If these plant's are only 16 day's into flower i will eat my hat,But when flushing just get some water out of the tap and you can ph it to the same ph has yr feed is then just keep pooring onto the grow medium till the water run's clear.But i just flush with water straight out of the tap wait for the water too run clear then leave till water stop,s trickleing from the bottom of the pot's,then i follow this with a fresh made nute mix.Before anyone says it i have been doing this for years and never had any problem's,Flush and feed i first found out about doing this of a grower in holland and has long has the old nutes have been flushed there is no need to let the plants go without valuble feed time........................tyke.......................................

I see signs of heat stress and low humidity also. Need better pics of the lower leaves to be sure whats up with them.

Normally to flush you will require about 3 times the volume of the pot that they are in. So long as the soil is good and drains well it wont overwater them or anything untoward

They may just be dying from lack of light being so low on the plant. Really no obvious signs of a deficiency. Just make sure they are getting a complete diet.

I generally do the same. When I feed I add peroxide to the mix also as a little insurance to oxygenate.

i noticed your getting a bit of leaf cupping, when that happens to me its usually because of over watering/heat stress. ( i cant always control my room temps due to where i grow and i sometimes cant get to them everyday)......and im a lazy alcoholic.

I highly suggest that you stay away from superthrive. Considering the "Concern" you have shown for these ladies, superthrive is the last thing you want.

Take it easy, don't fuck with the ladies much and you will be fine. Stop looking for ways to address nonexistent problems as you will only stress her out.

as above. this is a really common mistake with new growers( i did it too). they may feel like your babies but they dont need constant attention. just let em grow bro.
