This is my first grow, and I have run into a bit of dilemma as I believe my plants are having multiple issues at once, making it hard for me to judge what it is. I'm not going to post my suspicions yet so not to influence anyone's diagnose.
A brief history: I suspected a calcium/magnesium deficiency, which prompted me to add more Cal-Mag. Which made then ran into a nutrient lockout because of excess Cal-Mag, I was hitting 4200 ppm on some run-offs. Thus, I promptly flushed them about 4 days ago. I now have learned Cal-Mag is not much nessesary when growing on soil, is that true?
Medium: Fox Farm Ocean Forest on Fabric Pots.
Water Source: Tap left to sit bubbling with and air pump and air stone for at least 24 hours. When I can not, I've used a water conditioner.
Strain/age: Strawberry Cheesecake Auto and Larry Lemon OG Auto from Seedsman, Both are 47 Days (Week 7).
Light: Spider Farmer SF4000 at 18in.
PAR: ~ 950.
Temperature: Avg 79.7°f, High 86°f, Low 67°f.
Humidity: Avg 59%, High 77%, Low 42%.
CO2: Homemade (Yeast, Sugar, Air Pumped).
Space: 4x4 Tent.
Feeding:
Base: Sensi Bloom.
Veg: Voodoo Juice, B52, Silica, Cal-Mag.
Flower: Big Bid, Sensizym, Carbo Load, Bud Candy, Cal-Mag.
Other Additives: Molasses, Recharge, Snow Storm Ultra as a light Foliar.
You can see my whole feeding schedule on this document:
And anyone who like the document can make a copy. I cannot claim that I did because I found it online. I use Gantt at work, so this works perfect for me. Also, I've tried my best at keeping track of every PH and PPM, but it's my first grow and I forgot while doing it.
Much thanks already for taking the time to read.

I think you're going to need a pro to look through this but, are those ppm numbers for feed correct?
OF isnt hot really as far as nutrient density is concerned. Although it seems quality control is lacking as its in high demand and it doesnt "cook" long enough on occasion before its sold. You can usually tell by the smell. To be safe simply dump any bag of ffof into a tote and water it a bit and let it sit for a month and then use it. I dont plant directly into it although some do without issue but I wouldnt recommend it. At least thats what ive found and thats what works for me. Happy Frog is also a good soil as mentioned above.. but poops out bit faster. Either are great to reuse and amend with some additional aeration and other goodies. You should have been good with nothing but water and maybe organic molasses for the first 3 weeks. You threw quite a few things at your seedlings in a short period of time.
