that is usually asign of nut burn i would flush it with a 6.5 ph straight water atleast 5 r 6 times the amount of soil then let it get to a dry cycle before doing anything with nuts or super thrive

I would definitely flush with regular PHd water as ryanp1 suggested ASAP. I generally go three times the soil volume for amount of water flushed through (IOW if 5 gal. grow pot, flush with 15 gal. of water). IMO, I would water with regular water at least once after she dries out from the flush, THEN start back on the nutes at a lesser strength. Increase nute mixture potency slowly after that so you can see what she will take without getting pissed off as she is now.

YIKES!:shock:
What happened - not enough drainage holes in the pot? You have to flush s-l-o-w-l-y giving the water time to run through the pot before you keep going!!

IMO I wouldn't be using moisture control soil either...you want your soil to be more...umm...fluffy...not so dense, and not made to hold water in. Is it too late to add perlite? You want your roots to be able to breathe somewhat in between waterings, otherwise they will rot.

That is a young plant. You should have listened to what everyone said about straight water. In early stages weed plants (depending on strain) should receive anywhere from 1/4-1/2 strength nuts than that of a mature plant. Go down to wallmart and get some distilled water and SLOWLY water your plants. When the soil is completely dry, water again with JUST water. In this stage the plant needs a lot of nitrogen, and judging by the shade of green of your leaves, you have no sign of nitrogen deficiency, so missing two feedings will not hurt. However, if leaves turn lime green, then feed your girl, she needs nitrogen. Research your nuts better, most feeding plans call for fresh water every other watering.

No water coming out = no drainage holes (or clogged holes, or not enough holes....etc.). If water is not draining properly, it will pool at the bottom and rot your roots.

So it's not in MG moisture control soil now? Sorry, I thought that's what you said you put it into - 9" pot with MG moisture control? Sand will help, but perlite m/b the better option.

Since the issue was nute burn, I wouldn't be putting any additives in there at all until she's dried from the flush, THEN plain water, then nutes at a reduced strength.
