Would someone be able to help diagnose the problem with my plant

I just watered my plant yesterday. I watered with Fox Farm nutrients at full strength now that I am entering week 1 of flower. I may have added a little to much Fox Farm Big Bloom and I watered the normal amount. This is the first time I have seen anything wrong with the 2 plants so hopefully someone can help me. I just want to know where to go from here to prevent any further damage if there is anything wrong.

I have been following the Fox Farm Feeding Schedule. Up until week 5 of veg I was only doing about half strength on the nutrients. Week 6 of Veg I bumped it up to full strength and everything was still really good, (honestly was blowing my mind how well they were growing). I flipped to flower 2/1/2020 after 24 or so hours of darkness and fed nutes at 6pm once the lights came back on. I watered them a little less then usual a couple days before flower to make the plants starve a bit before feeding nutrients. I accidentally spilled about twice the dosage of the big bloom but I didnt think it would harm the plant at all given how small the NPK amounts are.

I'd cut back on the nutes a bit. Also the Big Bloom is pretty mild so I don't think that caused your issue. Personally I'm not a fan of FF nutes except Big Bloom, but they work well for a lot of people.

When I waited longer than usual to water my plants, the next watering made them take in too much nitrogen - leaves suddenly too dark, claw edges. It resolved itself after the next watering.

Plants were in amended soil with no nutes in the water at all.

My fairly inexpérienced and unscientific advice is to hold off on nutes at the next watering and then resume water with recommended doses of nutes on a normal schedule. Plants will uptake what they need. Drying them out too much could force them to take in more nutrients than they otherwise would.

Thank you for the response. I will def just use regular RO water for the next couple of waterings. Probably wait until 3 or so then feed nutes again being extra careful.
