Hey guys, I am having more problems with growing... This is a sensi star that I have been growing for about 3 weeks from seed. It was doing ver well I think under my 430w HPS bulb. I was giving it water and the General Organics Bio Weed (0.2-0-0.3). Around the beginning of the third week I gave it some of the General Organics Bio Thrive (4-3-3). The plant didn't respond well to it and I think burned a little, so I flushed it with three times the volume of the container. This is the plant about a day and a bit after flushing and the leaves are curling and starting to yellow. I think that this is nitrogen deficiency but I want a second opinion. The soil is Promix Premier for containers and the water and nutes have been pH balanced to around 6.6. I had a similar problem with my other two plants and I sprinkled some coffee grinds on top of the soil to try and fix the nitrogen deficiency I think it worked but it didn't work awesomely. So my questions are: Is this nitrogen deficiency and if it is, how should I fix it? Should I go out and add some blood meal to raise the N in the soil?
My theory is that the solution is simply too strong for the plants and that when I feed them, the roots must be getting locked out of the nitrogen by the rest of the solution. Does this sound like a reasonable explanation? Since the problem with the other two plants also started when I started giving them the Bio Thrive. Thanks for the help guys.
PS: The new growth looks alright, but I do know that it is spreading from the bottom up just like last time.
First pic is Nuteburn? (Can anyone confirm this?)
Second is overall view
This is the curling leaves and yellowing
Fourth is a view of the new growth
Fifth is showing the purple stems of the branches (Should I be worried about this?)
