Possible Nitrogen Deficiency-Advice Needed

Hi folks
I`m changing my fertilizers at present. I usually use guano imported from the States but for some reason it`s becoming so expensive that it is no longer a viable option so I thought I`d have a look round for UK alternatives, blood and bone, etc. Anyway I`ve got this Critical Kush growing and she`s doing fine but I`m thinking I`ve got nitrogen deficiency coming along. This is possible as I am wary of nute burn whilst changing strengths/ doseages over. Got some pics
Pic 1 shows a Red Diesel and she looks fine, no issue and I use this as a comparison especially as they are being fed the same. Previous Kushes have been lighter on nutes than others I`ve grown so I`m a bit confused here..
Pic 2 shows her same time as I took RD pic but the other 4 pics shows her earlier this morning and I`m thinking that since I`m in closer the camera may be getting a truer picture of colour as she looks lighter to me than the others.
I`m thinking Nitrogen Dificiency but rectifiable as overall she`s in excellent health (2 weeks into flip so got some wiggle room). There`s no watering problems, she gets good all round nutes and additional cal/mag from molasses.
I gave her a slight bit of Peruvian bird guano with some non feed compost tea today to start adding some nitrogen and in 2-3 days there is a proper fungal feed with newly revised nute levels back on track.
It`s an organic grow and want it to stay that way if poss. Any feedback would be gratefully appreciated. Thank you :)

I don't see anything wrong with your girls. You want to cut back on the nitrogen while they are in flowering. Once my girls go to 12/12, they get flowering nutes for the first 4 weeks, the nothing but water and molasses 'till harvest.
 
kingfish Seem to be getting lighter but now I`m just plain doubting...below are 2 pics, one is from a lad called Coinhall09 who is growing the same strain and those leaves look uniformially darker all over and the second pic is the above girl 3 days before and she looks different. Going to have a lie down and forget about this for a bit I think...Thanks Kingfish, really appreciate your thoughts mate (Link to pics https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/219584-critical-kush-grow-report )

When ever I have a Nutes problem, I just give them water for a couple of feedings. That normally sorts itself out.
 
Yeah but I think this is a difficiency kingfish that`s the problem mate. Definitely not over nutes that`s for sure :)
 
Yeah, that`s part of my non feed compost, worm c`s, molasses, seaweed and organic compost brewed for 24hrs. What`s your thoughts on this Californiakid does it look wrong to you?
 
How are u sir. That sounds like a great tea. If thats ur non feed what is ur feed. If u want to add some n add alfalfa to the casting and such . Calikid is right on with the fish i mske my own faa its a great fungal food as well as nitrogen. If u can get ocean fish even better. Ur conditions affect it greatly but i woyld go longer on the tea out to bout 48 hrs. U got some nice lookin plants . Happy gardening
 
Well, thank you everyone...I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions and have taken them on board. Some excellent advice and I appreciate the time you have taken to respond. Cheers guys :)
 
Mainly jamaican bat guano, peruvian seabird guano, organic tomato fertilizer, volcanic dust, phosphate, white hair mold, molasses, seaweed, worm castings and organic compost...that`s the main feed...mold grown for several days then whole lot brews for 3 days :)
 
That`s interesting CK. Do you know if the calmag in molasses would be sufficent or would i need a suppliment? Thanks for this mate
 
PaganRich, morning mate, how's it hanging? I agree ,she is pale looking, but otherwise very nice and healthy.
Epson salt should help her get her color back. Have you got any ?
What about topdressing?
She is gonna be fine, though.
Cheers.
 
I`m still thinking it`s low nitrogen...it just is niggling at the back of my skull. Prob is I have been adjusting my nute receipe and cutting back slightly to avoid nute burn from the heat/ evaporation...I`m wondering if I`ve set my ratio`s too low but then calmag is in the running to. I don`t know. You end up going around so much you end up facing your own back. Need a smoke I`m thinking.
 
I give a lot of molasses and still feel like its not enough sometimes. I found a calcium foliar I am going to try this weekend .
 
Californiakid, I use alot of molasses too, 1or2tablespoons a gallon of water. Especially when they are young.
Lots of people use 1 teaspoon a gallon, but I give mine way more than that.
Never had any problems with molasses either, but it does more than just feed the soil, I know that much.
Cheers
