So with those two things in mind, what is wrong with giving it a couple days?
In case mass amounts of water was cause for the start of root damage.
Right, so how can you rightly say it wasn't too much 24 - 8 - 16?
PH problems in my soil. Need help asap.

your problem started as a under feeding problem, then you gave them just more water and then some cal/mag, then you gave them half dose of nutes a couple days ago. keep giving them that dose everytime you water and watch your problem go away.

he gave a depleted soil a half dose of nutes a couple days ago. go look at his plants again.

So probably wise to give it a couple days to see what happens, right?
Then giving the depleted soil some lime will help buffer and stabilize the soil, it'll help with any new ferts too.
I think lime will be a much better soil conditioner than calmag.
I don't disagree they "look" like they need a bit of everything. I'd be giving them a couple days and deciding on a course of action between now and then.
Maybe you'd do it slightly different, big deal lol.
Peace out Teddy.
The 24-8-16 is a ratio of the amount of N, P and K in the product you bought. They are percentages. 24% Nitrogen, 8% Phosphorus and 16% Potassium.
Those numbers don't mean anything relative to the strength of the mixture you pour onto the plants. That measurement is taken in PPM (EC), and it tells you how much (ie. the strength) of the 24-8-6 product (and anything else as well) is in the water.
So, NPK is a ratio that shows the amounts of each nutrient in your product relative to each other. PPM measures the amount of the product as a whole you've diluted in water (in simple terms).

yeah, if my dog is hungry, i make him wait a couple more days before I feed him because that makes sense.So probably wise to give it a couple days to see what happens, right?

Apologies I already realize all this. My point was I think it's best to assess again in a couple days, if the nutrient has had a positive or negative effect before going any further.
I get a bit nervous myself if a deficient looking plant doesn't improve after getting fertilizer. Half a dose you'd expect some positive change, but apparently there wasn't. That's what made me think something else might be going on.

Ecothrive Charge is the only product you'll need when using soil.

Lockouts can occur from overfeeding as well which can cause nutrient antagonism.

Each to the own and if it works for you no need to fix it.
Al the very best pal.
I tink i may have found part of the problem. They appear to be quite rootbound. I may be wrong but i decided to take a look at the roots. It came right out of the pot without loosing hardly any dirt. Its all just a solid root ball. Please let me know if i am way off on this one.

I was literally just about to post this suggestion, but I wanted to read the whole thread first to make sure nobody had mentioned it yet. Whenever my plants get issues that look like nute lockout/deficiency, they invariably end up being rootbound. IME it’s a very important and often overlooked issue. Get those plants into some bigger pots with good soil and they should perk up in a few days.
