What do they need

Yeah, I'm gonna say too much nutrients as well. Most plants in your pics have mild nute burn on the tips, some have nitrogen clawing, and anytime the fan leaves get glossy they are getting too much N.

I’m using bee safe spray e3d before lights out, was assuming that was why they looked waxy

can you give us details on how you water? pot size? light type? light distance? what are you spraying on them?
I have about 50gals of that mix in a 65gal smart, there’s 3 in that and I have about 25gal in a 35gal pot with 2 in it that gets 2 gallons. They are watered every 3-4 days and sprayed with bee safe before lights out e3d. They are under and hlg600r at 50% and about 38”

those are huge pots for a tent. definitely overwatered and chill on the bee safe only use it if you need it. If lights are gonna stay that high, run em at 100% and let the plants grow into them, they need more light.

also need to let the pots dry out before watering. just hang out and watch for about a week or so, may take longer than a week. when watering, need to saturate the pot, but aim for minimal runoff. all the food is already in the your soil.

not sure what temps/humidity is either, but aim for around 80F/64%

Holding around 78% and between 55-65 depending on my houses humidity and how long from watering. They’re really not THAT big for what I have in em though, I’m pretty sure I’m running less cft than a 4x4 grass roots, I think they’re like 120gal and fit perfect in a 5x5 from what I’ve seen. Was originally going to order one of the grassroots but I already had a half a dozen of these from my outdoor‍♂

So I guess I mixed it way too hot is the general consensus, so should I water heavy next few waterings in an attempt to flush or should I flip to flower a week early and crank my light so they start eating the extra nutes?

Nute burn doesn't go away on the old growth, so watering extra won't help fix that. Just worry about the new growth. Try cutting your feed in half or 3/4. Unless you use RO water and an EC meter it's hard to determine a qualitative amount of feed. Get the feed right and the plant happy BEFORE you flip to flower.

I would try to shoot for medium/dark green leaves with NO gloss, nitrogen clawing or nute burn on your old growth, fresh young leaves should be lighter, almost lime green color.

It’s a water only setup
