  2. Why all the additives?
    You've probably burnt your plant.
    If you are a new grower, you should keep it simple. When you have some experience, then start experimenting, and with only one additive at a time.
    Your pH is too low for starters, it should be between pH6.3 and pH6.8, preferably pH6.5. Think of it, when your soil dries out, you pH levels gets very low from the concentraded nutrients thats still in the soil. I gaurantee if you took a run off reading it will be in the very low pH5's. Infact it will probably be much lower with all those additives.
    Its hard to say without actually looking at your plant, but from the info you just gave, and if you have good drainage, i'd flush the plant, let it dry out and just use the FFOF, and hope for the best.
