Decision - should I cut her down??

Trying to decide whether or not to cut down one of my plants or transplant... I am definately inexperienced, so I'd like some opinions.

I posted pics in https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/460473-help-first-grow-looks-like.html.

My third plant is seriously struggling now and I'm not convinced that I have enough time for her to recover, whether I increase nutes or transplant into a larger pot (would this do any good 6 weeks into flowering???) When I went to take soil for pH testing, which I suppose I should have done way earlier, I could barely remove any soil due to the roots - could this be the problem??

either way, a week or so ago I borrwed a small nug from a spot that looked as though it was on it's way to the underworld. Let me tell you - my wife and I were surprised at how ripped we got off the small joint I rolled, which makes me think it may be OK to cut this one down and try to save the other 2.
 
Post some new pics, I tried helping you out on your last post.

Yeah, you need more N. Usually N starts from the bottom up, but if you examine the plant you can tell that its effecting one of the higher nug's bottom fan leaves. It probably feeds the plant nitrogren in sections during the flowering phase, bottom foot is the first section, second foot is the second section, ect. It could also be a micro nutrient problem, but more then likely a N deficiency.
 
And seriously - thank you for the reply!! Need some definite advice here!

new pics posted (not sure why thy are rotating) - now it seems that on one plant, new growth towards the bottom of the plant is doing OK, while the top is pretty much toast. Only one plant seems to be doing ok - ironically, it's the one plant that snapped in half during a thunderstorm.

she hungry, the plant looks healthy at the very top cuz its eating.... eating the lower leaves nutrients. its N deficiency; old/lower leaves yellowing and dieing, plant is lime green, yellowing will climb up theplant. what fertilizer do you have? any brand will do. feed every other watering with something in the area of 10-10-10(half strength)

spot on there mate...
 
in fact i can tell from the pic she still has alot of white pistils, I bet shes gonna keep on chugging for like two more weeks then swell up in the third, if yuh take care of that deficiency now
 
Do you think cutting this plant mid-way would be beneficial to the lower buds? It doesn't seem that there's much activity going on up top anymore...

was using 10-15-10 and recently switched to 28-10-10.. problem is I have been missing feedings, since it seems to ONLY rain on days that I plan to feed. I will say to myself "perfect - time to feed, hopefully this fert will take care of the problem" and then BAM - 3 days of rain. It's been happening quite frequently that I plan to go feed and then it rains... so I just hold off in worries of over watering.
 
Well - I finally got in there to take a closer look at the plant... can't believe it took this long, but I realized the back of the plant had serious stem issues - it was dried out and crispy on the back side, which is why I didn't notice it until now! Looks like where a fan leave was previously attached - is this stem stem rot?

Long story short - I decided to cut it and take whatever buds I could before they withered away on the plant.

should still be decent smoke though, since I took a small bud over a week ago and got pretty ripped.
