How much are you using 1 teaspoon per gallon or two?1 teaspoon is only about 450 PPM.

You are right man it says regular feeding is 2-3 teaspoons per gallon.I know something for sure,when I started using it around 10 years ago the normal dose was a teaspoon per gallon.I havent read the directions in ages

I mix 3, sometimes 4 depending how much I spill,lol. But I Just started with the Cha-Ching so I might go down to 1 of tiger bloom and 1/4 or 1/2 Cha-Ching.

It all depends really. For my indicas i found they can take full dose tiger bloom 3tsp per gal. Now when i add it beastie bloomz, that drops to 2 tsp per gallon.For my sativas 1sp per gallon is thats used anymore than that was scorching them.

May I suggest that you ignore the directions on the package and use the Fox Farms soil feed schedule found here - http://www.foxfarmfertilizer.com/soilfeed.pdf

I have followed this loyally and have never had a serious issue that wasn't my fault. All of my burns were caused my accidentally feeding twice in a row rather than plain water.

The schedule calls for 2 tsp/gal in flower.

Hm, not saying you're wrong, but in my experience, I've never burnt my plants by starting with 2 tsp/gal of tiger bloom once my lights go to 12/12

I've burned several plants by doing this...mostly sativa dominant strains...indicas seem to take a bit more TB. I like to play it safe if I haven't dialed in that specific strain/pheno.
 
i rock 2 tsps tiger bloom and 1 tbl of big bloom

i have done half strength in the beg a few times just in fear of burning but ive got nothing to really base it on just would rather be safe than sorry

that is probably true about the sativa and indica... the plants i did burn when i did were sat dom.. good point.. Yea im in the better safe than sorry category.. Id rather work my way there than BAM throw down what the bottle says then be goin if i woulda, shoulda, coulda... peace n pufs.

I actually follow a mix of what the bottles say and i've never had any trouble with burning plants... perhaps u aren't using ph up after adding tiger bloom? I use 3 teaspoons of tiger bloom, 4tablespoons, and half teaspoon per gallon and i have never experienced any nute burn and i also add b=52, scorpion juice and various other additives periodically as well.. here's a few pics of some flowers fed on this regiment.. oh yea and i add ph up until i get to 6.8.. i've found that the ph can drop as low as 4.8 when using tiger bloom and not ammending for it in the ph

Every plant is different, not once did my Headbands that I got going now miss a feeding, every watering they got fed full strength everything, Big bloom, tiger, beastie, and open sesame. Now I just do a 2 week flush before harvest, plants showed no signs of not liking it. I go by what my plants are telling me, if they're looking like they just still want to green up and get fatter, i feed em, at some point you can tell they max out, then it's just water.
