ok plant guru's......what did I do wrong?.. first grow

long time smoker, first time grower...real quick legal medical.... 3 seed bank seeds...fox farm ocean forest, fox farm trio nutes..as per directions, when soil is dry 1 inch down,all nute watering's, no straight water ever, 600w led.(king), room is in barn so 95 plus all summer,... all good till 5 to 6 weeks into flower...died in a little over a week?????... tried flushing for a couple days... thought nute burn...flushing didn't do anything but drown them I think....not sure I'll try again...

Phosphorus deficiency.

Hmm I’m not so sure.

I see clawing leaves and what looks like nute burn.

OP Followed directions on the bottle of nutes he was using which is notoriously too much nutrients.

Possibly nute burn and heat stress

How were you feeding?

At what kind of frequency were you feeding/watering?

What were your environmental conditions like?
Temps
RH
lighting
Extraction system
As much info as you can give.

well thats sorta what I was thinking... my room is in my barn.. no way to keep it cool... has been 95 plus all summer, fans and fresh going through... growing like crazy during veg... migh have also gave them a shot on veg food right before that all happened will that straight up kill them??

Using veg food instead of flowering food is not gonna kill them but during hot temperatures the plants require less feed.

You should have been feeding once and then watering with plain water twice.

Allowing pots to lighten up by around 50% before watering/feeding again.

when the first inch is (was) dry, and what the bottles said, and 600w led

And what did the bottle say?

Like I mentioned you should have only been adding nutrients once in 3 waterings.

With soil you shouldn’t feed every watering.

You should alternate you nutrient usage.

Feed water water.
Feed water water.

Especially in times of high heat you should use less nutrients as the plants uptake more water than nutrients during excessive heat.

It happens buddy. We’ve all been there.

Easier to fix a plant that hasn’t been getting enough nutrients than it is to fix one that’s been getting too much.

I'm seeing that.. just like drugs.. right you can always take more... kinda hard to take it back ha ha

Once photo shows wet media and Nitrogen burn, dark green leaves with tips curling. I'm not experienced enough to say that killed them fast. I think about severe insect or root issue when plants die fast.

FF trio at full strength is way too much in my limited experience with soil (4 grows with FF trio). I used about half of what the FF feed chart says and nutes every 2nd or 3rd watering. Still got a little tip burn in late veg and flower.

I feed every watering but you require runoff, at least 20%. Are you monitoring the pH? Do you have a PPM meter? Are you using tap water?

Toxicity.
Of our city, of our city.

too hot.

I have a friend that INSISTS you add 8-10 different nutes outside watering every day. Won’t say the brand, said he was on phone with them for an hour and a half and they said “yeah! Keep doing it,” at x dollars a month... I’m just not impressed. Anyone else think outside massive nutes every single day is over the top? Dying to see responses.

If you mean growing outdoors in the ground, yes I agree. My first outdoors grow this year, she hasn't needed any nutes so far.
As to the OP, I've never gone over 1/2 strength on any nutes, growing in soil. And everything I've heard about FF soils says they're way too hot.
