Sterile fine tip trimmers I use, and as close to the stem as possible, but wait until you have a nice stalk between node 5 and 6 need to leave a nice chunk of stem so it doesn’t split from training or weight.

Ok brother, I’ve completed the flush on all 4. 2 I did 2 days ago and 2 yesterday. So I flushed with 6.5 water slowly like you said. I checked run off for the first time in my life. So they all ranged 6.3-6.6. So the weather here hasn’t been real great. Not much sun and low 70’s at best. Plants maybe show a very slight improvement. Here comes the questions - so when they get feather light, if not much improvement, should I flush again or just normal drench? I’m a little nervous about using Jack’s again and I’d guess I wait until they look healthier, if they ever do and maybe try half strength? So I’m going to add a little molasses in cause I see some pinholes like @Budbrother suggested. So when should I do that? Looking back, after all you’ve guys have taught me, I think several things were at play here. Overwatering, possible nitrogen burn, maybe root bound like you said, and I had the damn pots on the ground instead of on a riser. I have them on pallets now.
I guess time will tell but if they still look shitty next week I’ll start over

Nah man, dont let em go.. doesnt take much to correct.. when feather light, (you can mix your water and molasses together) give each plant a few cups and walk away. Come back ten min later and do the same.. walk away. Then come back and water slowly till you get a touch of runoff.. dont worry about ph since youre in range now. Give her a week and watch new growth.
I gave mine a tea last week and i still havent watered..

Watering tomorrow. Question - just do good PH water and molasses or should I mix a light dose of jacks in too since they haven’t had any?
