Hey guys, first time grow here. 3 plants bag seed in soil in a grow tent in a closet under a 600w HPS. Plants maintain around 7 PH, I over watered and over nutrient fed them last week and have been giving them straight water since. Now plants leaves are yellowing and dying. The stems on the fan leaves are turning purple. I'm gonna do a flush tonight but any other suggestions? Can someone tell me how they look for week 5 of 12/12? Any help is appreciated, thanks

Check the ph and more important the ec of the run of,the plants will most likely be wanting some feed,once you make a mistake like over feeding just add water and check the run off.
Never do anything too hasty it could cause you more problems than anything else,purple stems is a key sign of the plants wanting some feed.Check the ec and pm me dude

Also take some snaps when the lights are of it will give us a far better look at the coulour of the leafs ext,and no it will not harm the plants.But to be honest i see no real problems but hard to tell with the photos ya put up,if the leafs are a nice green then all is good in the hood
What do you mean ec ? And "1.5/1.6l mean? And here are extra pics

ec, a blue lab trunchen or a ppm ec cf pen eletctic conductivity,its the disolved salts in the feed,you need to be on about 1.5 ec they screaming out for feed dude i would say ya been flushing for too long,a ec pen is a key factor in getting good results i no longer ph no use get one i send ya a feed sced for any feed i have used the lot in my time and still stick to the same feed scedule

makes things so much easy ya know what you are feeding and can test whats comeing out,yellowing leafs bleaching lack of nutes,also hit them with a nute like pk 13/14 its time dude,and sit back and watch them go boom,pick a cheap ec pen up of e bay.
I would water and allow to dry out i mean dry out water with your normal nute regiment and the pk spike pk 13/14 best i have found or over drive,but only for two waters thats if the plants take 2 waters a week if not just use for a few waters but no more than 3 waters i use it for two days ,but my grows are hydroponic auto pot set up and they are drinking 18 ltr every day that's 3 plants.
In soil all my best results come from water allow to dry then repeat never water every day just end up with root rot or root burn,the plants like that time been totally dry for a few hour,in future put a air ring in the bottom of the pots then have a fish tank pump pumping air to the roots via the air ring.works a treat
hope this helps tyke

How do you think they look now? What do you think I should do with each plant individually?
