yes it can be the problem, the soil is not all wet, maybe half is still moist. what can i do stop with foliar feeding? wait for the soil is complete dry and then water? right now i stop water and put one fan blowing the girls, is this help? next time i gonna use perlite in the soil. i just dont want to loose them, what can i do?
so who can explain this? they are in same pot, but one is recover the other is like you see getting worse. the soil is almost totally dry, i dont water them for the last 6 days. as you can see in my first post they are a lot better before the flush, than after the flush. big mistake. i stop with foliar fedding and water, and one is get better but the other is get worst, what can i do? here the last photo take today. almost all the fan leaves drop and i cut dead material from the one in right. i need advice.
You need to check the ph of your soil runoff.
Okay, this is advice, ...noob to noob!:D
1.)What I would is tip those pots on their sides and VERY GENTLY slide the soil/rootball out of the pot.
2.)VERY CAREFULLY as not to disturb roots too much,remove as much "loose" soil as possible. (Paying a GREAT deal of attention to safety of roots, also in fairly dark area)
3.)Mix a 50/50 pearlite new compost.
4.)Refill pot with about 6'' (or more if neccesary) of new mix.
5.)CAREFULLY reset plant back into pot in new soil, making sure roots are optimally arranged.
6.)Fill sides of bare rootball, bringing the base of your plant up to the rim of pot.
7.)Add 1-2 drops of superthrive to straight water and run full gallon through.
8.)Following day, take a pH runoff test, should be between 6.1-6.9 if I recall correctly.
9.)Start back on reletive nutes. (Obviously small dose)
10.)Hope to hell I wasnt too high when I wrote this advice!
SHOULD get you headed in the right direction:thumbsup:
I am also kinda hopin' to get some feedback myself on this advice from some of our more experienced cultivators!
With a flowering plant, or one that you are about to put into flower, I wouldn't try to remove any of the soil on the root ball.
pH should be 6.5-6.8
Small dose nutes for the first watering, then back up to normal.
Other than that, you're all set.
Chat?
how can i do to chat with you stinky?
so i doing the things that have to be done, stinky? the pots today loose much weight and they are almost complete dry, i think water them tomorrow with plain water or add 1/4 or 1/2strenght nutes? what you think stinky? is this problem affect my weed potency? the babies kinda slow growth in last week because of this.
i am a newbie but i know a few things.Quote:

4-a soil flush causes the plant a great deal of shock and should only be attempted as a last resort if your plant is dying and can not be cured by any other means.
now you understand why i dont want to flush it before try other things.
Actually a soil flush is not just for a dying plant.
I flush my mothers every time I take cuttings from them. They live in small pots and I fertilize them aggressively, so a flush is necessary every once in a while, and doing it at regular intervals prevents problems with salt buildup. It's good for them!
I promise it is safer to flush your plants than to let them sit in poor soil.
The problem I see is that your soil does not drain well. That makes flushing harder, but you still need to do it, test the runoff pH, adjust your flush water to bring it within 6.5-6.8 if it is out, and then do a final flush with some fertilizer solution.
i already make a flush 1 week ago, and i dont see any improvement in my plants, only see they get worse. but if they survive to that flush(it is sad to say but very few plants do survive such an emergency soil flush.the soil flush is, in its essence over-watering your plants to the point of removing most of the minerals and ingredients in the soil.) they now start to recover from the damage of soil flush?
other thing tomorow when i water this plants, should i add nuts to the water at 1/2 strenght or less? or give just plain water?
