Thats where you goof … that feed schedule is just a “ guide “ - besides those numbers are ridiculously high.
You should always go by your plant’s response to a feed - Fox Farm nutrients are notoriously concentrated and often salt up a medium fast especially at those listed ppm amounts. That may also be an issue of over fertilization with your plants .
You will find things much easier with just the Fox Farm soil ( as it is already nute packed ) instead of throwing multiple bottles of this and that from the manufacturer.
Stop going by their feed schedule .
Use a range that is more controlled.
I started with big bloom is what I mean for the first month because the soil had so much nitrogen already waited a month then used grow big do you think using tiger bloom would be too early because it isn’t flowering yet

Is the soil packed like after you water is the pot super heavy like it should be or is it still semi light? It looks really thirsty and hungry. Im willing to bet that your soil maybe dried out too much in between waterings and compact, so now when you water it may just be going out the sides of the grow bag and not in the actual core of the pot so if you scratch down a few inches in the center of the pot itll be dry. I had this happen before. If your pot is heavy and you are watering properly with proper runnoff then like some others have said just give it some time now. Grow Big usually takes a day or two and the plant should get greener. Also dont forget calcium and magnesium that will also make the leaves greener.

As I said, I think you're better off following the chart and using the trio, after plain water.
Whether you choose full strength is up to you. I think you'd be better starting at about half. And, if the plant likes it, you can increase EC to whatever after.
You know I hadn’t thought about this either I’ll set check that out thanks for the help there is so many factors to consider.
