Nute Burn? Options/Suggestions?

Hi all. 2nd auto run. Day 16 and I ran into a problem. Never transplanted. In 3g pots. Wife accidentally top dressed last night with Dr Earth 50/50 of home grown and flower girl. 1 of 7 plants looks to be burning. Was already looking like a possible burn prior to yesterday's top dressing.

Should I gently remove 1 to 2 inches from the top asap then bottom water the fabric pots? Would eliminate the further release of top dressed nutes. It would also force the roots to grow deeper in search of water? Open to suggestions.
Soil:
50% FFOF
25% promix
25% perlite

Light:
Mars fce4800

Temp 75f and RH 65%

I'm guessing this is not the 1st time they have been fed. They didn't need food yet and there is no need for flower girl bloom food in veg.
If it was my plant, I'd gently try to remove some of the fertilizer on top and if necessary, replace what was removed with some fresh soil, then I would just continue with water only for at least a couple of weeks. I wouldn't flush. Good Luck!

That's good. I was going by the slightly burned tips on the older leaves. Might be from the light being close or heat earlier in the grow but the new growth on top looks great so they should do well with water only for a while. When you're ready to flip to flower hold off on the bloom food. If it was me at flip, I'd top dress with a balanced fert, something like 4-4-4 or in that range. Bio Live is popular here among organic growers. DTE Bio Live 5-4-2. I like to use less than others. For 3 gallon pots I would use about 2 1/2 TBL and then go water only for about 3 weeks.

I should add that I will add earth worm castings whenever I feed the plant.

I wouldn't if I was the op. Looks like they're getting plenty of N as is.
