one teaspoon per gallon if its bad two teaspoons
Wait the other guy just said 2 tablespoons per gallon soil.
Now I'm confused, have I just over done it?

I have 5 girls the other 4 show no sign of this problem. I don't understand how... I just got done flushing with straight water. I am not sure if I should continue feeding it Tiger bloom or not. I may just wait a few days to continue feeding it. Being as the soil is very saturated.
Also the plant in general seem to be healthy. All new growth is green and lush. Bud production appears decent, doesn't appear to have stopped from what I can tell.
If anyone has any input or advise I'd be happy to hear. Thanks!

Actually how much tiger bloom did you feed it? and did you ph your water after adding the tiger bloom? Tiger bloom is ph'd SUPER low for long shelf life and will REALLY drop your ph

Well I have been giving it 500-800 ppm (500 at beginning to 800 today). But just the last feeding 2 days ago I accidentally put in 800ppms of Fox Farm Big Bloom (not Tiger Bloom!) I just realised this after I posted all this when I was cleaning up! It got really bad after that. I thought it could be too much Nitrogen so thats why i just flushed it, and will go from there. I did add a teaspoon of epsom salt too all my girls just incase.
As to PHing my water, I just ph it while it's in the reservoir (plain water). Not after mixing my nutes, that actually never accurred to me! I will from now on. Thanks guys for your help!

Funny you mention that! When I was unknowingly at the time adding Big Bloom (thinking it was Tiger Bloom) I kept saying why does it seem like i've added five times as much that 2 days ago! I was wondering if my ppm meter was jacked up. Now I get it makes since Max316, Thanks!
Update, I added 2 teaspoons/gallon of epsom salt early this morning to all my girls. About 3 cups of the mixture to each girl. I hope that was a sufficiant amount. My fingers are crossed! This yellowing and spotting is really coming on FAST!!! But in general the buds and overall plant seems healthy...

So as a result of top dressing the soil. It increase Ph up to 7.5 since Friday.
To reduce it I've used lemon juice and water and have reduced the soil Ph back to 7ish.
A lot of the bottom older leaf dried up and have died which I assume is from the fluctuations in Ph but hopefully now the newer growth will be ok now with the lime to fix calcium deficiency.

Your plants have to have calcium to absorb the magnesium. epsom salt wont do it alone you need cal-mag. max was saying start using it as soon as you flip your light cycle to 12/12
