Really bad nitrogen toxicity?

Hi guys, my plant has been looking extremely sad lately and I have come to the idea that it was nitrogen toxicity causing the leaves to curl up, droop and claw. It has been like this for a while and I'm not real sure what to do, I watered today with only the one bottle of bloom nutrients out of my two par which contains little to no nitrogen and completely left the other bottle out so the plant doesn't get any nitrogen added. I have a gut feeling that the plant is dying and I am really hoping it will recover. What can I do guys? Do I just have to sit and watch it die or is there a fix somehow? pH is around 6-6.5 (I use the liquid tester), plant is on about day 35, lighting is mars hydro 300w led

That Mars is super inefficient, it puts out less light than an equivalent HPS, don't expect happy plants, even if you tick all the other boxes.

Best way to dry soil is to take it somewhere warm with lots of fresh dry air.

They were very happy before this incident. The mars Hydro is fine for what I'm using it for.

Just reduce how often they are watered, Have you checked that they haven't become too rootbound?
That makes it hard for water to drain out.

If the leaves turn yellow and begin dying then it is for sure nitrogen excess, but like the others said dry out your soil first to check that off the list of possible causes.

BML/Fluience make a super efficient led. cobs however are most eficient

Those episar LEDS they use on the Mars and similar setups are old technology, with less light output than an equivalent gas discharge bulb.
