rain flushing nutrients?

Ok I have a nice little outdoor grow going. My main problem is yellowing of the lower leaves on my auto AK. I'm not sure whether its a nitrogen deficency or a nute burn. But it seems to be spreading up a little bit to other leaves. I've been feeding them earthjuice grow tbsp per gal and superthrive with correct ph'd water once a week. But I'm wondering is the rain washing away a lot of the nutrients I'm putting in the soil? Or maybe I have over nuted them as I have another strain going in bigger buckets that are doing fine and I've been feeding them about the same amount.. I also remember reading autos don't like as many nutes as other strains so maybe I am overdoing the auto AK. Any help would be appreciated as the ak's this is affecting are females. Thanks in advance. I kno pics would help but I have no camera. I'm sure its one or the other though. Also they are in ocean forest soil.

Possibly not enough nutes, sounds the same as my last lil project, but i'd wate on the nutes a while and see if it persists, and if it dose try using nutes again and see what happens if it looks better after adding, it needs more nutes.

if ur feeding earthjuice and the plants are still yellow sounds like u need stronger nutes
 
Its about to storm again here. Should I wait until after the rain comes to try to feed again or go ahead and do it now? Since the rain is probably going to flush a lot of the nutes out?

lol do you know how hard it is to overwater outside esp when planted directly in the ground?
