It looks like flushing was the wrong thing to do. Was the soil very dry before flushing at least?

Don't do anything until the soil drys out

We need some picks and turn the caps off :roll:

If your temps are right then im guessing you are just over watering... Try to allow your plants some breathing time between watering/water less each time. The pics you have up shows pretty some wet soil. The roots do function as the bringer of water and nutrients to the plant, but it also serves so feed the plant a lot of its oxygen as well so allowing your soil to dry out somewhat is not a bad thing.

Try just changing the amount you water each plant.. same thing for Phenom420 with the mold problem... Usually if you allow your soil or at least the top inch or so to dry out mold problems are subsided.

Hey Bud and welcome to RIU, thanks for the advice, sorry it would never help my mold problem, the only plant I have with it is in DWC and I've moved it to the ER and ordered some zero tolerance for it and as a preventive in the future.bongsmilie

looks like your soil may be depleted to me, if the flush made it worse the you probably flushed the remaining nutes.... how long has it been in that soil? do you have good drainage, ie perlite, or sand mixed in?
i would repot with some good soil with earthworm castings and some guano in it. mine did this in the begining also and a repot was the fix. those pots look small too, root bound?
mattihis may be correct as well with the overwater... i'd still repot with good soil and drainage. my soil wont allow me to overwater unless i let it sit in a tub all day , i have to water every 3 days because it drains so well. i use alot of sand (which helps with temperature stress - silica) and perlite, with good soil.
hope this helps.... let me know. i'll keep thinkin, in case its something else.
sorry to hear about your other 2, i just lost my only 2 clones....left dome off all day.. after medicating. stupid me. oh well.... ouch i'm out of seeds too.

is that a clear container? can you see the roots through it? maybe light on your roots? how hot is your soil getting, over 110 degrees and they are cooking? are you using nutes? good water?
couple thoughts.....

the roots are visible in the bottom of the pot and a few down the side's, its a clear pot, the soil isn't getting to hot but maybe its time to re-pot??? im using tap water with ph down and no nute's as yet as i thought it may do more harm than good!

I dont think you have depleted soil, this would only cause ur plants to grow slow and yellow, not go crispy.
This 'awesome' soil u got from ur mate sounds to me like it is too strong 4 ur young plant. Looks like massively over fert, even though u dont use any, it is present in the soil, and flushing will unlock more nutes for ur plant to use..
Add a false medium such as clay balls or perlite. Make it a 50/50 mix when u re-pot so it is not as strong and u have better drainage and oxygen flow- leading to increased growth n less risk of mold.
Hope this helps - XxNinjaxX :joint:

Sand is ok, it is PH Neutral and offers no nutrients, whilst still having good aeration and drainage, will also fight off mold - so a good move by u - congrats!
Hold off adding any nutrients until ur plants look like they NEED them otherwise this problem will persist.
What is the PH of the water u are feeding them?

Hey man
Well I use sand to control Gnats, 1 inch layer on top of the soil

It gets into the soil from flushing and watering and it doesn't have any neg effects on mine.
Make sure it's not limestoned sand, that can be a real problem.
