words from the OP " When I transplanted I mixed FFOF, EWC, compost and 3-9-4 flower girl "
The compost he used is some of the highest rated compost there is. FFOF runs HOT like chugging a cup of noodles straight out of the fckn microwave.
EWC 1-0-0. And then he added bloom amendments. Amendments. Read the ingredients and the ratio. He went full strength. Not light. Full strength in a full strength soil and a full strength compost.
I think his timeframes might be off - Continued to veg after transplanting in that mix adding BLOOM amendments for 2 weeks.
This still spells lockout to me.
I do not know your mixture. But it does not sound like a good one.
If I made all the decisions you made... went in my room and I looked at that plant and my leaves were going belly up -
I would
1) LEAVE THEM ON so they can take the brunt of whatever is happening in the soil. They will fall off once they do as much work as they can.
2) water 1/2 way plain low PH (whatever that is for soil, I think the bible says 6.5-6.8 ) I would even hit 5.8. no runoff
3) LIGHTLY top dress with my EWC. Water with plain water my regular PH whatever that has been before the transplant. until runoff
push some of that crap out - The EWC will add a tad bit of N back into it and chill for a bit to let the EWC break down everything you put in there.
But this is just me. Good luck.
