Forgive me I have my glasses on so all these words are very blurry. But does this look nitrogen starved? Two Northern Lights plants, both living soil. One is light green! Is it nitrogen? What would help in an organic garden?

Note the nitrogen mobility from lower areas to build up top of the plant

Get it fixed asap


Earthworm casings, soluble kelp is excellent for that stage cause it's nitrogen rich plus amino acids and it's water soluble

On the elemental level calcium nitrate,, magnesium nitrate...IMG_0930.png

Where are you in flower? looks like 3 weeks to me and that usually a sign...to me...that you.....if you were indoors....I'm just winging it for outdoors....cal/mag and again if you were indoors I'd say you didn't give any Epsom salts to your plant in veg and that shows up like your plant at about 3 weeks in......Just read and ignore if its not a viable thought but I throw it out there for you to consider.

Agree it's a combination of mobile nutrients.

I did have some earth worm castings and top dressed it yesterday. I top dressed quite a bit of Craft Blend(Build-a-soil) twice over a couple of weeks and noticed no difference. Hopefully the worm castings help. I have some bloom booster from build a soil also but the only nitrogen type stuff I have is worm castings.

When this happens to me, I give the plant a good top dressing of worm castings and mushroom compost.

Hey, I don't think there's any recovery to be had,. At this point just feed until the end as you would anyways and try to prevent it in the future if you know what caused it. I think its a mag issue because if I don't add Epsom salts through veg I get what you have starting around week 3 in flower 1 tsp/gal does it for me.

Most people switch to bloom fertilizer when they start flowering, and the plants needs more N than the bloom fertilizer supplies. I typically stat with grow fertilizer for 2 weeks, then use a 50/50 combo of grow and bloom before switching to all bloom around week 5 in flowering. This way N stays in good supply well into flowering............
