This is only my opinion. But basic experience has told me that any growing product that has cartoon characters on the bottle or packet aren't really all that. After a couple of years of using Cartoon based products, I discovered that a good quality Tomato feed and a basic compost mix was all you actually needed.

Tell us about your grow. What lights are you using? What medium are you using? What else are you feeding them?

you want the soil to be wet untill it drys to a depth of 1 finger nuckle, well thats what i do.
my 250 takes a while to do this, 400 and 600 are much faster.
you have moist soil by the sounds of it.

what soil mixture are you using? also, a pic would help too to guage the ratio of perlite/vamiculite or whatever you have used to go with your soil

It's just a simple soil mix from a flower shop with coco in and about 30% perlite in.

With the General Hydroponics stuff, make sure you go to the website and look at the current schedules and formulas. They're different from what's on the bottles. They've got aggressive/medium/light feeding schedules and tell you which one fits your circumstance and how much of each of the three parts to use.
