about a week ago I think I nutrient burned my one and only plant. In response, I put it in a bigger pot with some new soil and water the hell out of it. It doesn’t appear to have grown much if at all since then. Any advice will be welcome. Gonna attach a few pics too

If you don't mind me asking, why did you up-pot it? In my experience once fully in flower plants are focused on making flower, not expanding their root system?
I'd just give it a little time, personally, doesn't look too bad, and you don't want to overdue watering trying to flush the overferting.

honestly figured the extra soil would help with the nutrient burn. This is my first real grow so I’m still learning. Thanks for the advice

Looks like nitrogen toxicity and potassium deficiency, cannabis uses a lot of potassium for the flowering stage. Also not sure why you'd transplant it in flower. What medium are you in? Feeding nutrients? pH going in?

I'm sure I've done worse, certainly done more than my fair share of learning through mistakes.
It was in fox farms strawberry fields and was using fox farm trio because we sell fox farm products at my job. I was following fox farm feeding schedule. I transplanted with ocean forest from fox farm as well. Ph I’m not entirely sure of. I never had any signs of ph being off so I’ve just been going with it. Like I told the other guy. First grow. Kind of panicked and thought clean soil would be a good idea. Still learning.

I'm not familiar with any FF products as I haven't used them but I would back down on the veg nutrient. I think thats the FF Grow Big and increase the flowering nutrient. Big Bloom id assume. Needs that K boost for flower.

That Fox Farm feeding schedule is too strong and when you use it with a somewhat hot soil like FFOF people tend to burn their plants. I see more nutrient burned plants from people feeding full strength according to that chart than any other nutrient. I like their soil but am not a fan of their nutrients based on the results I've seen. If you do continue to use them cut the strength back.
I’m probably just gonna be watering with straight water from here on out. The ocean forest should have enough nutrients in it to carry me the rest of the way. I’m really just concerned that it hasn’t appeared to grow much since I noticed the nutrient burn( about a week ago) I probably shocked it thru transplanting and it’ll be fine in another week or so. Thanks for advice
Yep, I'm experiencing that myself at the moment. Following the feeding schedule it seems to be overfeedfing (at least for me it is) .
Going to try feeding once a week, and the go from there. GL, its hard tondial this stuff in.
