My plants are dead

I don't think you are totally fucked, especially with your monster outdoor plant. Have you tried flushing them? If the leaves still look like they did the pic it is worth trying to recover. One of the other posters mentioned 15 gallons, which is 3x your medium. Its worth a shot. If the biggest plant survives you have two options, you can LST it down, and let it flower out, or turn it back to 24 hours of light, turn it into a monther, take a bunch of clones and then flower those. You'll be a few weeks behind but not dead in the water.

You can still recover.

My suggestion is for your next grow, rather than trying to add nutes and worry about burn, just follow a soil recipe that requires only water. I use moonshine mix, Subcool has his super soil, there is LC's soil mix #1 and #2 I think, also blaeoneup's soild mix. That makes it super easy for new growers.

I'm still skeptical. I really doubt that could happen in one day, even if you did mix it at double strength, PH'ed or not. There's got to be more to this. C'mon, what's the real story?

Looks like they ran dry, then baked under the lights, to me.

i watched a friend do the same thing before... he tried to pump as much nutrients in his plants as they will take... sometimes they look... burned... i guess i just dont like the idea of forcing food down my babies throat lol.

Nah man nothing more 2 it. I'll be honest I didnt really adjust the PH after I put it in, but other then that I went to my house, taped the chart on the wall (straight from the fox farm website) and then got a measureing cup, poured it into the Poland spring bottle with water added to it, dumped it on each plant, woke up and plotted to hurl myself out of a window.

so im guessing you gave your plants 10 tsp with about half a gallon of water. the amount of soil does not matter tsp/gallons is fertilizer/water not fertilizer/soil mass

I did go light on the nutrients, i went to the fox farm website and they have a chart there telling you exactly how much, and how many times to put the tiger bloom in, and i followed it step by step, and this is still what i was left with in less then 24 hours. someone said that I might of bought the "Tiger Bloom Organic Based Fertilizer" instead of the none Fertilized Tiger Bloom, or the Big Bloom

....is this what you used? ...what the hell is "none fertilized Tiger Bloom?"

I haven't used FF ferts before, so I don't know how much they drop PH when mixed, but, the Dynagro I use, drops PH close to 5.0, mixed at full strength. Knowing that, I'm thinking that you possibly gave them a mix that PH'ed in the 4.0 range, which is quite acidic, and a possible cause.

Minus the grow big yeah, thats what I used.
...okay, and just to clear this up....how much fertilizer of each bottle did you use? ...did you add the fertilizers to water and mix before you applied to your ladies? ...and when was your last transplant prior to giving them any fertilizers?
