Absolutely lay off the nutes for at least a week regardless. You need to flush the plants ASAP. If you don't have too many I'd suggest throwing them in the bathtub and turning on the shower head for 15 mins or so. This way you don't have to stand there with a hose or keep carrying water and you don't have to worry about disposing of the run off. After they've had a good flush check the ph and adjust as needed. Give'em only water for at least a week and work them back up to full strength the next week (if you're feeding every other day give 1/4 strength on the 1st feeding, 1/2 strength the second and back to full the third). Hope this helps. Honestly they don't look terrible and should have no problems recovering.

15 min in the shower? do you have any idea how many gallons of water that is?

All you need for a flush is about 2x the amount of water then soil. i.e. 3 gal pot 6 gal of water. If you flush for 15 min in a shower you will not only clean the salt but also any food at all. She may starve especially if you don't feed again for a week. The issue you have is not that bad right now. Give her a decent flush, wait until she is pretty good and dry and start nutes at 1/2 strength.

Yeah i took that last advice with a grain of salt just because they were a new member and said that 15 minute thing. i ended up flushing with a little over a gallon of water a couple days ago. today i will post another picture and show her progress.
