Nitrogen Def, 5 weeks into flowering

I noticed a slight yellowing of lower leaves about a week a ago, wasn't too alarmed. However, over last week or so the yellow leaves are going all the way up to the buds, the buds don't look effected but I think this is happening a little to early on in the game here. All the water leaves have turned yellow nothing else. Anyone know how to add nitrogen to a flowering plant that is this far along? Or should I just keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best? I have a horrible time with pictures here and I would show some but take my word for it they are just straight yellow, no spots, no other colors or burning tips.

I usually use my veg nutes the first two weeks of flower just to keep em green longer.. but at this point don't do anything this drastic if its just to the older foliage that is dropping away. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can add that is going to make those older yellow leaves turn back green again but its not too big a deal. It's hard to say what exactly to do without seeing an picture of your setup. Is this an organic grow or synthetic nutes? What is your medium?

Hey man, it's definately an N def!
Are you using ferts in any way?

If yes, you need to add your Veg stage fert, they usually have more N than any other at the N-P-K range.
Check it for yourself though.

If no, just get a cheap tomato fert and add really really small doses than the ones recommended for tomatoes!

Cheers!!

I use Nectar for the Gods (i'm in soil, 5 gallon) and use their feeding chart diluted a bit, I use 5 gallon recommendation for 7 gallons (GOOD STUFF!!!) I would recommend awesome people there as well! I do mix up feedings with a little guano tea I make. The tea is just a few things I figured all to be good stuff from info I've gathered so.....worm castings, guano, seaweed extract, couple other little things and Mommas Molasses. Everything always PH'ed to 5.6-5.8....should I be worried about this or does the WW strain do that?

If in soil your ph needs to be higher 6.5-6.7 is where you need to be. Might not be absorbing enough of nutes bcuz of in balance.
