Yellow edges, what nutrients do I need to supply

Hey everyone, brand new to rollitup. For the last couple years I've used this site for various help on my babies.
This year I used some crappy bag seeds I got out of some alright bud. I made the grave mistake of not using my own organic made soil but instead just threw them in the ground.
I have not used any nutrients of any kind so far and I'm about 2-3 weeks into flower now. The girls are outdoors in various locations.
The tips are yellowing and the veins are green still. They aren't rapidly turning yellow, in fact it may have stopped but I'm just wondering what or if I should do anything?
P.s I know they are small and in very terrible shape. Don't judge me too much I'm somewhat new to this and I love the whole process but next year I'm definitely going to be using super soil.

ive seen that defecience before just forgot at the moment when i get home from work ill look through my notes and let u know something. it def needs some nitrogen id get some kelp meal 9.00$-wal-mart, epsoma bloom booster $5.00-wal-mart and unsulphered molasses $3.00 walmart....if you can fork out 17.00 plus tax i'd recommend that..for first soil drench i'd use the the kelp meal tea, bloom booster and unsulphered molasses then every two weeks hit it with a bloom booster & unsulphered molasses mix..... if you dont know about kelp meal tea look it up. its not gonna be a monster when she is done but she should definately look 10x better a yeild more than just letting her grow out also....i know you said she was small but that still looks like a veg plant size haha but hey u win some you lose some it wouldnt be life without learning what not to do first

off my notes you have a potassium problem and maybe but probably not zinc based off provided pics zinc because the over all appearence is dull and potassium because yellowing of leaves but viens remained green, what i mean bout the zinc is look at the top half of yours and look at my cluster, mine just pops where as yours is fuzzy/dull im hopin im wrong bout zinc and could be fixed with kelp tea and bloom booster, because ive never had a zinc problem. i would love to see more of your plant as time goes by...what are your previous harvest amounts lbs/plant.

looks like they're in bad soil. for a cheap solution, you can get Schultz brand fert or something similar, follow the directions on the back, don't give too much of it over time, and see what happens. I think you're needing more nitrogen.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I actually just bought some Schultz bloom plus npk ratio of 10-54-10. I used a half teaspoon of that per gallon of water and watered the girls that tonight. It just rained a bit too so they are looking pretty perky. ;)
As far as harvest weight, I've grown two crops before but both were stolen right before harvests. I was looking around a qp per plant and I had about ten of those. They were bubba kush and some kind of mango strain that my buddy had given me a decent amount of seeds. So yeah no successful harvest yet, but my patch this year is really discreet and no one knows about it. So fingers crossed.
Yeah I was dumb and didn't put my own soil in the ground and on top of it didn't use any nutrients until now. Lol. I was very busy this year and just kinda let them go on their own. All I've done is made sure there were no males.
Here's some pics from tonight. I found a really really frosty bud on one of the pretty small plants so I'm kind of hopeful the nutrients will help.
The first picture is of the super frosty bud I found. It's pretty small but the aroma and look of it are overwhelming. The second picture is the main cola on what is probably my biggest one. It's pretty frosty and smells nice but doesn't compare to the first in trichomes.

good lord that first pic looks like you finely chopped glass and sprinkled it on i like that ... the good thing about your harvest this go round is you might not have/get massive buds but the buds you do have will be be packed with every bit of the thc limit that your genetics will allow. and 10-54-10 might be too much but then again ive never tried either, hope it works flawlessly. and i remember when i had qp plant i thought i had a lot, now im pulling 1-2 lbs cant wait till i get up to round 5 lbs per plant or up.. where im at i get one plant a year maybe two if im lucky so i have to make it work to my advantage hell if mine dies im fucked.... and speaking of soil i spent 5 months finding my soil for 200 gallon grow this year, i only get tree stumps that have near about rotted all the way down just move whats left of the stump out the way an get the good rich soil that doesnt compact too easy. my plants love it plus mixed with the usual super soil admendments an things, let me tell ya 5 months of walking pure woods gettin a lil here a lil there gets tiring im glad ive got my supersoil set
 
Wow that is an amazing idea with the tree stump. I'm definitely going to be doing that to save a lot of money. Thanks so much for your help. I'd love to see more pictures of your current or past grows man.:eyesmoke:

this one here imma show you because of what it went through last year i gave this to a buddy in a gallon container, i just so happen up on this same plant in a sandpit in the same gallon container, i call to make sure it was the same it was and he gave it back cuz he forgot about it but this plant was grown from thanksgiving to april 10th with it never being any more tall than it was when i got rid of her but the bud off her was to die for.gotta bout a oz after a 10 day dry weight. ill post more of others

this pic was supposed to be in last message but i top only once then bury the whole thing except any node site then let it grow up people say more roots more fruits i just took it and ran with it, one of these days ill figure out exactly how to low stress train her effeciently for what i do but not being able to visit but once every 2 weeks to a month is why it looks like a rough draft

How many sets of leaves do you let her get before you top her

for the size of my plants i bet every bit of my 200 gallon is filled with roots thats why im going 400 next year to see the difference between them. and to answer your question i'd have to say if that plant i showed you earlier could put off a oz in a 1 gallon contain with premium mix in that pot then probably somethin smaller size will be able to pull weight in too...at the smallest i would go is 50 gallon ... if you want more plants with average yeild go for a 50gallon but if you want 1 plant to produce as much or more than all them plants combined then go with atleast 100g preferably atleast 200g. my smart pot was free although it was already laying around too. but t-post cut in half then drove in ground til 2ft tall then wrapped with metal type window screen that was already in a roll , an a tennes net for reinforements just in case.

Haha wow that's gotta be a shit ton of roots. I think I'll start with 50 gallon for now. For me until I can start a completely legal grow, I'm going to grow a few large plants but not as big as you're talking. When i move to Boulder I'll be growing big girls :mrgreen:
