I flushed all 3 with about 4gal of ph water hopping to save them. Leaves started turning yellow with brown spots all over. What did I do wrong?

@LT Mont Your troubles probably started well before the Tiger Bloom application. It looks to me like you ran out of P-K. That is mostly irrelevant now.

OF is Soil and you cannot successfully flush soil it often makes matters worse. Soil has elements like Dolomite lime and other rock hard sources of nutrients that the soil microbes break down into the ionic forms the plant can uptake. Flushing washes away all of the available soluable nutrients along will most of the living microbes but leaves behind the solid forms of nutrients totally out of balance. You have no way of knowing what is in the pot and no way of determining what to add back in to try to get the balance back. You simply do not have enough time to get the soil healthy again before the plants are done.

The first thing you should do is an application of Recharge with a complete balanced fertilizer at 400 PPM. Do not add Cal-mag. You can use some Epsom Salt at 1g per gallon of fertilizer mix.

Get some Earth Juice Microblast and do a foliar application ASAP.

They are not dead yet and I have seen worse make it to harvest. They just will not be all they genetically could have been.

I'm no expert so take what I say with a grain of salt. But, I think flushing was your first mistake. A 1/8 dose of TB wouldn't hurt them like this. I've used it at full dose on my plants and haven't ever seen anything like this. I think you over watered them. They don't look like they're gonna die, yet, so after running 4 gallons through them let them dry out a bit and see how they look. Wait a few days and strip some of those leaves off, mostly the ones that are most damaged. You will be able to see if the issue is getting better or worse and you can get rid of some of those leaves that make the girls look so sad.

I was also gonna say PK based on the color but didn't want to lead astray.

Wondering why the P-K would be out of balance when Tiger Bloom is 2-8-7 NPK?

Like @Mañ'O'Green said, I think your problem started well before you fed TB. Probably waited to long to feed. My experience is that once they start throwing pistils they like food. Some more than others and some more than you’d think you should be feeding.

You have a good point......... these are in OF which I had planed on not adding nuts to ----- my bad--- I just pruned the dying leaves off have them sitting on towels to help dry out the soil --- a few days will tell,

I usually use HF but added OF at about 40% this time and I’m not happy with it. I won’t use OF again.
