def not the best, but one of the best from mg...i've used it with no major issues
now you're just strokin my ego
you're a week into flower right??
i'd hit em with a dose of what you have to boost up the nitrogen and fix that yellowing.... after that, you need to get you some bloom nutes.. (little to no N; higer p&k).... you'll be fine
I just watered them this morning with the nutes and now the tips of all the leaves are curling down. Is that normal? What is the cheapest thing I could use to flower?

depends on what you mean by curling down.... if you just did it this morning, i would wager that the plant is just drooping a little... they tend to do that after a heavy watering...
there are plenty of cheap nutes for flowering... cant really tell you an exact one... all depends on what store you go to and what they carry in stock...

i have yet to find a definitive answer on what the best ratio is.... but i use something 0-1-2 (not exact numbers, just that ratio) and supplement a little nitrogen occassionally if neccessary

GoGrow is totally on with this one...
Without proper potassium and phosphorus levels nitrogen won't get used... The plant is starving.
If it were to produce yellow edged leaves at the top of the plant, that's a nute burn.
The leaves near the bottom that are completely yellowed can be removed, they won't get better, and they have little to no chlorophyl left in them... They're useless and prohibit growth to the top.
From the looks of the pics, they're droopy like they're thirsty...
When you water, you wanna make sure you give them enough for some drainage out the bottom of the pot... Then wait until the pot is light before watering again.
Sticking your finger in it only tells you the surface moisture, it may be mud further down.
Lift the container to see if it needs watered, it'll be featherlight when it's ready for water... And heavy as hell after watering.
If this is too hard, you can get a moisture meter (probe) for like 5 bucks at wally-mart.
You'll want a good all around fertillizer with higher PK ratios for blooming... I'm not sure of what MG is the best, but my father used MG for acid loving plants (formerly Miracid) it's lable says 30-10-10 which is more for grow than bloom... If you can find one that's 10-10-10 it'll work, but a 5-10-15, is the best ratio (like gogrow said)
