Not good to feed dry roots. They're shocked some but will recover fine. Also, a little n throughout the rest of the grow us needed IMO. Too many bloom nutes fall way short on N.

Keep it evenly moist at all times for optimal growth .. Letting your roots dry out will enforce nutirnt deficiencies in acidic soils .. Youll have better growth and healthier plants and a more stable Ph as well ..

I would feed those plants with an addition of Cal/Mag asap ! And only allow maybe 10% max runoff ..

I agree that you have overwaterd and underwaterd as well .. Hence creating a sickend root system which shows up within the leaves as shown .. Time to baby them and get em back on track now

1ml of super thrive? How often? Supr thrive is very good stuff but used more then one or two times in a plants life is abuse which can and will cause problems like toxicity of micros, really you may better off putting the super thrive down. A high quility nute will have all your plants need in the correct amount. You should also look and see how compact your soil is which will suffocate your roots and look like over watered. This is just my opinion under watered I have has plants that start to wilt when the soil still moist because the pot was to small this also happens to outdoor grower.

SuperThrive is amazing, the synthetic auxin I use to boost flowering or I should say induce flowering. Too much Auxins will cause increase in ethylene witch is the cause of problems. A little rarely is AMAZING too much one time is like dropping an A-BOMB.
