will again tomorrow to try to get whatever was given to them out.

Assuming it was dishwasher soap, are these ladies fried? The growth really isn't stunted at all, they just don't appear as happy as usual.. a bit droopy and I noticed some mutated leaves. Will they recover if I flush a shit ton of water through them?

such as you'd get from not rinsing a jug, shouldn't do anything except make water go into the soil faster. A couple of drops of dish soap is a common ingredient in many home-made pest sprays.

A good flush won't hurt and may help.

Granny :hippy:

what stormy said is exactly right!
People do this all the time to aid the soil soaking the water more effeciently :)

Defiantely flush it quite a bit though as it seems there is more than a few drops in there!

Should be fine in no time!

a drop or two on non-antibacterial dish soap on days when you only water will help with salt buildbup. you don't want to use antibacterial soap as this can harm the beneficial organisms in your soil.

If I flush them out solid and they should look good within a week or so? I'm thinking maybe I have something else going on here..... in any case, I flushed will keep ya posted
