Nute burn is horrible. My older leaves are pretty much toast on most plants. I was concerned about overwatering before but now I just want that burn to stop so I am going to start watering every other day instead of every three days. And by watering I mean flushing the shit out of them. I don't want all my new beautiful growth to look like the burn victims below them. The pictures below make me sad except the one furthest to the right because it is the only plant that looks relatively well taken care of.

That last one is your heavy feeder.

Don't let the burn worry you too much. In no time at all you will have lots of leaves shading those burn victims anyway. Without side/under lighting, they were going to fall off in time. They don't really look too bad compared to some of the fucked up shit I've seen people do to their plants, me included.

I've flushed all of them now to the point that they droop a little bit so I am just going to wait a couple days until they perk back up and continue with the plain water flushes. Thanks for the support, User. I'm really learning a lot so far especially the resilience of the plants despite newb problems like nute burn and veggie-lovin' dogs. I'll keep pics coming on the regular.

Looks like their on the mend, and growing.

You guys aren't going to believe it. My dog(s) managed to get around my barricade and slightly damaged another plant. I suppose the ass beating from the last time was still a little fresh in their memory because they ended up topping one plant and not really hurting it. It is the first pic in the series below and I've named it Topper Harley. Other than that all is well, growth is really fast - looks like I'll have to move my light/plants to the center of the room pretty soon for more space. It is day 15.

I am still wondering when to pick it back up with nutes. Will the plants let me know? They seem happy with plain water still, just some curling of the edges on some leaves - no rust spots on the newest two leaf sets yet, thank goodness.

Nice...your plants look farther along than mine......how much are you feeding / watering right now??

My schedule has been really erratic. I've been flushing with water every two or three days. I only gave nutes three times - but it was way too much each time.

man I went down to one of these water oasis and filled up a 3 gallon jug with 3 tsp of PBP and 3 gallons of reverse osmosis water as well as another container of just water for my soil plant(s).

I am hoping they will start to take off here in a couple of days.....

But yours look really good man.....I would beat the stuffing out of my dog for that one....lol

Yeah, I still don't know which one it is so I would be beating one guilty dog and one innocent dog so it just makes me feel worse about the whole situation. I'm rigging up a cargo net type door that will block dogs but still let air into the room. It's ridiculous that I have to go to such lengths to protect my crops but I can't afford to lose anymore. I'm going to start using my trusty eyedropper introduce my plants to nutes again soon.
