I don't want to contradict anyone here, but it is what it is, and that my friend is nute burn.

I think there should be standard guideline encouraged amongst growers to not ADD nutrients until the plant is over 6 inches tall. But this standard is so variable amongst the different varieties of plants that it would be hard to tell someone to stick to it.

When im working with small plants and I think they need some nutes added to them I will put a "Little" of whatever liquid nute I want to use on my fingers and thumb.I then apply a "Little" of it by rubbing it on the leaves (sometimes just one leaf) ,stem,or whatever I want to apply it to.Most usually the leaves though.This way I get a good idea of how the plant is gonna work with the nute im using.

Before I forget to mention it I allways wash my hands before going near plants.Just in case I have something that can hurt them on my hands.

I have learned that the best thing to is allways make any nutrient solutions I work with very weak.If they need more I add more.This run it has helped my plants alot.

To the O.P....good luck...keep at it,keep reading...and you will get it.:plant grow:

Sweet you'll see how fast they bounce back :)
I flushed yesterday and I'm flushing the remaining 3 today. I too noticed happier plants this morning.

Remember that flushing isn't a bad thing. It's probably the best thing for them after a long feeding regimen. I decided to flush because I'm flipping in a day or two and this will allow me build their appetite before they feed again.

well to start do a flush, flush with 2 times the water of the container size. so 2 gallon pots 4 gallons of flushing. test the runoff and let us know what the ph is. did you ph before or after you added nutes to your water? could very well be a lockout situation. if your ph is off it will screw everything up and make you thing deficiencys and such.doesnt matter if it says its ph stable medium, if you constantly feed it or water it with ph thats way off it will eventually throw off your ph in the soil.start out after you flush by giving it no more then half what it says on grow big. add the superthrive very little no more then what it says which i know is 1ml. to a gallon. id get some cal mag to. after a few weeks kick it up to 3/4 ,unless it looks lacking. you dont need big bloom till flowering along with tiger bloom. go very easy with granules and dont start using those till flower also. hope this helps.

it looks a lot like over watering imo. the reason i think this is because i have done my fare share of overwatering :)

K you are using Fox farms ocean forest and happy from at a 50/50 mix along with adding liquid fertilizer. These nutrients move as you flush. How much water did you use. I flushed my gals in 5 gallons with 15 gallons each and at that I still didn't leach all the dissolved solids because I was able to test with a TDS meter but it was low enough. My girls look hot not but I needed a lot of water.

Flush till you see water oozing out the bottom of the pot. I take mine to the bathtub for a flush and I use a low power hose to gently fill each bucket. I do this till the water looks like its going to over flow and then I stop. When the water disappears I'll do it again till the runoff levels decrease.

The runoff is the water that comes out of the plants from the bottom. Are you testing the runoff?

you could always re-pot them into a different soil. might be easier on your plant than all this flushing

I've heard of Ocean Forest burning sensitive young plants, I know ppl who add coco to combat this, improves drainage as well...

That might explain why flushing made it worse, possible that you're actually releasing more shit into the babies' roots. I would say transplant but they are already stressed out..maybe try it on one and see if she bites the dust.
