Could Fox Farm's Big Bloom cause this? Leaves curling/edges are turning light brown

What do you think is causing the nitrogen overload?

My soil is a mix of plain black dirt, cactus soil, and some sand.
I only have used Big Bloom. Nothing else.

Cactus soil is for cactus. Hopefully on your next cycle, you'll be using RUI tested soil mixtures like FF Ocean Forest/LW, Roots, FF Happy Frog/Light Warrior etc for your soil medium.

for starters i would get rid of the CFL and get a strongly vented HPS.

"Could some of these problems have been cause by the inappropriate lighting(Not enough distribution over the entire plant/not powerful enough to absorb the nutrients)?"

think you answered your own question. good luck bro!

HPS/MH will be arriving in August. I will be using Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil for the next grow, Metal Halide for vegging, High Pressure Sodium for flowering as well as a few well placed CFL's, and only minimal organic nutrients. This will be a good setup, correct?

This first grow has turned out to be a disaster thanks to my stupidity, and is very discouraging to say the least. I DO NOT want to repeat these events.

Yea the rec from fox farm besides being a little heavy... Is for 1000hps w/ideal grow conditions. Do the math for your light.. And use it for future light purchases..

I have a feeling that something you used to build your soil contained time release fertilizer. It was not necessarily the Big Bloom, but the addition of BB on top of fert salts that is giving you your problem. Which cactus potting soil did you use. I know for the sure the miracle grow has ferts added.
