Looking good so far for near the end of week 5, but those leaves still look very green, you want to start dropping down your N content fairly soon.
I see you've also got some burn on the ends of the leaves - told you your nutrient doses were too high - keep them to 0.8 - 1.0 EC or slightly more depending on how hungry they look.
Fertilising plants isn't painting by numbers - any guidance you see on product labels telling you what levels to feed at need to be considered in your own situation and use them as a guide only - you decide how much they need or don't need depending on how they look to you.
Good luck with the rest of your grow.

Still haven't put any veg nutes in it in about 4 weeks. Strictly Tiger bloom, big bloom, and just started using the cha-ching. I think that's what caused the burn on the leaves is that cha-ching stuff. The numbers on that stuff are ridiculous....9-50 something....I'll probably use 1/4 strength of that stuff next time. I did change the PPM back down to around 1300...it was at 1500 like the bottle said.

Well, stop with the tiger Bloom for a little while and continue with the other bloom and Cha Ching, but reduce down the amounts of that - it's potent stuff and if you get any P residuals left in the bud it won't burn well.

Well using both will give you 11-58-14, you want to reduce N, not increase it. You can either stop with the Cha Ching and give it a reduced dose of Tiger Bloom or use both but with Cha Ching greatly reduced to like 10-29% recommended dose - that Cha Ching is way too potent in Phosphorous in my opinion. Whichever way you go, don't feed it at any higher than 1.0 EC.
For the best results, this is a crucial stage for you - don't fuck it up by over-feeding the plants which could set them back weeks in their flowering time. You can always add more feeds or increase the dose, but you can't take back if you over-do it.
If it were me, I'd probably just be feeding them a 1/4-1/2 dose of Tiger Bloom.
My plants are now about 3 weeks in flowering - the most any of my plants have had is 0.5mil Biobizz Grow + 0.5 Mil Biobizz Bloom + 0.5 Mil Biobizz Topmax and they've only had two feeds at that level. Biobizzs recommended doses for those for week 3 in flowering is 1mil Grow, 2 mil bloom and 1 mil Topmax. So I'm feeding them every other watering or two with 1/2 recommended dose and 1/4 recommended dose of bloom. I noticed a tiny amount of burn (no more than a millimetre of leaf tip) on one of the plants leaf tips and that tells me my feeding levels are about right for most of them and a little too strong for one of them
You have to find the right levels to feed your plants in the same way.

My next changeout is in 7 days. I'll probably go strictly tiger bloom then. As it stands I took the PPM down to 850 and PH is at 6.2. I just took a couple gallon jugs of that stuff out and filled it back in with fresh water. I dilluted that solution that was in there and water some plants around the house and a few clones with it. Thanks Babygro!

imo, the nl5xhaze wins hands down over the nlxbb. nlxbb to me is commercial grade, while the nl5xhaze (that i had) was world class narcotic
