Auto's could be it. Predetermined life. You say 12 weeks so 84+ days.

My method and works for me:
2TBSP per gallon of medium is what I use for Dr Earth.
I top dress flower girl at Week 3 and Week 6 of flower. (and worm castings) (and build a soils flower top dress kit for soil conditioning)
I also use Week 5-8 build a soils Build a Bloom (2-10-5) as a boooster
I also use humic/fulvic acids to accelerate the breakdown.
And using products like recharge, king crab, orca, etc for Microbes/Bacteria's play a symbiotic relationship with the roots.

would you recommend 7 more tablespoons of flowergirl? They are autoflower so should only have a few more weeks

I thought you were top dressing with FFOF. I read that wrong. Dr. Earth Flower Girl might not be giving enough N and K. It's really high in P though. Do you have the All Purpose too? A couple Tbls per gal every 2-3 weeks should be plenty if they have what they need. I'm not an expert at judging deficiencies, but I'd guess N and K deficiency.

It takes weeks for it to become really available I'm sure you know. So this late, maybe get some Neptune's Harvest or something to work faster.

Hell ya. Build a Flower is bomb, but expensive. Especially if you're far away.

My little ones in 3 gallon pots were drinking 1.25 gallons every 2 days. At 1/2 gallon every 3 days, I highly doubt they are getting near enough water, especially getting them to runoff. Those pots look drier than a popcorn fart. Give them some water, and clean that room up a little, get those dead leaves out of the pots and off the floor, nothing invites issues more than an unclean grow area.

I have fish fertilizer and make some banana tea for faster N and K. Might try that.
