I would suggest getting extra soil. I would amend the soil with the chicken manure, and add some of that 1st. See if the plant greens up.

Nprmally; I would recommend doing this as you re-pot. I believe that a 7g pot is way too big for the phase of the grow you are in. For insatance. If you were in a 3 gallon. You could amend some fresh soil as described, and repot using the new enriched soil around the old root zone. Hope this helps. Good Luck :)

I use organic chicken manure as my number 1 fert (besides compost/EWC). Great stuff and can carry you all the way through veg and flower. Mix with some compost/soil/ewc and let it cook for at least a week or 2.

Although I am a hydro specialist; Throughout the years, i have used every method you can think of; (except coco), and I have used Organic soil with chicken manure, and had some fine potent A+ plants. Just sayin' >)

Quit hatin'. Contribution to another's success is more reward than the finest cured joint! IMO!

chicken manure, or you could even go to starbucks and ask them for a big bag of used coffee grinds. they'll be happy to give it to you in fact some starbucks locations even have special bags that say "COFFEE GRINDS FOR YOUR GARDEN" they love helping out the environment. plus it will have your plant start looking great ("LOTS Of Nitrogen"). and also it will attract worms to your compost pile outdoors if you have it in mud, worms love to eat it. Go Organic!!

Keep in mind. All these recommendations are going to take a little time to dial in. You cannot just take ingredients and add them to soil without some idea of how much to use. It is trial and error. Let us know if you have any more questions.
