I do not use fox farm but I would only use the mixture they suggest and figure out how much your plants can handle. Start with a low ppm and work your way up until burn appears, then go back down a little. They seem to suggest some high ppm sometimes. Most people start with 1/4 strength nute mix or so and work there way up as the plant grows.

Foxfarm is a fine nutrient.
Never feed your plants with the recommended doses, especially if your plants are small/seedlings/clones.

feed less next time. Sorry to hear your plants died.
 
ya never go by what they say.... most people i see start low and add to it depending on what the plants need...Iv learned that the hard way before as well....but fox farm are really good nutes just need to adjust to what the plants need...Good luck:)!!

Follow the Fox Farm schedule but begin at 1/3 strength. Make sure you buy a PPM and PH tester if your doing hydroponics. Your plant should be getting nutes like this :
here is a good chart

Seedlings, Early Sprouts 100 to 250

Early Vegging 300 to 400

Full Vegetation 450 to 700

Early Blooming 750 to 950

Full Mature Blooms 1000 to 1600


Follow their schedule but make adjustments in ratios to be in the correct range on that scale.

Pretty much what they said...I've been using it for 2 years now. The best thing to do is get a digital meter and keep the PPM's a few 100 lower than the chart.
What week were you on?...could it be something else like heat?

With a meter, you'll find that when used with the chart , you have to add a little less in veg, and a little more in flower than the chart calls for.( for my plants anyway)

And always mix the solubles ( open sesame, beastie bloom, and Cha Ching) with water 1st, then into the res.

good luck
