As to what you can do?

Flush?

No....it will continue to release the nutes.

The only thing I can do is tell you what I would do if I were you....


Scrape as much top soil off as you can. Get rid of the soil until you scrape roots. Even then some...when you see roots, throw Schultz Rooting Hormone Powder all over the top soil.

Remove plant from container.

Scrape as much soil as you can from the sides....and bottoms. As the roots appear, dust them with Schultz Rooting Powder and keep working. You cant over do it with the rooting hormones...apply to every root you come across.

Get as much dirt off the root as you can...do not penetrate too far into the root ball, but...you need to get the dirt off that you can.

Transplant into new soil and new container. fill with clean fresh WET medium.

This can be similar to open heart surgery. There is a great chance your plant will die in this procedure.

You may want to wait and get some other advice......but the clock is against you.

Wait to see if someone offers a better prognosis and advice....

Sorry but time released nutes are the death knell to these plants.

Best of luck to you johnnyrocket .....

Harddon,

I think you are right on the money with this one, I just transplanted them to these containers a week ago and that is when they were put into that soil. 2 days after that is when the problem started. I am very good at transplanting and can probably get most of the dirt out. I hope I have time to get it done before leaving for Jamacia, but I should I don't want them to dye. What soils would you recomend, like a promix or something as long as it doesn't have the time release right.

Thanks for the help, that is why I took a picture of the soil bag, thought it might be a problem.
