My leaves are turning yellow with brown spots in flower

another thing worth mentioning is that after a leaching it's not uncommon to need an application of a soluble form of nitrogen, mainly because nitrogen is easily washed away in a soil, and that's exactly what your goal is, to wash away nutrients.
so it's likely you'll need a il boost of it in a week or so, but don't add ANYTHING until you see improvement, which is to be expected in a couple days or so, and it'll be the new growth that will be an obvious different shade than the rest of the plant
once that growth is seen, and once it's observed as a lighter shade of green, then you can add a LITTLE nitrogen..
juuuuust a lil though man

I just watered them yesterday should I go do the flush today? And how much water?

How much water do you think I should use per pot? And thank you very much for the information your sharing.
you are very welcome man, that's why i am here.
on a 5 gallon container i'd give it a good hmm, probably one gallon of water, three times over the day.
ideally it'd be more than that, but leaching large containers can be tricky..
whatever you do water slowly, and only di it if the soil is absorbing it, if the water is running off the top and then down the sides the soil is too dry or has too much soil surface tension (peat heavy mixes are known for this issue, also dense worm castings as well)
if done slowly you'll minimize the risk of the soil mix compacting/restricting as it's watered
with that size of plant it'd probably be ok to run more water than that even, but it's hard to say for sure from just the pics
that looks to be a sativa dom hybrid no?
I've seen sativas be a lil sensitive to higher amounts of phosphorus and potassium
they do tend to like a bit more nitrogen than indicas though, especially outside..
but at LEAST a gallon for each plant, and at least three times over the course of the day.
if anything more waterings of smaller amounts will be more effective than the opposite.
You follow me?
and do NOT let them sit in water at all, well, sure, for like 5 minutes or so to ensure the bottom parts are soaking the water too, but not for any amount of time past that
if you only have drainage holes in the bottom then you want the plant to be UP off the bottom.
you want at least a good couple inches of ground clearance for that.

no, i'd wait until it dries, if not it may create issues with the soil being too damp for too long, after leaching it's normal for the plant to go a bit longer before needing water again.
But you want somewhat of a drier media condition when doing this.
that's why it's important to allow it to drain at an angle, after you want it to NOT be dripping at all anymore at the end of the day.
another thing worth mentioning is that 5 gallon buckets tend to not breathe very well, so i would look into maybe getting a good scalpel, or drill to make more drainage holes on the sides of the container as well.
you'll never, ever, ever have any issues with a plant or container having too much aeration
while conversely a LARGE amount of often misdiagnosed plant maladies are simply not enough aeration in the mix or not ample enough drainage.

Try your bluer spectrums to bounce them back, and a mg+s application to activate the cholorophyll complex, that is, if greases tricks don't work, by Monday, which I agree they should, I concur with his prognosis btw.

The pest and sickness thing too, I would add a chitin source, and do a plain watering in between every feeding so to speak. There is a beneficial nematode that handles over 200 pests and one of the bad nematode that it handles is a root burrowing one that can make the appearance of almost any deficiency ... brown spots is usually calcium though and a 1/3 cup of chamomile flowers added to boiling water, strained, topped with a litre, will supply that and handle those spots if those persist as well, again, though, easy to lock up the calcium complex and trigger a toxicity so try leaching first, best of luck bro, you're in good hands with Grease here anyway.
