Two weeks ago on a sunday flushed the pot that holds a 4-5ft outdoor sativa dominant plant, topped 3 times like:

which seems to have foliage at the top two Vs (looks much like a tree due to yellowing dropping leaves in the past - either low light as in no need for heaps of leaves, or nitrogen deficiencies) and recieves about 4-5 hours direct sunlight per day.
Pot was flushed because it is showing pistils and changed to bloom nutes. So after flushed i gave full strength "manutec" 6.2-14.6-16.something bloom booster and a slight amount of epsom salts and chucked some crushed egg shells into the soil. On the Tuesday fed full strength charlie carp 9-2-6 fish emulsion because bottom leaves were showing signs of n deficiency. All top leaves seemed to get a little bit darker but still very healthy, and lots of new growth at the top appeared (growing taller with lots of side branches like flower feeders or watever coming out at the tops). Problem is very bottom leaves kept turning pale yellow, eventually dropping off. The large fan leaves above them (about 3-4 on the same sort of level on different stems) began to turn light green and i just know they will turn yellow.
So the sunday just gone fed with full strength bloom booster again (as directed once weekly) and in the watering can also gave it 1/5 of charlie carp (one capful in 5 litres). Yesterday on tuesday i gave full strength (one capful to one litre where as the full strength i gave last tuesday was 3 capfuls to three litres so same ratio) to correct these bottom leaves that are pale green (one of them is yellow now) are getting slightly worse, so these hits of nitrogen arent correcting anything. I dont want to go harder on the N because its like 2 weeks into flowering still only showing minimal pistils.. maybe N has delayed flowering because other plant is quite a bit more developed but people have said its more genetic or what ever.
So these leaves are presenting exactly like a N deficiency.. not intervienal chlorosis but the leaf and leaf stem turns pale yellow and drops off.
Could this be that plant only needs certain amount of light due to not much direct sun (i doubt it)???? Could it be that the soil has slightly poor drainage, or that the pot is always in shade (its in a green house) and a week after watering the soil is still damp??
Cant be any other deficiency besides N due to bloom booster....
thanks for any replies
