can't figure this out

Hello farmers,
I have some concerns about one of my plants. The top leaves are droopy and turning yellow. To me, looks light lack of water. I am watering thoroughly every 2 days, but it doesn't seem to be getting better.

Any insight would be a big help. The plant is roughly 6'6" tall and 7' wide.
It is grown organically with cow manure, using blood meal early and bone meal and wood ashe for potassium for flowering. This has worked with great success on previous grows and this is the first time I've ever seen this issue.

Any insight or wisdom is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.20160901_162520.jpg20160901_162451.jpg20160901_162443.jpg

I dont think nitrogen is the problem. In one of my pictures you can see my other plant behind the one in question. Very green and healthy.
I have added bloodmeal which is basically all nitrogen as is the manure it is planted in. I thought nitrogen deficiency shows up from the bottom up....maybe Im wrong. This is from the top down.

It has been a very dry summer where I am, that is what made me suspect lack of water.

You just need to feed them something high in nitrogen that's quick release. I understand you are going organic so for something that will help if you don't want to use fertilizer, try coffee grounds, aged chicken manure, etc. The best thing you can do would be to throw a nitrogen rich tea together with grass clippings and coffee grounds in a five gallon bucket, then fill to the top with water. Let it stand somewhere outside for at least a few days, then use accordingly.They look plenty hydrated so I don't believe you have a problem with watering..that's classic nitrogen deficiency. Most likely the manure and other additives you used have broken down too far and the girls just need a booster.

They look pretty amazing aside from that though, great job! :clap:
