Help please! Nitrogen deficiency?

Hey all, I’m about halfway or so through my flowering with my auto flower white widow. I’m growing in DWC hydro, currently running between 5.5 and 6.0 ph and am using general hydroponics trio nutes. I just started using 1 tsp of my primary nitrogen nute and 1 1/2 tsp of my “bloom” nute and 1 tsp of cal-mag per gallon of water. I was having a calcium deficiency but got it taken care of, now am I having Nitrogen deficiency?? Noticed yellowing leaves about 3 days ago, yesterday I added an extra 1/2 tsp of nitrogen but they yellowed slightly more today so I want to know if I’m even on the right track. This is my first grow.

That's PK issue not N

Add more of the red if you don't have any pk booster like koolbloom, and stick to the gh schedule, don't improvise

Ok thank you, I think I accidentally skipped a week ahead in my schedule now that I’m looking at my calendar

So I was using the micro, the gro, and the bloom according to a schedule I found on a site and it was working well but, this week I accidentally used one week too far ahead on the schedule, and it didn’t call for any of the gro which is green, the micro is purple and the bloom is red. The gro is 2-1-6 whereas micro and bloom are 5-0-1 and 0-5-4 respectively

I have been growing for years and I still use Lucas Formula most of the time because it is so easy; mostly the 5/10 mix. You should google it.

I don't know how anyone can say it's a pk problem without testing the leaves and the grower says they're giving npk. If you add those numbers together you get NPK of 7-6-11. It certainly isn't a def, as in, something is lacking (unless it's a micronute). You have dark green sativa dominant leaves, which are sensitive to nutrients. If this were a real deficiency, you'd see pale green colors with yellow. You have dying leaf tips and some dark green color, which usually means over fert. You didn't mention ppm level so I'm guessing you're just going by the tsp.
By 5/10 I'm guessing natureboy means 5ml of micro, 10ml of bloom. This page has it a little different, 8/16.

Yes I am going by tsp, I’ve considered getting a ppm meter but I’m a little confused on how to measure that out and such. I was scared that I was getting nute burn but until recently it was just the very tips so I didn’t think it was the hugest issue. Thank you
