Like I said the Nutes that I am using is apparently something that the owner of the shop I get all my stuff came up with 20 years ago, he calls it wild thing.

I started at half, because the guy that sold it to me told me to start at a full dose. Last feeding was eighth of a teaspoon part a part B and part m, Little bit extra of Part m. Kept feeding it the same one I switched to flower, the guy at the store told me that was what I was supposed to do. I think they might drink a little bit more water when they're yelling like this, but I am not certain on that
Well dude, im going with a hungry plant.
Im not sure if it will even make it at this point but you can try and feed some "part A"

The problem sounds like your dude might be making hella weak nutes and you've kept the plant starving all the way into flower, once stretch hit it nearly killed the poor thing. Either try again with the same nutes at a higher feed or buy something like 91vS++K+rGL._SL1500_.jpg and be over with it. Get them nice and lush before flipping to flower so it can help buy you time for correcting shit if it goes bad in flower!

Is that food that you sent me just one part thing? And it's just for veg?

They didn't stretch when they hit flower, they completely stopped growing vertically.
I've tried two different other brands of Nutes, same result. I even tried decently expensive one, Greenhouse Seed Co powder feed
 
Have the plants been in that same pot the whole grow ?? You may be root bound? Happens quickly in soil. Things you are pointing out lead me to think that ?If you are using water that has been purified or whatever then it is definitely lacking calcium and mag. That looks like mag. You need extra mag early in flower so it will get worse when they go into the flowering phase. Pot temps are also a big overlooked issue that people forget or don't know about . If it gets to cold in your room your plants will not eat and then you get salt buildup . Ph in pro mix always drops over time BAD which causes probs too but you said ph is 6.6 in the runoff ? So that isn't bad at all . Hope this leads you in a better direction.
When I add my Nutes to water, it is 6.6 pH I never have to change it, it's always just at 6.6.

Should I use Cal mag through veg and flower? I picked some up today. Like how big or old does the plant have to be to start using it once I start my next grow.

And when I water, it runs off within a split second. Could that mean I'm root bound? Or maybe it's just running down the space between my soil and my pot because soil shrinks when it dries right
 
One more question to all of you, if I was Way Over watering, I was dumb and doing the finger test, so the top of the soil was dry but the bottom was so soaked, which led to my plants being Horrendously overwatered for quite some time for about the first third of my plants life, could that have something to do with how shitty my Plant is doing? Is it completely fixable after its done?Like if I overwatered. Or will the plant never completely heal, it will never be as good as it could've been?

No stretch could be genetics(highly unlikely),stunted growth,lack of N or just a stressed plant in general. You need perfect or near perfect plants before going into flower, if you overwatered and damaged some roots you would need to add more veg time for recovery.

I went from veg to the end of flower with foliage pro. It works great and its easy to use because you wont get tangled in a mess of bottles.

Also, I've never used promix HP but im pretty sure its considered a "soilless" medium meaning you should treat it more on the hydro side in terms of pH in ect, someone correct me if im wrong about this.

If you're not watering every day or even twice a day, somethings not right regarding your foliage and root mass. Root rot is out of the question for a well grown plant. The plant will not recover if stunted as described.

Fo Pro is fine from start to finish.

That most definitely helps thank you I appreciate it. I don't have a ppm metre though and I am laid off so money is tight. Do I need one?
Yes! They are cheap on e bay. I Got both a ppm and ph pen for like 12 bucks free shipping.. your plants look bad tho. I would stop feeding all together. The nutes that guy gave you aren't working. Try just water ph to 5.8.

You're correct it is a soilless medium.
