My wife had some spikes that you shove into the soil.... I put the rest of the pack in the soil.

Those things are not good for cannabis... the rest of the pack? nooo!

picked up some organic potting soil with bat guano already in it and a two pound box of bat guano. I took the potting soil and mixed in some Cactus mix potting soil and two tablespoons of fresh guano. I separated the two (unhealthy) plants from the soil that I obviously ruined with too much fertilizing spikes, rinsed out the roots, and replanted them with the new potting mixture.

Rinsing roots can be done. It sounds like your soil mix is still really 'hot'... bat guano is very very rich and 2 tablespoons in that small pot, added to pre-ferted soil, strikes me as excessive.

I have a tendency of over doing things and really donâ??t want to lose my last remaining plant.

lol you are right, you are over-doing things. When in doubt, UNDER-feed, because deficiencies are much easier to correct than ruined soil.

I modified my pot to allow the water to flow through relatively freely. (I learned this from growing cactus)

That is a very good idea. If it has a drain tray under, remove it. Extra holes are good too, especially for you becaus enow you must FLUSH.

When the water comes out the bottom of the pot It is very dark. I am wondering if I am flushing out the nutrients in the soil and if it would be a good Idea if I collected that water to feed the plant with. Kind of, recycling my irrigation water so to speak.

Yeah keep flushing. And use the water on your shrubbery, NOT anywhere near your cannabis plants. You WANT to flush out the nutrients in the soil at this point. And then let it dry out pretty well.. it looks like over-watering is also an issue.
