have 6, 2 month old plants, which were all planted in the same pot and left outside allday. i fed them too much so last week they got nute burn, and i also noticed what i think might be spider mites. and started to look in bad shape, 2 nights ago i started 12/12. but, today i transplanted them all to seperate pot and i used alittle root stimulizer, they look in even worse shape now. should i keep on with the 12/12 or? how do plants recover from nute burn? let me know what you think. I NEED HELP.

i find the best way to cure nute burn as quickly as possible is to flush the pot with at least 2x the volume of water as the size of the pot. this will remove excess fertilizer and get your plants ingesting plain water. it's good to do every now and then to flush salts anyway, so now is as good a time as ever.

that's basically it. wait until they need to be watered, then keep adding water and let it run through until you've put 2-3x the volume of the soil through it. the nutrients are water soluble, so they'll come out with the water.
