This little blue widow plant started to curl up and looks unhealthy so i thought it was nutrient burn so i flushed the soil several times, is the plant still sick because its over watered or does the soil still contain too many nutrients? Please help, the plant has been like this and not grown for almost 3 weeks now, getting really annoyed!

Looks like your pH is off, bud. Since you already tried flushing your plants just let them dry out before watering them again. Marijuana doesn't like to be wet all the time and it will do better if the soil isn't soaking wet. Maybe you can test the pH of the run off water to see if there are any amendments you need to make to your soil. Keep an eye on them and post back. Your plants aren't done for yet!

Check this thread out: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/150004-plant-moisture-stress-symptoms-solutions.html#post1904985
This is the 1st paragraph and describes what your plant looks like:
1. Over-fertilizing - the most common cause of leaf cupping aka leaf margin rolling, leaf margin burn, and leaf tip curl/burn is the overzealous use of too much plant food in relationship to factors such as plant size, vigor and rate of growth. The first unit of a plant to show moisture stress is the leaf at its margins and/or tips, reflected by margin rolling (cupping) or burning. Sometimes copper colored necrotic spots show in the leaf also. A hard, crispy feel to the leaf frequently occurs as well, as opposed to a soft and cool feel of a happy leaf. When you have a high concentration of salts in solution (or in the root medium) compared to lower salinity levels found in the plant’s tissue, water is actually drawn out of the plant across the root gradient in order to fix the ppm imbalance. IOW, this is a natural, osmotic response that serves to equalize salinity levels on both sides of the root’s epidermal gradient. Back off on the amount and/or frequency of plant food. Too much plant food can also burn the roots, especially the sensitive root tips and hairs, which then creates another set of problems such as nutrient deficiencies. A note for the bio folks - as soil dries, the concentration of the remaining salts rises further exacerbating the problem. Leach (flush) your pots once in a while to get rid of excess salts.


The thread is a good read for symptoms and solutions.
