Regular soil meaning from your back yard or .....?
Also what are you currently feeding it?

that's not how a lack of N will reveal itself. Light leafs with dark veins like seen in your picture are an indicator of mag deficiency. If you can you need to get a bottle of Cal/Mag and start giving it when you water per instructions on the bottle. I assume you're using the Fox farm trio for food correct?
Grow Big , Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. I've grown some awesome flowers using those.....however it doesn't surprise me you'd have these issues using basic Home Depot soil and those nutrients.
Thanks I’ll do that hopefully I can fix it and yes tiger bloom is for food. How come I’ve run into issues now and not before

so many variables that can cause issue. It could be as simple as the strain you're growing. I've got several strains going and some are much more finicky than others. Also, why did you start giving the Tiger Bloom now? I don't see a reason to change from vegg nutes in your picture above. I use to use the Grow Big and Big Bloom well into the first part of flower. What is your outdoor season? What month do you start and what month do you normally chop?
Honestly didn’t know that should wait two weeks to feed it the bloom stuff until yesterday and I always have my stuff in moveable pots so I can control the flower time but it’s 87 and sunny here
I’m hoping it’s done by September to cut

So there's no time set for when to feed Bloom nutes. What I meant is I usually wait until flower is visually well under way until I'm just giving vegg nutes. If it were me, judging from your pic above I'd still be using veg nutes. I grow indoor and in green houses. I'm in green house season now which is from march to mid October.
So are you growing this partially indoor and out?
Res indoor out door I’ve always had great stuff this is actully the first time I’ve dealt with this particular problem and have had a decent amount of grows these two plants have visible flowering just not a hole bunch yet but more than a week ago and that’s when I switched to 12/12

Everybody likes to do things their own way. I personally don't stop giving veg nutes until actual flowering is well underway. The Fox Farms nutrient schedule actually says to continue the Grow Big along with the Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom during the first part of flower. I'm not saying that's your problem just sharing that info with you. Your plant is getting ready for its most exhausting part of life. This is why these def problems will show around this time. Get some cal mag or look into feeding with regular epsom salt. It won't fix your leafs that are discoloref now. However it will correct the issue from spreading and getting worse.
I appreciate all your info really love growing and will take in as much info from a pro as possible thanks again

Your welcome I hope it gets all sorted and she turns out to be a monster. Next time you Grow I recommend you look into getting some roots organic 707 soil. It's cheap and you get a huge bag of soil formulated for what your growing.
Good luck and keep us posted

Just like a finger scoop in a 5 gallon bucket works for me. Like a tablespoon or 3. Idk

Well water has one advantage, it's not chlorinated. Beyond that... Hard to say. Couldn't hurt to check, but don't panic if it's like ~9...
