Recovery after flushing

I have some plants in bad shape. Went to my local grow store and showed them pics…they advised to flush. Did 9 gallons per plant with their feed regime introduced in the last 2 gallons. How long after a flush should I start to see any improvement? Attached are pics of 2 of the 3 plants. The plant not pictured has BRIGHT YELLOW leaves throughout but there is still bud development happening.

Those plants are toast.
That’s what I think…they told me there is hope. You’re telling me there is none.
Also, I’m new and learning-I admit they look like shit and I’m not having much success with this growing but I’m trying. I appreciate your ever so enlightening comment. It’s nice to know that the experienced growers Like to belittle those looking for help.

It wasn't intended to belittle you honey...........it was my observation, and there's no way to sugar coat the fact that they look like shit.
Loosen up.
 
What was their reason for recommending a flush?
To get rid of all the nutrients build up and start fresh-I added nutrients to the last 2 gallons. I was gonna just throw them but they said the leaves will never fully recover but the buds are still growing so it’s not a total waste. I’m just trying to determine IF and WHEN I’ll see recovery. I should have asked and didn’t think to. I thought this forum would be of assistance.

Yeah I find most of you that do the belittling don’t “intend” to. Yes-they look like shit. I acknowledge that. Before I totally throw them I sought professional assistance-that’s what they suggested. ‍♀
Just because it’s not what you want to hear doesn’t mean it’s personal
The hydro shop guy wants to have your business so he may be inclined to sugar coat it
Here not so much
Recovery isn’t in your future
Call it a learning experience and move on

Also no one has really addressed my actual question of typically how long you see signs of recovery after flushing. Like in general or is it not that black and white? Is it dependent on the issue? If anyone can shed light in that?
The light has already been shed my friend........read your responses.

Never listen to the guys at the grow store. Most are completely clueless yet act like they're experts. I don't know what those plants looked like before you dumped 9 gallons of water through them but they're looking pretty ragged right now. Unless you incorrectly measured your nutrients and massively overfed there was no reason to flush. It likely caused more harm than good.

yes that light has. Immediately threw then out, but in the case of the yellow leaves I would like to give her some recovery time. She’s not all crunchy and stunted. Now I know that I should allow 2-3 days before I toss her too. Thanks!
