Nitrogen Toxicity

So I'm 100% positive that I have a Nitrogen toxicity, it just can't be anything else. I used fucking miracle gro for some reason I don't know why! Its terrible NEVER USE MIRACLE GRO SERIOUSLY IT SUCKS!!!!
But anyways I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of it without having to flush as fucking miracle gro will just burn my plant even more if I add more water to it.
Btw i only used HALF the small scoop (less than a teaspoon!) for my plant and it is still burning and being intoxicated by Nitrogen! I have already transplanted once because a spider plant her egg sac in my soil and I didn't want a shit ton of little spiders running around my house. I have enough spiders any more of those little fucks and I think I'd go crazy hah. My plant is about a foot and a half tall and almost 2 months old.
Is the only way to get rid of this bullshit to transplant to clean soil? Its been a week since I added the nutrients.
Thanks for the help.

pics please. but no all you can do is flush. normally 2x the container (3gal pot 6 gal water) but you may want to do more as your gonna have to try to get rid of the time released shit

You shouldn't really flush soil...it only makes all the issues worse...for real...
It won't help, and will only cause more issue...
It should be fine, but if you see the leaves starting to droop a good bit, then just pull off the larger leaves if it has any left...

The best thing for overfertilization with nitrogen is to let the soil dry totally and then water til you have a good bit of runoff, then let the soil dry all the way out again, and then water with a good bit of runoff...so on and so forth, til the plants look better.

You don't have a nitrogen overdose as far as I can see...too much nitrogen makes leaves, especially the bottom and older leaves curl and burn...you don't have any of that, so just leave it alone and It might be alright...
Most people new to growing just love MJ to DEATH...lol. So don't worry over every little splotch and what not...and really put some effort and thought into getting some HiD lights...it is amazing the difference between growing with CFLs.

The plant looks good, but you just need to remember that these plants are happier with way less attention and what not than we give them...If you can forget about the plants every once in a while and make them go just a little too long without water every once in awhile they will thrive.

and btw thats what she looked like prior to transplanting nothing has changed so far!
Why do I always make such impatient rash decisions...its a terrible trait to be a grower
And this is my first grow of sour diesel seeds I got from a friend.

The leaves were curling and burning i guess you can't see in the pick but i 100% know it was a nitrogen toxicity...trust me on this as I've grown tomatoes and the same shit happened. THey are similar right? lol

Everything you do with these plants is better and healthier for the plant to be underdone, than over...
too much water will kill it...too little water and it will struggle...
Too much plant food will kill it...too little plant food, and again the struggle...
But a struggling plant yields way way way way astronomically more than a dead plant...lol

All plants are pretty similar in the signs of certain deficiencies...
I use a chart of corn deficiencies sometimes...

and all plants have the same signs of nitrogen toxicity....It is just harder to overdose some plants.

Oh and I had been on a 3 day water schedule and sometimes I'd forget or not be home to water it so I haven't been over watering and compared to other peoples first grows and regular grows I feel like I've been doing an amazing job haha nothing has really gone wrong except for me being a total idiot just now! I bought a 100 watt HiD metal halide lamp yesterday but nobody sells the fucking ballast. I was walking around home depot for hours looking for an m90 ballast! I have no access to a credit card or a pay pal because I just get payed in cash like I'm working for the freaking mafia. and fuck banks all they do is take your money and lose it.

Thsank you for your advice I really appreciate it. She seems to be doing very well I gave her a bit of water to dampen the dry soil.
If she survives theres at least one benefit I'll get from this...she needs a MUCH bigger pot haha the roots were cramped up in the previous soil. It was as if there wasnt even any soil lol it was all just roots. I figure i only got about half of them in the transplant

I use miracle gro and it works just fine.....you should always start off at 1/4 strength and work your way up with ANY nutes just so you get a feel for how powerful they are.
