take it to the sink and turn the water on it. not too cold or you could piss of the roots. "leech" then leech then leech some more. if you dont have perferated pots then make holes carefully. fill the pot 2-3 times its capacity with water. do this untill the water that comes out the bottom is clear. if nute is clear then do it 2 times atleast. tip the ppots at an angle and let drain befor repeat. soil gives you some cussion. hydro your SOL. it will take one - two weeks for them to revive depending on how much and how long it was left. mine did fine. never stopped growing just slowed.

Ok, I'm going to jump in here. IMHO, the situation could get much worse very quick depending on his soil type. Nute burn is bad, but overwatering is an almost guaranteed death. If you try to flush with soil which does not drain well you are very likely to kill your plants.

1Fast, what type of soil are you using? Have you added anything to your soil like perlite? If so, how much?

i have about 30% perlite you think i should set my plants outside that should allow the soil to dry out quicker?
