Glad you don't like flushing! Got a problem? Water it out with no added nutrient except maybe Ca/Mg if you use it.
Flushing can cause other problems down the road. Be SURE to pH all ingoing liquids to 6.5 and forget about pHing the soil.
Re potted to the 5 gallon not to long ago? It'll take 2 weeks for the roots to spread out and begin filling the pot. That means that the soil stays "moist" longer then normal. This gives way to the MINOR over watered look. That will improve on it's own in a week or so. Don't sweat it.
I asked how often do you water, because even if you use the "how heavy is it" method. There is STILL an amount of time between waterings. That's what I wanted to know.
Ok, you transplanted it, right? You still used some type of nutrition in early veg, right? That's what I wanted to know too!
There is a short period of time from transplant that what you used will combine with what you transplanted into to effect the plant. You put it in the "hot" soil and I wanted to know what you fed it to give you a more specific time frame to recovery other then 7-18 days.
Simply continue to use a pHed straight water for a week or so and you'll see your plant improve on it's own.
BTW, I use a metered amount of water everyday. The amount is exactly enough to carry me to the next day at lights on. I do it this way so I can more "exactly" control how much of anything I give them or not. I feel I can respond to a "problem" quicker and get the plant back to health and stability faster and more accurately.
