smoking and usage

I plan on flowering my 3 plants soon, but my oldest one is seriously drooped from what believe to be overwatering.

I heard from somewhere that flowering plants use up more water, so I'm thinking flowering would save them. Should I wait or go ahead with flowering?

Don't water them for a week or so, the plants should heal by themselves. Just cut off any necrotic leaves, ensure humidity is not too high so mould doesn't set in and let nature do it's thing.

However, your growing medium could be retaining too much moisture and could be suffocating your plant. Most of the water should drain through a good medium leaving the medium only damp, what are you using as your medium? Soil should never appear saturated, if it is then I would advise you to transplant into a better soil/perlite mix.

Don't flower until you see alternating nodes, which is when your plant is mature enough to flower. Otherwise you may find your yeild is low and weaker than when flowered at maturity.

They are about a month and a few days old. I've been using this stuff ( http://www.licompost.com/heproducts/p_potting_mix.html ) throughout the whole grow and never had any problems. I should have added like 10% perlite, next grow will definitely have that. I guess I'll let this one plant heal while flowering.

I always though soil-less mixes were able to handle alot more water than regular soil. I guess you can say I was owned by my own ignorance.

I mean my plants were owned or... drowned.

I overwatered one of my plants a while back, whole bucket was saturated.
I let the sun shine directly onto the soil of my pot and within 2 days the excess water had evaporated
