Too strong of nutrients?

Just to give you the run down. I have an indoor cfl grow. I used soil with perlite and peat. I believe there was no nutrients added to the soil.

Since I started flowering a couple days ago, I bought blooming nutrients with the n-p-k of 10-30-20. Is this too strong for the lady's since the soil didnt have nutes to start off with? My first set of leaves are turning yellow, but im not so worried about that. Any feedback will be helpful. Thanks...

if they are turning yellow it is usually a few things, but since u arent using nutes, its probably a nitrogen def, and u should correct that asap. but start off with 1/4 strength when u use ur nutes and work ur way up, idk how much it will help now that ur flowering, but i know thats what u do in veg, gl tho

Did you feed it any of the bloom nutes yet? If not... then maybe the yellowing is a deficiency. Maybe you need to feed the plant/s (if you haven't done so already). If you HAVE fed em and then the yellowing started afterwards, the nutes could be too strong for it. Either way, next time you feed em, start of with 1/3 to 1/2 strength.

Yea I already fed them once, but the yellowing started before hand.

I was basically wondering what the yellow was, and if the n-p-k was too high since the soil doesnt have nutes and I didnt use any during veg?!
