Yo.
Welcome.
What's the >>lights on<< temp of your area?
I'm fairly sure BB soil mixes have their Pre mix in em....and if that is the case you may have overfed them with the latest watering/addition of fertilizer.
Go back to what you were doing....water with plain water and let your eyes be the judge (from here on out) if backing off makes a difference or not.

Welcome to Green Passion buster plese stop by and introduce yourself to the rest of the community.
I would agree with WW it sure seems like the reaction to the new nutes you gave them.
Post up some pics so we can have a good look at your grow.

Usually it is a good safe bet to wait till the leaves are alternating before adding nutes. If they get to look like they are really going to croak on you, flush them with three times the water as the size of pot. It will clear out any over fertilizing and they will be fine. I usually use 1/4 of the dose the maker of the nutes recommend to start.
Pics would help.
Welcome to GreenPassion!
Peace

yeah... it is more than likely the first stage of nute burn... start off with 1/4 or less then the recomended amount of nutes... then work your way up 1/4 1/2 3/4 then full... hope this helps

I personally would give them my usual amount of water and then see what they do BEFORE trying a flush with the soil mix you used. (Biobizz).
I say this with the thinking that the Pre-mix compost in that soil may only (will likely!) release more nutes if you saturate it heavily.
FYI to anyone out there using soil/Sunshine mix/etc...this product (Pre-Mix) is a very clean (no sand/debris) compost mix that is a great top dress or additon to the planting mix. BELIEVE what they say about feedings and don't be tempted to "add more to make em grow faster". This is a slow release package that will make yer plants go nutzoid.... (add some mycorrihzae and BAM...)
good luck w/yer plants buster

Good to hear. Temp is OK....
Let em ease in. The soil will carry them over for a bit...and when you see them take a good jump in size start applying the nutes
have fun

Also, how far are your plants from the lights, and what wattage are you using? Sorry if I missed where you posted this info. GL HH
