Need help / how do they look end of 2nd week flower

i need help fellow gardeners. I'm about 7 weeks into my auto flowers, they are outdoors potted in miracle grow, ( yes I know it's not the best but had to work with budget ) mixed with a sheep manure fertilizer. In the last week the leaves started yellowing at the bottom in sets of twos so I know it's making its way up each set. Here is a picture, they are all natural no nutrients. I give them 2 water bottles each of 6.5 pho water never anything else. Approx every 3-4 days the son is hot on them they drink a lot. I have attached 3 photos' again I am a newbie grower and don't know all the tricks so please bare with me. Any tips would be amazing, I guess one last question can a plant that never received nutrients be givin low dose bloom nuts in flower stage 2 weeks In starting week 3 of 8

All responses are greatly appreciated

They are lacking some nitrogen. It's not bad so if you can feed them some N soon they should come back fast. I would start using that bloom nute you got, if it has N. Start with 1/3 strength, feed every 3rd watering.

nearly 2 months old, expect some serious yellowing of them fan leaves, as rarly does a plant fall to bud, completely green like its in veg, avoid these gay pots, as often the drainage is poor and the volume questionable, next auto grow consider a fim, on the second lateral for an extra 1/4-1/3rd more in yield, you have at best another 4-6 weeks to go ...look to your leaves for guidance

Thanks for the response much appreciated, I plan on picking up some first thing in the morning. If they have been watered today is it possible to add more tomorrow with a dose of feed or is that not advised. What would you suggest I get? Thinking of maybe tiger bloom or something else?

I 2nd that those pots are gay.

Hello Vostok, thank you for the reply. I have about 20 holes circled around the bottom of pot and I never water unless they are feeling truly dry. As stated above about nitrogen feed, would you agree? If so what specific feed should I pick up. As you know never been fed nutes before so when feeding how much are we talking in let's say 2 individual 500 ML bottles of water. And feed every water or no? Thanks a lot for the answers

Just noticed thanks hot box for the answer on how often they should be fed. With a bloom feed will they gain more yield rapidly?

Continue as you are, save the cash and blow it on seeds next grow, on harvest look to the rootzone for guidance and be glad you took my advice ..lol really you got to ask ya self why add (N) to a plant with 1x month to go...?

Yield mainly depends on the strain. The bloom nutes you have should have some N in it. As Vos said you shouldn't expect to see all green leaves at harvest. Some are going to yellow and fall off, its normal. You haven't fed them yet so its very likely they are missing some nutes and are starting to take them from its leaves. Keep it simple and slow. You just watered so I would wait 24 or 48 hours (whenever you would normally water them next) and feed them then. Then from that point do water,water,feed. From my experience you have about 30 to 40 days left on them.

So you don't think I should?, I've lost probably 7 leaves in 6 days so I can't quite point what might be the exact problem.

Could you recommend a proper booster I should pick up? I feel the same as to them needing nutes I thought they were eating themselves.

I love being a noob forgiving mistakes are easier to get by with lol. I got the idea you are saying I would be dumb to feed them nutes?

Autos don't need a lot of nutes. Maybe once or twice there whole life cycle. If you don't have any nutes for this grow, just skip them and keep doing what your doing. If your looking to pick up nutes for next time. Foxfarm is great for autos.

Give your autos a low dose ( 1/4 ) of bloom nutes then follow next feeding ( 1/2 strength ) .
These are the weeks for bud building . They are looking pretty good.

BTW your pots are NOT gay , kinda classy . LOL

Haha thanks man, in terms of bloom nutes can you suggest what I should pick up maybe specific brand? Tiger bloom? Fox farm big grow?

You can pick something like the bloom part of a 2 part feed system , like DYNAGRO.
IT IS ONE OF THE EASIEST NUTE LINES TO USE.
Only Grow and Bloom Bottles. PROTEKT is another additive ( silicon ) to strengthen plant as preventative for heat tolerance. Makes branches stronger and requires very little to use.

Thanks bud, I picked up some botanicare pure blend bro bloom formula. My question for you is. If I have 2 litres of water how much nutrients should go into the container I will be splitting the bottle between 2 plants

Unfortunately I am not familiar with that line ( as far as using it myself ) - look online for the feed schedule by the maker. Take into consideration that more never means better. See what the plant can tolerate , even if you get ( very minor tip burn ) this shows that you are actually pretty close in the PPM range that the plants need.

Someone said earlier about the volume of those pots, thats not very roomy.
