I figured obviously the plant will let me know if i over do it or not but its always good to get confirmation from good growers
What problem is this?

I suggest you move to the 3 part GH Flora base and use only that to finish up. Further high N in early flower will simply reduce your stretch a bit. You have too much but nothing you really need to 'fix'. Just lower the EC or PPM. You're doing fine.

Good to know. I was unaware that a little extra N would stall the stretch a bit

Just curious what your medium is? 7 gallon pots can hold alot of water so u might only feed/water maybe twice a week or less unless u in coco. But since u didn't feed the entire veg I guess u in living soil (ffof/promix) or something. Usually ff has alot of Nitrogen.
I would divide the weekly feeding into 2 feedings. So water/feed less but more often. That way u have more control. So when u see an issue u don't gotta wait days for pot to dry before u can address it. And u want to alternate with feed and water. And stay away from the veg nutes. Alot of Nitrogen during flower will give u bad calyx to leaf ratio. Start with low ppm and work yo way up. Some guys match their ppm with there light ppfd. Then push plant a bit to see what the plant can handle.

Im currently using the Micro Gro Bloom by GH im at the Transition to bloom where its 10 ML of each one and im adding Rapid Start Cal Mag Silica and Ph’ing down to 6.3 - 6.5 Range….
When I saw your use of Floralicious and KoolBloom (neither of which I use), my mind immediately went to their Flora Trio. I've used that nutrient since '96 so I tend to associate them with those. I did try their Floralicious and KoolBloom and found no difference. Then again I'm in coco/perlite.
Based on your pH it sounds like you're in soil not soilless hydro. So I'm out at this point. But your pH looks fine for soil just reduce your feed a bit. They are a tad overfed although I don't see N toxicity. N tox usually appears like a purple/olive sheen to the leaves. Hang in there, there are a lot of good people with tons of experience here to help.
Best of luck finishing them out.
