>2 tablespoons of Big Bloom and 1.5 teaspoons of Grow Big
I can confidently say that's most likely N toxicity then, that's WAY too much food / gallon this young, I add 3 TBS into 6 Gallons of water for 5 plants so..I am sure that paints a good enough picture :P
I don't really know what you should do from here though as I am pretty new myself, wait for someone with more experience to chime in.
Also if you really want to grow some nice bud spend they few extra $$ and order a pH and PPM meter
This one is cheap and works great
It really does make a difference to learn how to do the water / feeding stuff correctly, my plants were just kind of "meh" but then those meters / pH adjusters arrived and it was like night and day growth wise for the plants. They just took off.
EDIT: Also you said its FoxFarm nutes? Look on the bottles it lists how much food / gallon to use. Cut that in half is the rule of thumb I have come to learn. Until you get a PPM meter then you can really know how much food its getting.
This $15
That alone would be better than nothing
This $20
So for $35 you have no mess ups, no mishaps, no confusion misunderstandings or headaches down the road. I say worth. Plus if you take care of your stuff its a useful tool outside of cannabis cultivation! :D
Yes, that's perfectly normal. As for checking PPM, I would recommend something like this set. I've used a similar set and had no problems, although for the price I would recommend a new pH meter every grow. I found that the pH meter became slow to respond, but still works.
