So I just picked up some maxsea, for those who don't know what that is, it's a seaweed based water soluble nutrient mix. It was recommended to me from someone on another thread to use as a base nute to go along with my big bud additive to increase my yield. But earlier today, I accidentally broke what seems to be one of the golden rules when it comes to watering your plants, I added the nutrients to dry soil. Since it was my first time adding nutes, I was unaware of this. I went and watered my plants with plain water right after learning this. Are my plants going to die because of this mistake, or get nute burn, I also heard somewhere that this could cause bud mold.
 
did you read the instructions on the bottle.......? they should be ok as long as you didn't add the whole bottle or something?

I added 1 tablespoon to 1 gallon of water. It did say not to give it to plants with dry soil, but it was in SUPER small print at the very bottom of the bottle
 
RELAX! If your only mistake was adding nuted water to dry soil you are going to be just fine. Don't flush. Don't panic. Don't worry. You're fine. It's not the best way to wake up your rootss BUT it didn't hurt anything unless you used too much nutrient.
Some people on here will misguide you. Alway ask yourself "WHY THE FUCK AM I DOING THIS?" before you do ANYTHING. Ask yourself TWICE. Unless you have a clear reason WHY you are doing something you probably shouldnt waste time fucking your plants up. I am not an expert BUT I see MANY dumb ass tips on this forum.

Think about your mistake....
You added water with nutrients to dry soil potted plants. Whats gonna happen? What problems will you see? Is it worth making the problem worse by trying to fix the mistake OR just let ONE mistake work itself out before compounding fuck-ups???
Yer plants are gonna LOVE those nutes. It would have been more gentle and loving of you to add some clean ph balanced water BEFORE you fed them rocket fuel but they didnt take it personally. Imaging if I woke you up and you were starving but the only thing I offered to feed you was a steak and baked potato. Its gonna be a rough start on your guts but youll be ok. Your plants feel the same way.

The next time you water only use clean, Ph balanced water.The next time you FEED you crop wake your plants up with a little splash of clean water and come back about 30 minutes later to FEED them. I have a patient who waters her crop with nutrients when the dirt is dry. She isnt physically able to move around so she is limited on the work she can do daily. She waters her weeky feed into dry pots EVERY SINGLE WEEK just like you did and she grows DANK weed for the little effort she puts into it.

I seem to be baked and rambling BUT i do have a valid point somewhere... You're plants are cool. Don't make shit worse. Flushing a ton of water thru is more likely to cause problems than the nutes will. All that water will raise humididty and deprive roots of oxygen. Also, dont believe EVERYTHING you read here. Its your crop and YOU know best.
Dont panic. Think shit through. Love your plants.
 
Watch your plants, they show you what they want.
Literally, watch your leaf/stem/color.

So if they look 'happy/green' then you are fine.
 
Irie is right.

It's just 'best practice' 90% of the time you'll be just fine but if the plant was on the verge of death from under watering and you did that then it might be the final straw.

Yikes. First of all, read the directions first before you ever do anything in your grow room?

Flush the heck out of the soil and hopefully nothing has gone too badly...

Roll a fattie and calm down. Then read more before you do more. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
