Did you use potting soil when you transplanted, or did you keep 'em in the "field-mix"? "Organic" nutrients are a slow-release source of nutrients. Both that you mentioned are high nitrogen additives. You might be burning some stress into 'em. (overdosing with nitrogen)

Yes...organics can burn. And they'll also throw-off your ph, too.
