Hi.

Organic soil, 5g fabric pot, top dressing with Dr Earth, top dressed 3 days ago, started happening late Sunday, rh and temp in line with vpd, day 71, autos, Mars fce4800 at 500 par about 18 inches away.

Any idea what this could be? I initially thought hunger but this did not happen until after a feeding.

How much did you top dress the 5 g pot with?
Dr Earth is organic I believe right?
How much Dr Earth have you used before?
It looks like they got a bit too much fertilizer to me, thats probably why the leaves are doing that and also the tips of the healthier leaves are burnt so leads me to believe way to much fertilizer.

It was 1/4 cup. I feed it every other week based on the schedule. Dr Earth Flower Girl is a 3-9-4

Oh no you're using way too much of that stuff. The instructions are actually every 2 months not every 2 weeks. I use Dr Earth for my vegetable garden. I apply that stuff at first till then again 2 months later and its good. Its some strong fertilizer and it feeds for extended periods of time.

That plant should only need 2 top dressings of Dr Earth its entire lifecycle. Take off the top 3 inches of soil from your pot and flush it, get that built up fertilizer out of there. I dont believe in flushing plants for any reason except for over feeding as a last resort so the plant doesnt die. If you dont I believe your plant with wither away and look like a bag of potato chips. You dont have much time left till the plant finishes but Im not sure if the plant will finish if you dont flush out that extra fertilizer.

Before you do that what is your soil composed of? Do you have a bunch of dry ferts like Dr Earth mixed in the soil as well? If so flushing probably wont work.
