FFOF can be quite hot. I've had issues with it myself in the past. It's high in nitrogen and they even say on their website that no nitrogen fertilizer is needed at first. Also different batches can be hotter than others due to ingredients like aged forest products having different nutrient levels. If they're like many soil companies they also make it regionally so what you get in one part of the country may be different than other parts as they likely source ingredients like forest products regionally. I know people that mix it 50/50 with Happy Frog and I've started doing that myself when using it.

Unfortunately it looks like at least one of those plants has started flowering which is the worst time to have issues with your plants. My only advice would be not to feed anything and just give them plain water. Others might say to flush them with a bunch of water but you might just release more nitrogen faster and then you'd have very unhappy plants with roots in soggy soil deprived of oxygen making things even worse. I'd just ride it out myself.

Good luck

:( Fox Farms always does this. Maybe look into Super Soils? Stuff like Michigan Made Mix is a start if you want to just water them and not have to mix nutrients. It won't make your plants look like Fox Farms Soil does. If you use the search bar on the forum you'll see tons of people with issues similar to this and they are using Fox Farms.

For now just water lightly when they feel almost dry, that will help the plant stop up taking too much fertilizer.

FFOF is great stuff. Millions of growers use it indoors and outdoors. Yes it can be hot sometimes but I’ve never had it truly fry a young plant. Remember this is a FFOF thread. Anyone directing you somewhere else, well you’d have to ask why they are here in the first place

The only bug I’ve ever found in FFOF IS Hypoasis and they are a predatory mite..... good for the garden. I’ve been using it for years from seed to harvest.... zero issues... ZERO

Ok so I read this thread and I see all the flowering comments but....other than it just flowering how do you know if it's an auto? I ask because I have some seedlings on 18/6 and they seem to have started flowering however they haven't been on 12/12...hopefully that doesn't sound dumb

Here's the male only pics i have of them at the moment I'll take pics of the females too when I get home. I topped them and then they started flowering in the cloner lol I just pulled the male from the cloner and put it in soil.

I've had the same thing happen with autos before. If you haven't changed the light cycle and the only thing is that you cut them I'd be willing to bet their auto's.
In my experience they will stretch some but basically just flower as they are, and there's nothing you can do to reveg.
