Flushing will cause ur plants to droop like that for a bit. It's because all the water that's been through the soil so quickly, that it is starving the roots of the o2 that they're used to. No worries, it'll perk up again, Just be sure to le tit dry out real good before watering again. May I ask, why did u flush? Plant looks to have been strong and healthy beforehand.

the reason i flushed them is because i put them into flowering and i used a fertalizer for vegging and i wanted to flush it and because i am using different vertalizer for flowering

Honestly, u don't needto flush nothin out unless there's somehin up with the soil, like a ph lockout, or somethin. Alls u gotta do as far as nutes go when u switch to flowering is simply swithch over to ur flowering nutes. I assume ur veggin nutes are probobly high in N and u thought to flush it out for the P and K for flowering? That is not what u want to do. U want to stock up the palnts N supplies before flowering. Then when u switch to the flowering nutes, which will be low in N, the plant then will have enough N stocked up within to make it through the flowering process.

I have heard of some really big, well established growers/seed bank owners who said that they actually continue their veg nutes at %10 strength for the first 2 weeks of flower along with their flower nutes. they do this to prevent alot of leaves from yellowing and dying off during the last weeks of flowering.

I agree, you didn't really need to flush. there is nothing about your different nutes that will make them have an unpleasant reaction if they do a little overlapping. just don't let your overall levels get too high

You didn't really need to flush but in the future if you do, you can add 30ml of 3% peroxcide to a gallon of water to keep the roots oxygenated.

how does this sound?.....i have to water in a day or two, what if i mix 1/10 or 2/10 veg fert with flowr ferts at 1/4 to start into flowering. i havent ever use full strength fert mix, my veg fert is 20-20-20 and flower is 15-30-15 and all the micro nutes. and put a little peroxide??? if any one has recomendation sor the first feeding in flowering plz feel free to post!!!!

if the soil is still wet in a day or two i would wait on watering as you would deprive the roots of oxygen more. when you do water i dont see where it would hurt to use the flower ferts without mixing with the veg ferts. then again i am no expert.

next time instead of flushing just use straight water for a couple days. when i feed my plants i give them heavy nutes one day then just water for 2 more days

You can just switch to the flowering fertilizer if you want to kiddcorruption, you didnt do anything wrong flushing, just didnt have to is all.

lookin good, the reason they sag is because you have lights on the bottom right? The leaves are trying to curl to catch light

well im not exactly sure, my plants are getting light from almost every angle imaginable i had to take some plants out and hang the lights on the clothing rack so i could take the pic without the light glare but my advice is when your plant is flowering you dont need to worry about the leaves unless a lot are yellowing fast. then your probably using the wrong nutes. the leaves will naturally fall off the further they are in flowering this was them earlier
the only difference is that now is that i have 3 cfls dangling from each outlet socket. i lost 2 females due to heat issues and learning how to ventilate my room correctly in the beginning of flowering. i got 4 now all over 4 feet

they are drooping becaus you just flushed them not necessarily the lights. side growth is great tho. you should put those lights at the side of the plants so the tops of the leaves can catch the light. looking great for your fitst grow. oh yea with all those huge shade leaves light wont penetrate that far so more light is way better.
