Houston....We Have A Problem...and pics!

I started flowering my plants which were 6 weeks old about a month ago. I started 5 and got 5 females....lucky me! they were going along just fine. I am using Miracle grow organic soil. I am watering every other day. (I have a meter) in the watering i am using MG bloom enhancer. it is 24-8-16. i only use it every 3rd watering for fear of over fert. I had 2 plants that were kinda runts. I think they only had 3 weeks growth (or close to that) when i put them in flowering. the 2 small ones started looking real sickly but were still putting off bud. so i thought what the hell just let them do their thing. they have leave curl real bad. i was just going to focus on my 3 big girls and try to get a big crop off them. they were strong like bull! here is the problem,now my real big strong girls are starting to get leave curl as well. but just around the bud site and only the little leaves. is it normal for the smaller leaves around the lower bud sites to die off? the plant is covered in bud sites, and as you can see i have a lot of light around them. so any thoughts would be nice. i fucked up one night and left the door open so they only had about 8 hours of darkness. well here are the pics. i will give plus 1 rep if you know what to do or what the problem is.

that fertilizer does not sound like a bloom enhancer, not at 24-8-16, sounds like a general purpose to me, bloom is more likw 10-20-20 , the plant looks like its getting over watered with too much nitrogen, right about now is a good time to cut back on the N, most new growers start bloom ferts as soon as they flip the switch, in your case the use of the wrong ferts was a good one for now, now if you want a bud factory you need a high P food that has less N

DUH. i thought everyone said N was the way to go with blooming. I have only fed the plant this twice. So i dont think i did a whole lot of damage. what do you think about the runts? they a lost cause? they have some bud on them but i dont know if they have enough strength to reach the end. as for using the nuiets as soon as i started...i was very careful with that. i saw what over ferting could do, and i know that MG had some in it already. so in the veg i used GH only about every 6 waterings. maybe less. they only had about 3-4 nuiet waterings before budding. and none before 3 weeks old. as for watering i am only doing it when the meter says moist and not wet. i need to go get a ppm tester. the ph in the soil is around 6.5-7.0 i only water with R/O water which is perfectly balanced at 5.5-6.0 I just hope it has enough strength to reach the end. it is the only plant out of the big ones that is doing it...
