So I started liquid fertilizer for the first time yesterday and i definitely added double the amount of fertilizer to water on accident. Will that kill my plants? Should I wait and see cause they look fine now or do something to fix it.

If you’re worried, you can run water through your pot for a few mins to rinse it out

Excess fertilizer can cause fertilizer burns. Flush thoroughly with water.
