Flush Soil Bush Grow

[BGizzle]

OK, theoretically if I had 16 plants (Safari Mix/Hashberry) in a bush formation growing LST, all doing very well... I added the first nute solution of the year 2 weeks ago or so... about half strength for a daily watering recommendation... 20 drops in 6 quart container X 2 of miracle grow 7-7-7 for african violets. They responded well to this, the next week I was planning on not giving them nutes until the next week, but it ended up happening two weeks in a row. So the bottom leaves are burned as shit over night - bottom leaves turned yellow some fell off, I'm wondering how much more this will continue to effect the plants. The tops are bright green and down about the first 4 - 6 nodes, then there are 2 - 3 nodes (small to begin with) leaves were yellowed and getting nute burned and sun burned very easily? I tried to flush them the next day with about twice as much water a little more than the day before (not overwatering, soil gets dry easily and its very hot in direct sun). Im about to go back and I need some professional advise on some emergency measures to prevent the deaths of my plants. For the most part they are very large and healthy, but I still overdid it so I'm scared. Also, when plants are all sexed female and they are growing in vegetative (pistils shooting up very rapidly), I am wondering if it is okay in LST to "weave" the branches on each node together exposing the sun only to the centers of the nodes or if it will be detrimental to the plant? Thank you!

I don't do too well with theories.

Keep it simple stoner.

Also I'm not sure what you mean by weaving. But the more air that can circulate between your buds the less risk you have of "stagnant air" and mold forming.
