You could just up your veg nutes a bit. But FE is cheap and a readily available source of N along with a whole host of goodies. Works well with other nutes...which ever route you choose I would def get some more N in their diet for a few weeks....

....and fall back on any bloom nutes, IMO. if you check out my sigs ... almost every plant i've grown i've experienced yellowing at this stage of growth ... still trying to perfect the craft. I've noticed any early use of bloom foods will almost guarantee leaf drop, yellowing, and/or other nute defs

Ataxia and Cowboy beat me to it. I see it now, and they are pretty much N starved. An N deficiency shows as clorosis between the veins. I think what you're referring to is nute burn.

Well hopefully, the fish emulsion should arrive in a day or 2. Just worried about giving her too much N during flowering.

If you understood what those fan leafs meant to the overall health of the plant you would be more curious on how to get them the N they need....

Just feed the stuff according to the directions. The FE is 5-1-1, and lets say the Bloom is 3-10-3 (just as an example), then you are feeding an 8-11-4.

Ya mine look like that after about 3 weeks of flowering im assuming its an N deficiency. My last one looked like that after 3 weeks then i fed N it looked good for a week then at week 5 it started eating a bunch again. I wouldnt be shy about using the grow nutes during flower.

Thanks guys,
Still a little unsure of what the best combo would be. I water every 2 days with 2.5-3Ltr Tap water (depending on the pot weight) and have the following nutes available -

Big Grow: 4 - 3 - 6
Bio Bloom: 2 - 6 - 3.5
Top Max: 0.1 - 0.01 - 0.1
Fish Emulsion: 5 - 2 - 2
Organic Black strap Molasses

She's due her first dose of FE tomorrow and has just started week 4 of flowering.
I've suffered N deficiency on my last couple of grows so really haven't got my formula down yet.

Make only small changes and give those changes time to take effect. Keep lots of notes, I mean record everything you can. Remember in most case less is more. You will get your feeding program tuned in, just takes time......

When I first started I think I learned the most by growing clones side by side treating them each a bit different...

Thanks cowboylogic,
I actually keep an XL spreadsheet and make a note of everything every time I water the plant.
Unfortunately I only ever grow 1 plant every couple of years, so can't compare anything.

Was thinking of replacing the Bio Grow with the Fish Emulsion and upping it by a few ml, so tomorrow - 8ml FE + 6ml Bloom + 2ml Topmax

You don't need to complicate this. All that plant needs will be in the FE and Bio-Bloom. Unless you just HAVE to do it, eliminate the molasses. Feed it once in a while just to up the K a bit. This is gardening, you're not mixing rocket propellant! Keep this thing simple. What is it about us that we have to over engineer everything about growing MJ? I was the exact same way.
By all means take notes of everything, but this whole 2.5 mls of this, and 3 mls of that is rubbish. If you are using chemical ferts that MIGHT be a valid route, but not in organics. And go with one or the other. Chemical ferts and organics don't mix real well.

Get some Blk. strap molasses mix 10 mil to the gallon when you feed the plants . The Molasses has all the calcium ,Iron Copper Magnesium your plants will need , As a kid on the old Farm we used to use it to feed tobacco plants and corn to add a sweeter flavor and it made the Hogs taste better also (: Black Strap Molasses is good for about everything as a natural nutrient . Old timers used it in coffee water or biscuits also for joint pain of the neck back legs it does work.

Update:
Less than a week after giving her 8ml of Fish Emulsion along with Bloom nutes, most of the yellowing has stopped, some of the leaves have actually recovered. The buds are continuing to fatten up nicely and are oozing trichs. She has 4-5 weeks to go.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions, photo taken today -
