Yesterday was my first time giving nutrients I put a half of teaspoon of fox farm grow big in a gallon jug. The temps range from 76 to 83 and the humidity hovers around 30 which I know is to low I'm working on that problem now. And I am using 1000 watt hps for the whole grow.
How high did you place the hps from the canopy?
Also, how often ate you watering? Do you get runoff?

I water when the soil is dry usually I have to water in the morning and the evening but these pots do not have holes on the bottom so I cannot get runoff. Right now the light is about 4 ft from plants

Could this be to much nitrogen

Just give it plain water for now. No need to do anything drastic.

yup only tap water when it starts showing a yellow fade on the bottom then it likely means she wants food but shes full on nitrogen wont be a while.my plant have been eating 600 ppm and their still a little hungry. in your case your soil is the food. what some people do in ff is keep replanting it till it gets to a 5/7 gall pot then they just do dry amendments into the top of the soil and mix it in the top.

This is what I thought so with ocean forest probably dont need any nutrients for about 6 weeks

Ok will do thank you
from what ive read as well with ocean forest it can be a little strong for plants in seedling into veg. alot of people say let your plant grow to about 4-5 weeks old before introducing ocean forest cause it can damage your small plants but im not sure how true it is. just what i read from alot of forums.

Imo u need to be laser focused on the basics. The leaves are drooping and discoloring. This is a classic sign especially for newbies (i did it too). Every possibility you think of could be valid i.e. fertilizer light etc but in truth it all stems from one thing.
How, when and in what are you watering.
1. Do not use containers without drainage.
2. Water when the plants need it.
3. Do not overwater. Do not water too frequently.
Getting the basics right-- good soil, light, airflow, temp, humidity are more important than they seem. When they are right growing becomes very easy...each element has a very important purpose and target range it should be in. They grow with just water and some nutrition. If these things are not controlled well, the grow becomes a lot harder to manage.
