You just transplanted into Fox Farms Ocean Forest not Ocean Breeze, correct?yes
At time of transplant you fed Fox Farms Grow Big at what rate? Is that the Fox Farms recommended rate?3 cap fulls meaning the cap to the bottle, yeah it was a bit of no thinking but i figured the measurments were close to a tablespoon as i think about it now like homer simpson it says teaspoon on the bottle.i have read the fox farm recomendations and will reply when i have them in sight, im sure you read them i guess you were telling me to refer to them.. my bad
Do you have the Fox Farms feeding charts? If not, you need them. FoxFarm Soil & Fertilizer Company

edit: And how much is a capful?
posted... i appreciate your help to the fullest..
Hi monsta,

Ok, so you think you fed approx. 3 Tablespoons/gal. as opposed to 3 teaspoons/gal? One tablespoon = 3 teaspoons. Therefore, you overfed at 3? times (my math sucks) the stated rate.

You have learned your first lesson in growing MJ, and most plants in general. More does not always = better. But, hopefully you have flushed and solved your problem and your plants will start to reward you for your efforts. :jointsmile:

Growing MJ, indoors, I've found is somewhat like raising a kid. First you have an infant, then a toddler, then a teenager, then hopefully, a decent adult (if you are lucky). You can't feed an infant a steak and expect a good outcome. Babies need only milk, plants need only water in the beginning.

Plants can "sunburn" like we do, if put into strong sun, without being acclimated or protected. When you make changes to a plant's light, do it in stages. This goes for indoor lights and sunlight as well. Any major change in environment needs to be done slowly, or you are going to have a "fussy baby" on your hands. :angelsmiley:

Once a plant has been transplanted once and gains some root mass and size, they are toddlers/small children. You feed a vegetative formula of nutrients for good, all-around growth and nutrition.:hippy:

At the point you put them into flowering, they start to become teenagers. You can't seems to fill them up, they are really packing away the water and the blooming nutrients and growing like mad. They become horrible and unruly, they won't stay in the space you've given to them. They are no longer delicate, they can take some rough handling. :rhinoceros: And, if you don't watch them, they have sex and reproduce/seed all over the place. :wtf:

We all wish to raise one to adulthood, to reap the rewards, don't we? If you stay with this challenge for the long haul, you will be realize more than great bud.
