How to correct mistake of using Miracle Grow? PLEASE HELP

So i made the beginner mistake of using Miracle Grow from my first two autoflowering plants. I got away with it during the veg stage but now that they're flowering I'm starting to see some burn on the tips of the leaves. It's starting to spread inwards and I'm fairly confident that if i don't do anything my poor babies will die. So, correct me if i'm wrong, but I need to flush the nitrogen out of the soil.

I did just transplant them from a .75 gallon pot to a 1 gallon pot (I understand this is not the ideal size pot, but it's a stealth grow - I have no other choice) and I added organic soil and some moss rather than more miracle grow. Will I still need to flush them if I did this or should I just wait it out?

I have heard that if you try flushing miracle grow it actually just activates waay more nitrogen rather than flushing it out. Is this true? Any help is EXTREMELY appreciated. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

How long they been in there?

That is what i was thinking. If the mg was going to kill it, it would already be dead. Probably poured the bloom feed to it.

I use mg products. Some times i even buy the cheaper expert brand veg or bloom in the box. 3 bucks a box. Get stuff just as pretty as the expensive stuff

They've been in there for at least two months now. I suppose you're right in saying that if they were going to be dead, they'd be gone by now. I have just seen soo many people saying that this specific MG that i'm using is horrible for growing cannabis.

How old are the plants from seed n can we get some pics?

The end game is for the plant to die right? so if they're late in flowering and leaves are just starting to show minor damage I really wouldn't worry about it. Perfectly healthy leaves don't have much benefit on a harvested plant...I haven't grown too many plants yet but on the handful that I have grown all showed a little yellowing on fans by the time I was chopping...One actually looked like absolute shit but still had fat buds n turned out to be more potent than one that looked extremely healthy by chop time (different strains so not really a side by side, but w.e..).

I think there's a misconception that if your leaves aren't perfectly healthy then there's a problem...the plants natural life cycle is to veg, flower (ideally reproduce) and then die...from what I can tell they're literally genetically encoded to start cannibalizing leaves towards the end of their life cycle...not that you should neglect your plants if there is an issue, but I don't think a lot of peoples' plant 'problems' are as serious as they might think. No way to know in your case without some more info and images but something to ponder lol...

2 mo in so on a lot of auto strains you'd be getting close(ish..)...is this a shorter flowering strain or whatcha got going on?

From what I've read MG isn't that bad really - they just utilize time release nutes, so sometimes people burn their plants simply by watering (water releases the nutes I guess)...I'm not advocating MG but it is possible to get good results with it because when it comes down to it MJ is a plant like any other, doesn't take anything miraculous to make a weed grow...plus they're resilient as fuck and 'want' to be alive as much as you want them to be - they adapt fairly well from what I've seen and can still thrive in less than ideal conditions

I've used miracle grow plenty of times with no ill effects.

Id think that it should have used up most of the nutes in the soil by now if you are into flowering. Are you sure its over fert and not underfed now and the leaves are dying off since you arent feeding?

I had issues with MG mix in veg being too hot but a good flush helped clear it out. problem is those little time release fertilizer balls. they get wet enough then pop/ dissolve and release the nutrients. flushing tends to cause some of them to release. id flush and measure run off ppm.

I'd avoid time release just because you're never sure what your plants are getting.

How long are your auto's supposed to go for? Many advocate flushing and using no nutes the last week or two

MiracleGro Potting Mix is full of organic nutrients, mostly in the form of small pieces of wood. There is no way the MG PM is responsible for any over-nute problems. If that is your problem I suggest you are adding too many nutes yourself. The problem is not your dirt.

Good luck, BigSteve.
