Can I save these plants

My plants are dying
They were doing fine and one day they started drying up. I thought I was over watering so I let them go without water but it made it worse. Then I watered them and they looked better but did not recover fully. A week later I flushed them again but they are not picking up. I am afraid if I add nutes it will make it worse. The soil already has organic nutes and some slow release chem nutes.

Are they infected? I don't know what to do but watch them slowly die

Please help!

you should wait til they have atleast 2 full sets of leaves before you start giving them nutes.. use regular water for a while. If anything, get some superthrive and add 2 drops to the water before watering, they should make it.

All hope is not lost... yet.

The thing is they are more than a month old and have about 6 sets of leaves. The bottom ones have already died off so a plucked them. I did sprout them in nute free soil and transplanted to a soil mix (pro-mix + perlite + some organic slow release stuff). They were doing fine but getting a bit overwatered because of too much rain (they were outside). I guess one day I added some more nutes and let them dry out in a cover which started the problem. After a sunny warm day they were all shriveled up dry but the soild was wet.

So I added more water and flushed them the next day to get rid of salt concentration. I flushed again a week later. I don't know what to do at this point. Could it be soil PH? Or lack of some basic mineral? I don't want to screw it up further.
Would transplanting in a new soil help?

I think you are burning them badly. Flushing with time release ferts only causes them to release more. It's not really 'time release' it's controlled by water dissolving them. The time period is based on scheduled waterings or average rainfall (for outdoor soils).

ULM is spot on here. You have fed them to the point of killing them. Dont water any more since you will just be making the problem worse. I would go as far as saying carefuly dig them up and repot them in soil from your back yard!!!!! Time release stuff is great for marigolds or tomoato's but not MJ. I think your problem was putting them in such large containers so young. I find that until a plant is over 8" tall, with plenty of foliage, a 2pint/1l container is plenty big enough, after that, its 1 gal (4l) per ft. JMMO W

they'll be alright, just give them sometime to restore, be patient.

I have been patient for more than 2 weeks. But they keep deteriorating
Here is how they were when it all started -


I am inclined to put them in the ground and let nature take it course!

Wow. that looks sickly. Maybe just a bad plant. It happens to even the best strains. Not everything is going to be a survivor. How tall is it there? Looks waaaay over watered which probably released a ton of stored nutes in the soil and burned it. A transplant is your best hope.

@gree - if you dont want to go ULM's route (which is probably best) water very lightly and make sure the very top soil is completely dry before each watering. If they start improving, keep watering like that for about another week and then you start nuting. start at 1/4 strength and go water water nutes, water water nutes for about a week or 2. If you see it start to turn around bump it up to 1/2 strength in 2 weeks, and then full strength another 2 weeks if improvement continues.

Since you already watered with heavy nutes, its in the soil and as ULM said, it will just continue releasing nutes for a while so they already have more nutes than they need in the soil

theyll be fine jus make sure u mist em w/ water n hit em w/light nutes when they r ready.

they just need more light.... if your growing outside your probably fucked, but they need light now

I dont think its nute burn as there is no burning at the margins. They are under fed and very def in npk and trace elements. Start feeding now and start at 1/4 str up to full str in 3 weeks.
