lookin type wet dude. let em dry out for like 5-7 days no water. if you need to flush just make sure the drainage is good and put water in them until it starts to come through the bottom. think of it as rinsing shampoo out of your hair. the more water the better the flush and less nutes (or shampoo) will be left. but once you flush them let em rest for about a week. then add a superweak nutrient blend into the water. and do that only when the plants start to look as though they are needing nutrients. when they start to turn yellow or pale green. underloving your plants is truly caring for them as they can get smothered easily. in nature they tend to grow in sunny, but dry places. once a week watering should be good in most cases.

What is their environment like, such as ventilation etc.. can you give us the rundown? I dont know much on flushing but you're supposed to keep adding water, let it all drain until the water is more clear than it was before hand but if you have already been over watering it may not be such a good idea, by the looks of the pictures, looks like they will be fine with a lil TLC!

It stays at about 70*-78*

24 Hours of light (6 cfls pushing a total of about 10,000 lumen)

Except for when Im sleeping or not at home, the oscillating fan stays on and for a good 8 hours they get fresh air from a window less than 3 feet away.

I have been lowering the water amount by a lot, and when I water I always make sure when I stick my finger in the soil I feel little to no moisture. Its usually pretty dry when I water.

Yea in the picture I had JUST watered them. Maybe I should just ease off then huh? Maybe Im just a little paranoid......lol. I really dont think there over watered, the soil gets pretty dry in day or two after I water.

You guys think I should hold off on the flushing and just see what happens? Would it be better to not flush them if they dont need it? Or do you think there not that bad right now to worry about flushing?

Thanks so much fellas.

I think they will be fine, however if they start looking worse then flush immediately (they say under watering is better than over watering) your plants environment appears to be fine, although I would leave the fan running 24/7 at least when the lights are on....

Dude, break down and get a moisture meter. They are like less than ten bucks and way better than your finger. :) Do you ph your water?

I give mine water when the meter is less than 4.

stop using that shultze stuff; wrong fert for that stage of life, it'll work ok for flower, but not for seedlings (you're frying them....)

if you can't afford a top quality canna-specific nute formula, go with miracle grow 24-8-16 all purpose plant food for veg. all of my plants react very well to this one.

i use gh three part, great stuff if you can get it....

don't flush, just don't feed anymore for a week or so. just plain water, use up the nutes that are already there.

hope this helps...

I say start feeding them 1/2 streangth growth nutes. I waited way too long and then didnt feed enough onmy first grow. the result was extreamly stunted growth

Ok thats what I did when I transplanted them and so for nothing worsened from this, maybe the browning will just go away, but there getting bigger.

I don't think your browning will go away. Rather it will just stop browning.

BTW, what is that green stuff down at the bottom of the wall? If it is mold, get some bleach and kill it. Frigging spores !!!!
