Beginning of week 5 of flower

How do these look? I ran into so issues early on with a couple plants and while they were bouncing back a couple plants got bigger than I wanted and I feel like one may have a phosphorus def and maybe potassium. So I have a seabird guano extract that's been sitting for about 22hrs now. I also have some langbeinite I can throw in it before I feed. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!

In general, hit the lighter green, hungrier looking plants with a little more nutrients. And the green, happy, well fed looking plants a little less nutrients.

More specifically, pluck a leaf one each plant and taste the juice coming out of the petiole.

If it has a sour, acidic, battery kinda taste use less seabird guano (less N and P) and more Langbienite ( for K and Mag). If there's too much nitrogen around, your plant has to spend time and energy converting it to a usable form. And that means less time making sugars and terpenes. This leads to low brix and whack buds.

If it has a nice sweet taste (High Brix) its cool to get some N and P in there with your K and mag. So use both guano and langbienite. Sweetness means healthy, happy plants.

Look nice. They’ll start wanting more food to keep them dark green but look nice. I grow some pineapple that is always a lighter green though.

I would start always by checking my soil, slurry test to see my ph and ec. Don't wanna just guess and add more making lockup worse if that's the issue. Takes less than 10 minutes to check

Worm cast slurry to fix all in a hurry
Kelp tea mix for that ultra fast fix

My slurry test is reading 6.8ph and ec is 1.6 I top dressed Gaia green 284 and worm castings 2weeks before flower and at day 22 of flower, after I defoliated some. But the only plant really showing issues is about 3 times the size of my other plants. They are in 5gallon pots. If I hadn't bent it down in veg it'd be about 5.5ft tall but instead it's 43in wide and about 3.5ft tall from the top of the pot.. Ive been watering with fish shit, recharge and em-1, one or the other pritty much every week. Last week was the last time I planned on using the recharge..

I'm back with an update. I'm on day 41 of flower now to be exact. Since my last post, I fed the seabird guano tea as mentioned. I also fed a tea with EWC, langbeinite, kelp, oyster shell flour and guano.. Not sure what's going on with these two plants both strains are a Runtz x Platinum Girl Scout Cookies.
