Dial back your grow big to half strength..... Later when you use the Tiger bloom start at quarter strength ....The Big Bloom is the only organic and can be used as directed..... I still use Big Bloom during flower.
I start Grow Big at quarter strength and usually move up to half strength depending on the strain.
When you get into flower you'll drop the Grow big altogether obviously. Beginning of flower i use to give GB and TB at the same time....for a few weeks....but only at half recommended strength....then Id drop the GB obviously.
I grew lots of great smoke with those three nutes.....hope that helps.
Just remember to start at quarter strength with the GB next time. Nute companies want you to use lots so you have to buy more.....GL

I forget what the recommended dose of the GB is. But I always start with quarter strength and work my way up to a bit under the suggested general feeding amount. I used that trio for years and years starting out. I used FFOF soil for many many years. I switched to RO707 last year because I was getting shitty batches and issues with FFOF.

you don't have any clawing, your leaves aren't too dark green. i wouldn't be too concerned about that. if it continues or gets worse, cut back on the feed about 10-15%.
i'd also get some run off at least every third time i watered, to keep salts from building up in your pots and burning your roots.

Was this photo taken close to lights on time? otherwise, I'd be worried it looks a little hungry.
There is a large contrast between the new and old growth.

Just that new growth looks that way for a bit..... Here's some I recently hit a bit hard by accident early on((my fault)) I know what happened.... But check out the new growth/tops ....they're lighter than the rest of the plant. These particular plants I burnt .....that new/virgin growth always looks a bit light for the first bit IMO/experience.
Point being those plants don't need more food. Not trying to be an ass Roger ....just my opinion ....and like assholes, we all have one.

Those are my babies. It won't be long at all until yours are that size. I personally enjoy my green house grows mostly. My little experimental gardens are my real favorite. Playing with new strains training etc etc. I like getting away from the cookie cutter ((Green houses)) and enjoying our hobby. I start getting excited at the 10ft mark
But I respect any grower regardless of their style or set up.

300 Watts led for a 4x4 tent? Your watts per square foot is extremely low. I used to grow with LEDs and they work but if you want a better end product then get a 600 watt HPS, which will be fine in a 4x4 tent. In the last 2-3 weeks of flower supplement with the LED. You’ll get quality results.
Other than that, your plants look great!

I’m not sure what you’re asking - are you trying to boost your watts per square meter for now?
