Skinny yellow plant

Last week this plant, which had just started flowering, and only this plant started turning yellow with dead leaf tips. Then whole leaves started turning brown and falling off. This is happening mainly to the older fan leaves, but the whole plant is discolored. It was in a ten gl. pot, which felt much heavier than the other pots of the same size, so I figuered that it mustn't be draining as well and the plant was drowning. So I dug a big hole and put her in the ground with some homemade compost chopped into the dirt, and gave her a good watering to flush out any nutes that may have built up. Now it is almost a week later and she looks a little better. As you can see from the pics, not as yellow.
She is now in her second week of flowering and I am concerned that the transplanting might have screwed her up. I looked in the FAQ under plant problems and thought it could be either mag. def. or N def. from the descriptions given. Any practical input or similar experience would be helpfull, because I'm still not sure what the problem was/is. Hopefully someone out there can help me out.

Looks like she's not getting enough...flushing was a good idea. Next time you feed her, give her a bit more she's big and looks like she's a thirsty girl.

If the problem looks like it has gone away with new growth then you should be fine...old growth damage will not go back to normal...best to just cut those dead-dying leaves off.
 
Anybody have any ideas of what might have caused this? So that I can adjust, and it doesn't happen to any of the others.
 
Thank you thats what I needed. Do you think the transplant was a bad idea at this stage?
 
she looks fine actually,as a plant matures,some leaves will turn yellow and fall off.some nutes aint a bad idea,shes hot just like beyonces ass and tatas
 
Thanks for the quick reply. Maybe I'll dig four more holes.
Since I've got you Fdd. Do you ever recycle your soil repeating seasons, or do you start from scratch every year?
 
Quick suggestion, remember that phosphorous since she's begun to flower. Make the ferts gentle if you haven't been giving any to this point. Happy harvesting!
 
I just fed her a high p guano tea yesterday. My first try with guano. We'll see how she responds.
