Yea I really need help on a good nute line up. Nothing fancy or expensive just what works. I was planning on not using any nutes and let the soil do its thing, but that didn’t work out.
LET IT SNOW!!! Are my ladies ready to harvest??

Then it doesn't sound like too much Ca, unless you're giving them a lot. You could have locked it out with too much P from the Bloom depending on how much you were using.
And since you're in FFOF, you could also just give them plain water until harvest. That soil has to still have some nutrients in it. Whatever you do, I'd try to see if I could keep them alive for a couple more weeks or so. If they start looking worse then I'd chop them. But I'd at least give them a chance to fatten up a bit more.

I'm working on just top dressing with dry organic amendments. I don't have it mastered yet though.
Craft Blend from Build a Soil is what I started with. But a lot of people use whatever's local like Dr. Earth.
I have a link for $5 off the Build a Soil site that a bunch of people have used.
I also started in FFOF, and have since turned it into no-till. So technically I'm still using my original soil for 2 1/2 years ago.

One day I was lit and in a rush and I eyeballed nutes I know for a fact I put in too much cal mag and liquid seaweed, within the next day the leaves were yellow and it’s been downhill since

Yea that’s what I’m goin for the no till approach. I feel like all that extra shit is a waste of money.

Well that sounds like where you went wrong. Too much Ca can lockout other stuff, and the FFOF already has some Ca in it like oyster shell flour, and I think they use gypsum too.
So in that case I would cut out the CalMag too. Maybe just plain water until the end.

Yup, live n u learn. So u don’t think I should feed them any of the bloom?

I don't think I would now that I've heard all that. You could try giving it a half dose and see how it responds though. Just the Bloom though, and half of what you were giving it before.

Not if your flushing salts that cause lock out

Ya, that's the only time I'd flush.

I've seen studies showing flushing, or just not feeding, the last week in soil/few days in hydro doesn't hurt terpenenes, yeild, or thc.
But it also doesn't add to any of that or actually change the flavor.
What I have seen it do is help "fade" plants. If done right and combined with low air and soil temps, you can get some really pretty colors (not the extreamly unhealthy kinds), but the natural "fall color" ones.

Where and what exactly should I be looking for?

The buds, or any healthy growth you still have.
