please help identifying issue during flower

After a very impressive outdoor veg, I am having a not so impressive flower so far.. mostly only small buds. most smaller/lower growth is having some serious discoloration (see pictures).

two different strains of plant (strains unknown). currently using calmag, tigerbloom, bigbloom, and beastie bloom (beastiebloom at half recommended dosage). feeding every 5 days. pH of well water is 6.5. I've been following the foxfarm feeding schedule (with the addition of calmag). growing in 5 gallon buckets and also straight into a raised bed. drainage is good. all plants having similar problems.

started showing signs about 3 weeks ago. i thought maybe a nutrient lockout, so I flushed them two weeks ago after using open sesame for a few waterings. they're certainly alive but the flower production is weak, especially after such an crazy veg (about 7-8 feet tall). at this time last year, the same strain was flowering 1000% better at this point, although the plants were not nearly as big. I have about 3 more weeks before it gets too cold here.

any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance

C’mon people i know you can help

a few thoughts...

are they all doing this, even the ones on a raised bed? I ask because I know in 5 g. buckets plants that big sometimes get seriously root bound, but still that's not it....

Well water AND calmag might be too much of certain nutrients...Can you capture rain water from a gutter and use that? Or try a different water source somehow?

What are you feeding them besides tigerbloom, bigbloom, and beastie bloom ? Those are all additives. What is there main source of nutrients besides those? Because whatever was in your 5 gallon buckets as a nutrient is long gone at this point.

They might need more food, less additives!!

The ones in the raised beds are doing it much less than the 5 gallon containers. But still doing so on most of the smaller growth. Those are also much larger than the 5 gallon container plants.
i could definitely use water from the rain barrel. The only other nute was grow big. Which i stopped last week per the ff feeding schedule. This issue started before stopping the grow big. Plus the ff potting soil.

I'm really not sure what it is either...I'll be in interested to hear others thoughts.

I do see some slight signs of bugs possibly, and the damage seems to be to newer growth...Have you looked them over good for bugs? Under leaves with a scope?

I hope you figure it out!!

been fighting bugs all season. also hoping someone has an idea. thanks

Bump

Whens the last time you fed them bitches? Have you fed them since flushing?
