IMO it sounds like your nitrogen levels are really high ? How old are the plants ? What is the PH of your water and how long did you flush ?
Do you have pic's that would help !

flush with 3 times as much water as the size of your container is (3 gallon pot, flush with 9 gallons water). Though you might want to make sure your water PH is alright before doing so

well you could get some ph up/down, or if thats not an option. I've heard of lemon juice or vinegar that changes it. Cant remember if they made it go up or down though. Or you could try a new source for your water

try transplanting also, that soil looks real heavy, lighten it up with some perlite, your plants will thank you--
