Trouble in flower

I have enough silica I believe with rice hulls, charred rice Hulls and also use Potassium Silicate in tiny amounts to PH Up.
I wish i could help but i grow in coco and that is a different animal from soil. Hopefully one of the organic growers will chime in on this question. What i do no is the silica really helps with the plants ability to uptake all nutrients. You just have to have enough in the media for it to work.

To get so far only to have troubles is a pain.

They are all acting the same now ?

Just generalizing , ,,,
Seems like everything was going okay up until your last watering, and ever since then your plants have started to present like this ??
True?

Would you say ,your last watering was identical (in make up) to the previous one before ???
Reasoning- if they did not react the same ,
how could the feeding have been the same??
Just spitballing, dude. I feel your pain.

Nitrogen or high PPM burn typically starts at the tip and works its way back. I do not see that here.
I see heavy leaves. I see leaves clawing down. I see blades wilting inwards.
Kinda looks like the plant is refusing whatever was in that watering can.

Hard to get or give good advice.
For myself ,when all of the parameters are sticking to the middle of the road everything seems a-okay.
I find when I am having troubles it's because something is not in the middle of the road anymore.

You are correct that the Wedding Cake issue only happened after the last watering of 3 litres. Maybe slightly more.

However, 2 of the plants (Amnesia and Blue Dream) were already exhibiting clawing lower fan tips that made me realize I was overwatering at 1.5 litres every other day.

So I waited for 4 days before watering that 3 litres for each Plant. I thought I saw droop but in hindsight, Pots may not have been as light as should be. So I probably watered too soon and caused the diaper rash.

Feed was not much different. Just water and some microbes. Definitely below 100ppm.

Am not sure what to think Now, other than letting them dry out and feed a tea.

Me..?.. I would let them dry out a bit...........then bring em back with just ph'd water. If that didn't do it, I would think about re-potting or up potting with some new soil. That's for the first one. I would just watch the BD and Amnesia for now........they might grow right thru that.
I would if practical, roughly check the soil ph, just to eliminate that as an issue. I think your tea idea is also good, I might add some boric acid to that...like a half teaspoon per gallon.

Sounds solid to me! Could I do a mild Seaweed extract solution for the first one? Just to give some Potassium just in case? Could help deal with the stress? Perhaps for BD snd Amnesia too?

How do you determine when to water? Whats your method brother?

Really appreciate the reply! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at them one by one.

Why boric Acid though? You suspect pests? Quite unlikely imho.

Repot is a great idea .

I'm sure it is but its a 10gal pot and I'm really bad at repotting. I repot from solo cup and that's it. I'm aware repotting successively will probably save me a lot of issues but was really trying to learn how to do without.

Thank you brother! Much thanks.
Oh shit u in ten gal. That thing just needs time to dry out . When u first get em into the ten gal watering is critical. The roots are not taking up much space . Super easy to overwater. Jmo
