its either this or the plant has to harden off the two options he has if he flushes he will most likely kill the plant
Never used these kind of soils but if flushing releases nutes like you say wouldn’t you just keep flooding it with water and the nutes get released and go straight down the drain?

Surely flushing would still work. Unless your saying the nutes aren’t soluble in water?

the amount of time u would need to flush would just equal the drowning of your plant lol

Thats mostly peat moss with a bit of perlite, lightly buffered.
Not releasing anything at this point.

You repeat the flush with fresh water several times in one sitting. Strips the dirt of most everything that has accumulated. Just a normal watering to the plant. Extra dry day for it after. And a lower ph at last flush reduces the plants ability to take up the nutrients enough for it to recover.

If you are using a soil that has nutes in it already than you could reduce this amount...They already have a little tip burn which is a sign of over fertilizing. I'd start with a 50% weaker solution and go from there....or just plain water for now if your soil already has nutes.
What he said, just lower feed rate, lower watering rate, and maybe get some microbes in there

im more saying that because I run picky strains and if they go wet for more than 12 hrs they start going necrotic

Those seed starters actually contain fert. You need an actual potting mix that includes compost, worm castings, perlite and no added fert. Starters are high N for a brief period of time. If you stay in them too long. You burn.

Then I would be overwatering if it was my plant. The remedy is another dry 12-24 hours. And my feed and or ph is off.

Fox Farm, Pro-mix, Coast of Maine, alot of decent organic blends out there now. I just suggest some perlite and coco added for drainage and aeration.

What should I do rn to keep it alive until I get new soil or stuff to add. I’ve just been giving it water adding more as it got bigger doing half of it then half 30min later no nutrients the water is ph 6.5. It’s super dry hasn’t been watered in maybe 4-5 days
