I have a little bit of a nitrogen deficiency on my plants that are almost 4 weeks into flower. I know this is a common problem with plants in flower and I didn't load them up before going 12/12. I am growing in soil and using Fox Farms Bloom Big. I won't ever use these nutes again, but now I'm wondering what I should do to get my nitrogen levels back up?

Should I go ahead and do some feedings with Fox Farms Grow Big to try to correct the problem? I don't know what effects that may have.

Anyone with good suggestions let me know.

Thanks!

hey man!! so, youve got a nitrogen defficiency 4 weeks into flowering correct?? ok, theres actually no need to switch anything you are doing, a nitrogen deficiency is very common in the final phases of flowering, its normal.. some people like to crrect it, others dont..

I had a nitrogen def. as well in the flowering phase...

Its not going to affect your yield or outcome of your buds.... dont waste time trying to fix it and possibly burning your plants, just let it finnish up, youll be happy you did!!!

Yes but severe lockup causes sun leaves to die cutting down yield you need those for the final bulk up

That's the thing. I am losing quite a bit of leaves. I may just leave it be, but if I did want to correct it, any suggestions? I don't really feel like going back to veg nutes is a good idea. They are just starting to pack on a little bit of weight and I don't want them to stop. They are pretty happy little buggers.

this may sound dumb but fingernail clippings are rich in nitrogen.

yes but how long would it take to break down?

you can bump then with 1/4 strength nitrogen along with their regular feeding. i do this in soil with organics.

When in doubt flush then out.After the soil drys start back with your nutrs at that weeks doze of food.Peace

How can I bump the nitrogen? Do you recommend any products for my soil grow w/ organics?

i'm in 6" pots with soil. at about week 4 the green starts to fade. at this point i add about 1/2 tablespoon of mexican bat guano. hope this helps.
