Nice looking buds. I think you are over watering just a bit.

here is the full scoop on my grow:
4x4x6 grow space indoors
2x 300w LED
1x 600w LED
lots of fans
temp is in the 70's
humidity bounces around based on when I watered, most always below 60%, usually in the 40's. I use a mini dehumidifier when I need to.
Black Gold Organic Soil. Some plants in 3gal some in 5gal.
1x Alien OG
1x Super Lemon Haze
4x Tahoe OG (for fun I tried diff pot sizes here, only two of these are sizable and the other 2 might give me an eighth each)
1x El Chapo
1x Purple Urkle
Today is week 5 day 2 since flip
Watering with fox farm big bloom, regular dose about every third day now. Calmag a few times.
I vegged for 7-8 weeks, all from seed that I found in nugs at my work. During that time I never fed twice in one week, took them a long time to need water.
This is I think the purple urkle and is the only plant that appears this sad.

I dont think big bloom alone is enough, it wasnt for me and it showed starting with the biggest plants first mid flower.

What else did you add?

nice strain line up!
I hate on fox farm, so bare with me.
you dont need cal mag in that soil
they took a long time to take up water because I think they locked out somethings, not sure why, likely overfed(strain specific?)
I dont know if this one can be saved but I'd seriously look into some organic feed, liquid or dry ferts,
botanicare makes great stuff, I prefer their organicare dry ferts to anything I've used.
dont water until that pot is dry to the bottom, before the plant wilts though. add only 1/4 the dirt volume of water all at once when you do.

Nothing, i took the loss.
Big bloom is kind of like a bottled worm casting tea, at 0.01 - 0.3 - 0.7 its pretty weak.
Is that all you've added? Are you flowering in the same pot you vegged in?
Here, try to come to a conclusion.

Thanks for the chart.

it looks like you switched to bloom nutes too early, when you flip a plant, keep feeding it veg feed till you actually start to see it produce pistils, they're building a lot of new material and still need the N for the first week or two of flower

For this plant it's been given ff big bloom since w3d3 flip. Grow nutes prior to that. A splash of calmag.
Different pot, was switched about a week or two before the flip.
Based on your chart and further surfing the net, I thought this was calcium and magnesium deficiency so last night I fed with clean water and calmag. Plant is super perked up this morning and now new yellowers. The rest of the plants look like they'd like to be fed today now! Slight droopiness and dry pots.
What a bummer, I went to switch from fox farm to botanicare at a hydroponic shop last week and they pushed the ff on me when I wanted to switch.

i've read the comments no where did you mention the ph of your growing medium or the ph or your nutrient solution, do you have an instrument to measure either? im sure whatever the problem may be it could be easily fixed by flushing the medium and then giving a light dose of nutrients with the corresponding ph in relation to the ph of your medium.

Using that fox farm big bloom and calmag. Do you think this is not enough? Man I'm bummed that sales guy drove me to fox farm over botanicare but oh well, next time i know. I don't want to waste this big bottle I just purchased, so I still plan to use it, but I would be happy to hear a suggestion of something I can add along with it until its empty.

Well Big bloom is a micro additive your supposed to use throughout the grow. It's called the ff trio because there are 3 parts you need to use: Grow big(veg), Big bloom(throughout), and Tiger bloom(flower). big bloom doesn't have a full npk. This is all on fox farms feeding schedule. By all means use the bottle just pick up some bloom nutes to use with it.

Thank you for the info. I can't believe the people at the hydroponics shop sent me on my way with just the big bloom! My goodness. I was using botanicare grow nutrients since the plants were old enough to handle feedings, then started the big bloom on w3 since flip. It has me using 4 tablespoons per gallon of water. So you think keep those 4 tablespoons, keep the 1 teaspoon of calmag, and then go get the tiger bloom and use it's recommended dose? Also speaking of recommended doses, the bottle mentions using a half cup for heavy feedings. When would I heavily feed? Thank you!

Don't start with the recommended amounts those will usually burn the plant unless your in hydro with lots of experience. Work your way up to that recommendation, if at any time your leaves start to burn dial back a bit. A heavy feed is determined by you the grower, you need to read your plants according to that handy chart @SPLFreak808 gave you and give them what they need accordingly. I only do a heavy feed the week before a transplant and halfway through flower but it depends on your plants needs.
