HELP! Insecticide burn

So far I haven't had any problems with pests and I've been doing indoor grows for a little over a year. Although, it's been hydro up until a few months ago so maybe that's why. Soil now though and so far no issues.
 
bettybird what are you using for your soil? Is it light and airy? You might consider mixing in some perlite but you may already have a very dense root structure you won’t want to disturb. Just looking closely at you pictures. In fact, the first two looked so normal I was a bit surprised, but then it hit #3...wow
 
Thanks Farmall.
Yes the soil is pretty light and airy. I will look at the perlite option, going to the garden shop this weekend.
Honestly the pics were better than I expected. Initially it was like a horror show- couldn’t bare to look at them. Poor things 😂
The problem is really how to keep the pests away.. as it is absolutely horrendous here at the moment.
Looking at planting some mint in an attempt to get the bugs to munch on them as an alternative... to be fair they are probably looking at the plants in there current state and thinking... move on quickly lol.
 
Maybe consider some marigolds. I did it with vegetable garden to keep bugs away

Hello bettybird (off subject) how's the fires we sent some fellas from Oregon to help fight the fires. Sad news from NZ.
 
Hey SoOrbudgal
Yeah it’s pretty devastating here right now. Absolutely fantastic that people are coming to help. The fires aren’t too far from me and it is a very anxious time, especially since we are in a drought (seriously have less than 2 years of drinking water left)....
We are heading into extreme weather in the next couple of days... going to get to almost 50 degrees (not sure what that is in your temp- all I know is it’s frigging HOT)
Really appreciate the thoughts though, and thankful for the help hands.
 
My personal go to for over feed/spray/bugs whatever, is generally to spray off all the leaves with water. Flush the pots with clear water. Give them time to dry out a bit, then give them a nice worm casting and molasses drink, allow them to take that up then resume feeding schedule. Anytime you have issues, I would rather it be past the first 28 days, like you are. I think all will recover, one may be a little off. I absolutely love the people here. No one has been condescending or mean in any way. Tons of great advice! Watch for bananas forming in the plant with the most damage, you may have a few to pluck, enjoy your grow
 
Awesome advice Woodsman.
They are recovering better than I expected. Seems like they are as forgiving and non judgemental as everyone here.
I totally appreciate each and every response - that people kindly take the time to read AND reply is really nice.
So thanks :)
