Deficiency? Leaves light green

Morning,

got auto, not sure but I think it’s week 2-3 in to flowering. Soil plant magic mixed with some perlite and ecothrive organic soil enhancer/amendment. Didn’t use any veg nutes only ecothrive compost tea once a week during veg, tho i haven’t used it past two weeks, I admit I’ve neglected this plant a bit. I used plant magic organic bloom for the first time yesterday (bit late I know), recommended is 2-5ml per L of water so I gave her 10ml (2mlx5L of water) ph 6.2. I’ve got organic ph down so every time I gave her water I had amended ph to be around 6.3-6-7. Yesterday before watering she was proper green I mean some of the leaves were bit lighter but I’ve noticed today that the leaves gone significantly lighter green, mostly bottom ones. Next watering I’ll give her tea and then I’ll hit her with nutes again cus I don’t want to give her nutes on the next watering as id rather feed her every second or third watering. What do u recon, I assume this would be some sort of deficiency, think she’s just hungry? Should I hit her with nutes on the next watering perhaps or just stick to my plan and then increase nutes when I’ll be watering after compost tea next time ??? Oh and I gave her ecothrive organic booster once last week, it’s mostly seaweed extract. Thanks.

Tips look burned so it could be over feeding.
They look nice.and dark green. Maybe give them less nutes or even skip a few feedings and see how they ract.

My experience when the lower leafs like that start to yellow a little boost of “N”. Go light, you should see the yellowing stop. Those leafs may end up yellow for the reset of the grow but you’ll stop it from happening to others.
Happy growing

I would say that your plant could use some magnesium and possibly a humidity check, the upper leaves are quite dark green so I think N is plentiful, I think the plant overall looks hungry, maybe stop giving straight water and just give half strength nute feeds between full strength. And can you get your light any closer maybe?

Humidity around 54-56 so should be fine. I’ve increased the light from 40% to 60% I’ll see if it would cause any stress and if not I’d gradually be increasing it to run it at 80-90%. I’ll hit her with feed today. Was gonna do compost tea but I figured I feed her today and then do compost next feed. Tho it should really be done every week and im already two weeks behind with tea. Then if I’d feed her today next watering would be in about three days so not a huge difference, she can wait them three days longer for the tea. U all recon that would make sense ?

btw I’ve increased the light intensity today and since making this thread I’ve fed her once with plain water so todays watering is due so I’m just thinking between compost tea or nutes. Don’t know which to do first cus as I said after today, next watering will be due in about 3-4 days so don’t know werther I should do nutes and then tea on the next one or other way round ?

That’s how she currently looks like:
