The biggest mistake indoor growers make is failing to provide adequate ventilation and air movement in the grow space. Remember, plants are genetically designed to live outdoors, under the sun, getting knock around by wind. Airflow is so important. Get a fan, not real big but about 10 inches in diameter. Put it low, preferable an oscillating type, and get low temp air in and high temp air out. Also, let soil dry out and easy on such a high ratio fert.
Thanks for the response. I was always giving pretty low doses of ferts maybe 1/2 to 1/3 of the recommended doses. And since I was watering pretty much once a week it was only getting low doses once every 2 weeks. I was under the impression it was maybe not enough... But then again Im the beginner so I'm not really sure of anything haha..

About the fan...There isnt really space within the box I'm growing in because its so small...I was thinking of getting a little 5 inch fan that I can install into the side of the box. I read that it if you're only going to install one fan that put it up high blowing out to get rid of the hot air and then just have a hole a little bigger than the size of the fan on the bottom to suck cool air in.. Does this sound like a decent plan or would I need 2 fans?

thanks again
