Default Help?!

I came back from holiday(2 weeks) and was kinda excited to water my plants...As with all preparations distilled water etc...One week after I watered again my plants with a winter feed...I only water once a week but then to my clumsiness/forgetfulness instead of a weaker solution I went full on...Now nearly all my plants were toxified by the full strength solution and most of them have leaves fallen off...I cringe everytime i see them in the grow tent...Is there a quick fix to this please...Any ideas???

I would water them thoroughly to rinse the roots and medium of any fert. Sorry to hear that. We all make mistakes. I left my Asctm miniatum in a bucket of water for 3 days, YIKES! It survived without much damage, but what a scare! Good luck to you!

Maverick, it may be better to do your "cleansing" all in one go, so you can give them a chance to dry. And if any might be rotting, go ahead and repot them, or at least pull them out to check the roots. Wet roots for any extended period isn't good.
