I have a question regarding nitrogen toxicity. At what point does it become unsavable?

Hi! I'm a new grower currently drifting through my first grow with little knowledge, but I was doing well. I had read what I needed to and met with some (old-head) growers to learn as much as I could. A heat stressed plant that had died down to being 30% of what it used to be was given to me, excited I learned and recovered it. The plant was going extremely well till I introduced a "cock-tail" of nutrients a fellow grower had given to me. It's not a very thick liquid, green and watery, and I have no idea what the contents of it are. I believe where I went wrong was the dosage that I applied but it's been a day since it happened and the plant is visibly taking it pretty badly. My question doesn't regard the nutrients I applied because I had a system that was working fine before I attempted to introduce the new cocktail and if my plant recovers I will return to it, but I'm mostly just worried about the status of my plant. Im 2 days in to the plant looking like this, I've flushed it with pH checked water and applied a small amount of 1/3 strength buddha grow formula. Is it too late? what can I do to help?

The pictures here are what it looked like 2 days ago and what it looks like today.

Flush again with 3x times the amount of soil. Ex: 5 gallon pot= 15 gallons of water and in the last one add 1/2 strength nutes of a complete npk solution and micros. Then let her dry up and continue schedule. GL

not really seeing any nitrogen tox,,, dont see the classic hooked leaf ends,, what id do see is your burn from the heat stress and an over watered plant,,, as Tupapa suggested since the soil is already damp, , a flush woudl not hurt,, i am usually not a fan of flushing, but if you feel your soil is over nuted,, why not at this point,, but your plant is in serious need of drying out, last time i had nitrogen tox a couple of years ago, i just went straight to water only for a few weeks,, and she cleared up

also,, there isnt much soil in your bucket,, next time fill it all the way up,, and leave about 1 inch from the rim,, after your plant heals up some,, if there is room put some fresh soil on the upper layer,, go ahead and cover some of the stem, youw ill get fresh nutes from the soil, and more room for roots

Should I let the soil dry out before the final flush then?

well your not in flower,, your still in veg,, if you are flowering bud have not appeared yet,, so this plant will need more water at some point, but wait till those leaves are standing back up and happy,,, wait till you can poke your finger deep and it feels dry before giving more water,, once she is perky again,, post some more pictures,, givning nutes to soil is not something that should be done every watering,, but maybe once a week,, when needed,, a the most every other watering, but that would depend on your medium being used

I had my hopes after seeing what she could take with the heat stress she recovered from. thank you so much! I'm going to make sure this beauty comes back to life : )

ya,, she will bounce back,,, i have seen far worse,,, and i would not even say yours is that sick,, you may need to trim off some of that heat burn later,, but wait and see what that section does also

Are dark black spots associated with over watering? In person the problems seem more similar to nitro toxicity but I honestly have no clue. If I'm over-watering then is a flush a bad idea?

Your leaves will be dark green and your leaves will have a major hook. Don't flush it will only increase your problems a hundred fold.
