In future start using an ec pen or ppm pen to test the strength of ur feed try not to go above 800 ppm which normally means halfing the recommended dosage on the bottle of feed, I'd follow wot the guys are saiyin here by feeding them just water for a few days, be careful with the aptum regulator (silicone) its strong 15ml per 100 litter maybe hard to gauge in smaller quantity's, your base nutrients are always the most important feed even in flower maybe youv gone to heavy on the bloom feed, I heard somebody say
Less is more!!!

I don't get the water for 3 minute thing every 3 days. You would want to water to runoff and let the pots dry out and get feather light. If you're not getting run off you can get mineral saIt build up.
Add nutes either every other watering cycle or every 3rd watering cycle depending on how they look.
Don't overwater, pot should be dry and light. Use LESS nutes.
You have a combination of shit happening...
And remember to target 78 as day temp., not 70 like you said you have in that other thread. Modify your game plan in the future, avoid nutes for a while on those burnt ones, straight water to excess runoff for a while. Good Luck, they're survivable.

i have a 50 gallon reservoir that i fill with water, i have a sub pump i place in the reservoir that pumps out my water, its easier to mix my nutrience in one big bucket of water opposed to doing it multiple times in smaller 10 gallon buckets, i time each plant i water for 3 minutes...

Sometimes you need straight water only!
If you insist on fertilizer EVERY time you water, you would have to use VERY small amounts, watch the plants, and possibly/probably alter the mix multiple times through the grow. I can't see having 45 gal. of nute water mixed in advance myself...you should only need 2 or 3 gal. to water a 10 gal. pot to some runoff.

i only use fertilizer once a week for the last couple weeks but it seems that i over did it following the feeding sheet that comes with my nutes. i will stick with WATER the duration of flowering im heading into week 7.

Since fox farm soil is so loaded with nutes theres not a whole lot of need to give it so many synthetics or even organic nutes in your feed. I would just give it water that has been ph corrected from here on out. The fabric pots allow lots of oxygen to the roots.. so its not as likely that they were over watered, but definitely possible if the temps were getting low. Letting the dirt dry out once in a while is actually really good for the roots in my opinion.
