I know that some of these questions can be answered by reading the FAQs. But some of the info I have been reading regarding fertilizing and what to do for over fertilizing is conflicting. Makes it hard for a newbie to differentiate right & wrong when troubleshooting! I would like expert opinions...

I gave my outdoor plants Fox Farm Big Bloom & Grow Big for the first time 2 days ago. They are in vegetative state, and I gave the fertilizer exactly as directed on the bottle. I even read the feeding schedule, and read info on the website, just to be sure I was doing it properly. The next day they were lighter green in color, and the very tips of the leaves (not the entire edge, just tips) were yellow/burnt looking. I don't think it was heat damage, as it was only a high of 65 degrees yesterday.
I am guessing they didn't take too well to the nutes... The only thing I can think of is that perhaps I watered too close to the stalk..?
Should I give the nutes another shot next time they're due, just at a lower concentration? Or should I get different nutes?
Also, should I water them again to dilute the nutes in the soil? I am afraid of over watering them...
Any help is appreciated. Happy growing
