You need more nitrogen and less P and K unless the strain specifically likes it.
What strain are you running? What kind of soil mix are you using? What amendments to the soil?
Too many variables you aren't giving us to give you a likely solution.
Terry is correct that the bloom food is not best for early growth.

are you using the FF trio and schedule? at what rate do you normally feed..1/2 of label?
your sweet spot for soil is 6.5, if you don't, you won't have nutrient availability.
with 7.2, you miss out on everything but K, cal, & Mg..were you just referencing your water's ph?

yeah, because if his ph has been high he's not getting anything but K.
I checked soil ph
the soil is a organic flower mix just checked my soul ph and it's at about 6.8 I try not to feed till they are a little bigger but they started turning yellow quick I have some mg that's high in nitrogen it's made for roses but I will try that will they come back or will all the yellow leaves die?? Only my second grow and the first time the only problems I had where mites

Checking the pH is not the same thing as giving the proper amount of nutrients. They need to get some nitrogen, but don't overdo it with the rose ferts.

You are on wrong feed , veg stage are nitrogen specific . FF feeding schedule is something to use as a guide with reduced feed recommended ( 1/4 to half strength ) . Tiger Bloom is used later after the plants veg stage is being changed over to flower ( around week 4 ) .
Plant is stressed but if you stop that feeding and give some time to recover before going into your nute feeds. I would water only for at least a week so it self clears the problem. But ONLY water when dry. Or maybe a careful flush after a couple of days.

i was just gonna say but given he is new-new, we should tell him how to get there..boys have a hard time admitting their "newness".
i used to use the trio and add-on's.
soil ph is to understand nutrient availability:
ph your water only (after you've added nutes) don't worry about soil or runoff (you'll never get both to match and it's like a cat chasing it's tail). so above you can clearly see why 6.5 on soil is optimum availability for each nutrient value. an inexpensive way for ph up (baking soda) ph down (lemon juice). if you are not adding nutes to the water (every other water is just water), then all you have to do is ph down from your 7.2 to 6.5 with lemon juice.
as for FF line-up and how to feed..you should be into 'big bloom' and 'grow big' (6-4-4) by now (week 2) you are missing the N..also FF is highly acidic as is their soil so 1/2-1/4 of label:
you may want to print or save these charts.
let me know if you have any other questions.
