Overfeeding and flushing

Ok, my 4 girls are in week 2 of flower and I got some fox farm tiger bloom and big bloom . I overdosed them with the tiger by using tablespoons instead of teaspoons. I realized it 3-3/12 hours later and flushed them with 4-5 gallons each water. Only bottom and a few mid level leaves clawed and got very green. Do I wait till clawing clears or resume PROPER feeding in 3-4 days. They are in 3 gallon pots with soil.

when pots are dry water with 3/4 of a gallon of water. repeat when dry again only. Use water only until plant recovers, leaves prolly wont look normal but when you see new healthy growth continue proper feeding. thats what I'd do

What do you think about adding the big bloom, it's pretty much the trace elements only. less than 1% each of npk

Big bloom is the only organic of the fox farms big three....Big Bloom won't hurt your plants even if it's used at the heavy feeding recomendation on the bottle....I use fox farms products ....big bloom is one of my favorite products they carry ....

They appear to be just fine. I believe the flushing worked as I did it so soon after. I watered this morning with half dose of tiger and full dose of bloom.

you overfed 2days ago and it caused symptoms in the plant
you poured water through the dirt a few hours later
then fertilized again today...did the flushed dirt even dry out first?

Yes it's a good soil mix with perlite, in fabric pots. I've always had to water them often. Nice and airy soil

Oh and actually I overfed them on Friday morning so 4 days and they felt light. My meter also read just barely out of the dry range. I think I've done it right, let's hope so. They look great no burnt tips and the deep green has toned back.
