Overwatered I think? Happened after a Flush with sledgehammer again. Plant number 12! I’m new and frustrated…

I emptied 1/4 of my 5 gallon bucket to try to dry out the roots somewhat… My other issues before were soaking them too much and they all got root rot.

Definitely flush with ph 5.0 to 6.5 water only. Make good runoff and let it dry it should dry in 2 to 3 days if your soils drains correctly.
If it's not drying. It's the soil more than Likely. I use at a 30% perlite at a minimum, 40% spagham peat moss and the rest is mushroom compost or your choice.
I can almost garentee a fair to great grow this way as the soil drains fast enough to water/flush and feed more often whithout over doing it. Corrections are quick this way. Also at least 5 gallon grow bags to help the roots etc.
Hope I'm helping. This problem can be fixed in 2 or 3 days.

What issues were you having that necessitated flushing in the first month of flower ? Were you worried about those yellowing/necrotic leaves below and burnt tips? Did you by chance overfeed and cause a lockout?

Overwatered would mean the leaves still have turgor. A lot of the leaves look limp and lifeless. Good chance I'm wrong though.

Both over and under watering causes the limping.
When over watered, the limp leaves are soft and can easily fall off.
When under watered, the limp leaves are crispier than usual, and you can usually hear the dryness. and the moist looking sag is more severe when under watered. Perks right back up in 10-15 mins once watered again.

You told a guy whose substrate you don't know to flush. Before proffering a solution it helps to know what caused the problem. Welcome to RIU.

It's simple logic the better your soil drains the quicker you can fix a multitude of issue's.
It tried and true. No maybe about it.
