My first thought when I saw the plants was Transplant, too. They look kinda "choked", right? Sorta smothered-looking? Like the plants outran themselves? So ... root issues. Lazy biota.
But I'm not very good at diagnosing so I was relieved to see Doc say it.
GE is mostly for the plant itself. Transplant is more for the biota. Give 'em a double dose of Trans next drenching (or higher if Doc pipes up - high doses always make me nervous). Back off the foliars, especially Brix. If it were me, I'd skip the foliars entirely until I see improvement - maybe a weak DeStress ...
I was pretty good at producing plants that look like yours, and I've decided that I was over-doing the drenches and foliars. It sounds to me like you've been doing the same. Just ease up a bit.
Would you recommend a full Rescue Drench at this point, Doc?
My official recommendations are to use larger pots. 7 gallons minimum.
My "what would I do if I was forced at gunpoint to grow the wrong way" recommendations are:
double strength transplant drenches with water in between. While doing that, figure out a way to escape the trap of improper growing so it doesn't happen next time. If I was pheno-hunting----and I'm doing exactly that as we speak with Blue Kush, another BOG strain---and will soon do it with Panama, I would grow each pheno out properly so as to sample quality finished product.
I'd rather choose a pheno from a healthy, fully ripe sample. If you choose the one that is least crispy in too small of a pot, you might not be choosing the one that will your favorite if grown out right.
