I'm pretty sure these girls are locked out, heat was at 89 for a whole week. I had deficiencies and have probably over done it. In 2 week i did 2 teas and a top dress. Day 40 now. I did that probably around week 3. Tea, then top dress week 4 and a tea again. Should i flush everything? Guess it would help if i did a ppm test on run off]

Flushing organic isn't a very good option, nor is testing the runoff. My last organic mix would come out at like 3000ppm but didn't burn the plants so it's always a gamble trying to quantify

What type of medium? If organic it should buffer ph itself. I've been watering with 7.8-8ph tap water so far with no issues in a garden soil. You can add elemental sulphur to lower the pH though if you are too high, or calcitic lime to raise the pH.

Oceanforest I'm only in 2 and 3 gal fabric pots. Could be root bound maybe..? Topped dressed 1 week before flower too. Started to give molasses and water this week. I planned to just water molasses, cal mag, and recharge once a week.

First thing I'd do is remove all dead and dying leaves, they are going to lead to mould.

You aren't stating what you are top dressing with. To my eye they are deficient across the board. I don't see the point in giving them molasses and calmag.

Dr. Earth flower girl, 1 table spoon a gallon. As much as i wanted to do more. I was seeing tip burn on growth after every tea.

Truly, why? The recharge already has molasses in it. And a re-innoculation wouldn't hurt.

Lol...I purchased pinegro "premium hydroponic grade" Coco...apparently washed.

Ran the pot off after transplant and it read close to 7000ppm. Had to run around 8 gallons of water through the pot to get it down to 1000ppm.

no wonder that people have often difficulties with coco

I figured I'll try an boost the microbes to break down more and not have to use recharge back to back watering? But any suggest full recommendations?

Thats nutes overload. Flush, perhaps a few times, then use a bloom booster like moab or whatever you have, at a rate less than they recommend. It looks like you're far enough along in flowering that you'll be fine, but yes, trim the yellow leaves and give it some pure 6.5ish water for a week or so.
