this is my first grow. I had 6 plants, they all
preflowered and two of them were females.
this was few days ago. now these two females were
in awful condition, becouse I overfertilized them. twice.
first time i flushed them and in a few days they were fine.
second time i flushed them but they are not fine. my soil
became rock solid becouse of bad mix and watering, so i
transplanted them today, but i damaged the roots.
Will they survive root abuse? they are still in veg, and about
35cm tall? I know i have made all mistakes that i could,
but i dont want to give up on them... will they forgive me?
how should i treat them? water? food?

Marijuana is a weed, and will grow as such. I have had plants get starved or over nute or freeze etc, and they have always bounced back. If you ripped alot of roots, then you will know in a few days if they will survive. Best thing you can do is give them good soil and don't over nute them. Maybe avoid nutrients for a couple weeks until there growing again. Odds are, they will stop growing and need a week or so before they start again.

Why did you flush the second time? Especially if they were looking fine as you said. How did you damage the roots? Did you remove some of the dirt or all? What did you transplant them into? Microwido is right. You are going to have some shock and your plants will stall. What are you using for fertilizer? And to answer your last post...you should sing and do a little softshoe for them. It's the least you can do after being so mean to your girls. lol Leave them alone for bit.

I flushed them again becouse i am an idiot and i overfertilized them
again. i use some fertilizer with guano, 7:3:5. I gave them 25% of recomended
dose, i gues they don't like that at all. i transplanted them in a mix of soil, sand
and sth else (I don't know how it is called on english). I didnt remove all dirt
becouse i would remove all root mass then.

p.s. if I start to sing they will die 100%. I am a bad
grower, but I sing much worse

I'm sorry. My humor is childish American. Don't feed them for a bit. Just water. Give them a chance to shake this off. Do you have kelp? And earthworm casings? If so, mix some together and spray the tops and bottoms of the leaves. But don't feed them right now and when you do start with a very low feeding and work up.
