How often?

Every time I water with ff big bloom a leaf or two turn a little yellow on a part of the edge of the leaves. Should I be using a nutrient if my plant looks better when I am just using water? Right now I am using 1 TBLS per gallon of water with the big bloom every other watering. What do you guys think? Stop the nutes or not? Oh and I am also 3 1/2 weeks into flower and am using ff ocean forest soil. Under a 400 Watt hps.

Use less of your nutrient solution and see how she reacts.

Plants grow better with less nutrients than with over fertilizing them.

Yeah you are burning them. Back it off a tad. Each plant/strain can take different ammounts of ferts. Some like 100% ferts like they suggest you use and some can only take 25%-50% of recommended ferts.

are you sure your not talkin about FF Tiger Bloom. its almost not possible to get nute burn from FF Big Bloom....read the bottle the NPK value is 0.01-0.3-0.7....there is barely any nutes in it. Big Bloom alone will not get you through flowering. its only meant to add micro nutrients.... i can almost guarentee you that your plant is not burning from big bloom. i use 2 TBSP per gallon every watering and have never seen any burn...... Tiger Bloom on the other hand is pretty powerful and can give u nute burn if used too much.
