Give it every other watering and see what happens or do it at a lesser strength.

I do , veg , every other water, never over doo the nutes in veg will slow down growth drastically, in flower I feed every time, mine ask for a gallon each, I have the nutes a bit light , so I don't have to stress it, so lighten your nutes up what ppm are you using ? 300 to 350 every day feed. over that every other feed,

Another important thing to remember is that the soil has nutrients in it for the first 3 weeks so. Do not feed for usually 3-4 weeks after putting in the soil. I made the mistake of feeding even 1/4 strength and the tips got burnt. After they are established in a pot I switch between plain pH water and feeding every watering.

I've used FFOF and have noticed they need feeding after about 2 weeks. I use dyna-gro during veg, so I just use the Grow and the Pro-tekt. Pro-tekt is amazing stuff.
