So I watered with some neem oil, and I must have forgot to adjust the PH after. Plants got extremely damaged. So I flushed a little, but they still seem a little damaged. I don't think I flushed enough, but now starting to look over watered...I just repoted a couple days before this so there is a lot of soil for not to big of a plant so it is staying wet for a while.. what to do?

Yeah I'm not too into all of this flushing-advice, it is necessary at times, but often induces problems such as yours with root-rot as a consequence. Do whatever you can to dry them up ASAP, root-rot is chronic, systemic, and some nasty shit really...

And your containers seems big for that size of plants... Look into potting up in stages, it builds better root-systems and decreases the risks of what you're experiencing now... I see you use perlite, I've found around 30% of it to be a good ratio.

I did the same thing with neem oil...you sprayed it on right?...Mine burnt too...I didn't wash off with clean water afterwards...i also mixed in a little fertz....they'll live, but i'll need to rinse off the plants as well as flush.
