Looks like N deficiency but the soil is loaded with Nitro guano. Wtf?

So, I transplanted some Royal Kush clones into standard 2 and 5 gallon pots. The soil is last season's FFOF, with some old roots and organic matter in it, but had been rained on all winter so it should be pretty much flushed of nutrients. Ph'd @ a 6.8.

Just for kicks, I added a dash of Anasazi Gold, along with a (possibly too generous) amount of Roots Organics Nitro Guano 9-3-1. These were leftover smaller girls and I was a little careless so I just "hand measured" :roll:.

Within a week they started to turn a pale green, and have continued to go pale for about a week. They are totally stunted as well. Theyve been hit with EJ Originals "Advanced" grow at full strength once, as well as a full strength Xtreme Gardening compost tea, and water as needed. What are your thoughts? All opinions are definitely appreciated.:bigjoint:

You just loaded your plants with N and now they are showing signs of N deficiency. From my experience, and as I am currently experiencing at the moment, nutrient lockout usually tends to mimic N deficiency at the start and in mild cases as yellowing of the leaves are the plants starving of nutrients like nitrogen as it cannot uptake nutrients due to nutrient lockout. I could be wrong but I think I'm right :p

I was having the same issues with ocean forest and the fox farm line. I changed from ocean forest to promix and my issues went away. I chased the problem and never could fix it.

I really think that it's a lockout issue as well. Thank you for explaining your reasoning there. I'm going to flush and foliar feed for the time being.
