That does look like nute burn. Easy answer's go back to just water for a bit longer, then cut even more when you start adding food again. I've heard Ocean Forest is hot enough for at least a month, if not longer, without adding any nutes. In the mean time, there's not much else to do but wait.

Cheers and good luck!

I use FFOF soil and it will go at least 4 weeks from my experiences. Also it might be a good idea to start off with Big Bloom first- build that up and then try Grow Big at 1/4 strength. Just my opinion from my somewhat limited experience but it has worked for me with no burn at all.
 
thanx what about using fox farms sledgehammer rinse then their boomerang comeback solution thats all thats available in delaware

Agreed... a bit of burn. Just feed proper pH water, and they'll live the long haul.

The ocean forest is hot straight from the bag. I sense that you are going through the classic over-growing phase that most beginners go through. I'm not gonna lie, we are all guilty of it at one point in time. Some of us are still at it! Truth is that plants are often times better off without us:) A plant will speak to you if learn to listen. Start with a good bag soil or custom blend. Water with a properly ph'd dechlorinated water when the soil begins to dry or when fan leaves begin to droop. Do not do anything until the plant tells you that it needs more! When the leaves start to show a lighter color then bring in an organic nitrogen source. You should have plenty of time to learn to brew yourself a nice compost tea before your plants need anything besides water. A member named Canna Tricks put out a nice article on teas a while back. Look it up! Keep asking good questions and before long we will be drooling over your tasty bud pics!
Happy growing

Don't do any nutes, and pH to ~6.5 every three days (or until the pots are completely dry/light).

I do agree with Dgringo in the sense that it is classic newb overgrowing going on. Patience is a virtue; a trait that you will learn :)
