I'm in the middle of week 3 flowering, 1st grow on my own, using fox farm nutrients.

I have had leaves yellowing for a week now. I went to local hydro shop and they diagnosed the problem as N deficiency and told me said it would correct itself now that the feeding schedule calls for more "Grow Big" (N). I fed as scheduled 3 days ago and yellowing seems to be worse. Yellowing is only on half of the plants. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm using all fox farm nutrients, ocean forest soil, ppm around 850, water ph 6.2, soil is around 6.0, 1000w HPS x2

the fungi have their own smaller roots that incorporate into the plants root system the fungi helps the plant absorb nutrients more efficiently and breaks stuff down for the plant, the plant also releases sugars into the soil, these sugars are part of the symbiotic relationship with beneficial bacteria,

basically great white, is a powder you add to your watering it costs almost 50 bucks for a couple oz.s but it lasts a long time if you use it sparingly, which you can since technically it only should only take one treatment per plant if done as a seedling. overall it improves growth speed, root system, and just overall health of the plant, makes it hardier.

oh yeah the beneficial bacteria are key players in the break down of certain nitrogen salts, forgot to mention that key part, so your girls might have plenty of nutes but just not able to use them all?

great white is a product that assists with the plants ability to absorb nutrients, in the natural world all trees all blades of grass all plants are connected by a giant web of fungi roots, look it up, its not as affective as adding it early on since if it wont already be incorporated into the root system, but your plant cannot break down some of the nutrients it requires without these SYMBIOTIC ORGANISMS, as for wether grow big might be to strong yeah sure, but if you use any beneficial bacteria and fungi combo you will see a hardy plant,

specifically dont dog people for sincerely trying to help, and research you SCIENCE first

I appreciate the help, I'll look up great white. Do you think it could be something other than N deficiency? I'm starting to worry a little, I've been lucky and had no serious problems up until this point and I don't want to loose them at the end.

I just watered 24hrs ago should I wait till there dry again or feed now? This is my fist grow on my own, do you think I will be able to correct this in time?

Also... once the plant takes in the N how soon will I be able to notice a change? Will the yellow leaves change back?
