Sad plants need some cheering up
so I should flush soil every once in awhile so old nutes dont build up and cause a lockup situation. Or am I confused? should I flush all plants? Can I sink pure water in for the next week or so in hopes of washing that stuff out... I dont want to kill them with too much water (I think that will Happen)

No they can't "sit"' in water.....your roots will need oxygen and pure water will suffocate them.
Flushing should be a one time thing that you do when your soil chemistry goes out of control so you should water her with several gallons but make sure she has adequate drainage. Iff you need to drill more holes in the bottom of your pot to make sure the water drains out well. No "sitting" in water for any length of time
edit: so perhaps X Factor gave you good advice in the first place....even if for different reasons. Just make sure you have adequate drainage.
Good luck.

I ran afew gallons of water through and checked the rn off Ph with those strips, it said about 6, I wish I had a better Ph reader but lack the funds at this point in time. is that ok or what should be done?

Water her with QUARTER STRENGTH nutes at ph 6.5 or the absolute closest you can get to it.....your ph is important so consider a good tester sometime down the road. Right tool for the right job as my old man always used to say LOL! Then leave her to dry out.
Seriously very light nute amount ph'd right exactly in the middle. An actual six is too low but without PRESCISE INSTRUMENTATION you can only do the best you can.

all of the fan leaves are mad droopy, how long does that usually last for should I be worried at a certain point? I drilled a bunch of holes and in the process cracked the bottom, so Iam guessing there is enough drainage. Was the soil chemistry out of control since the runoff ph was 6? Thanks for all of your help...almost done

don't have a ppm or ec tester do you? Love to know.....but more out of curiosity.
Some of the leaves will rebound and some won't and will stay a bit tweaked looking but new growth should be improved. Since you just flushed you've removed all the nutes from the soil.....that's why we're putting some back in before we leave her to dry. Then pick out a different feeding plan (a little less of things I would say) and chug on.
Good luck.
When ph rises I wonder about nuteburn but when roots die off they acidify things.......so basically yes your soil chemistry was out of balance.
