Is this plant finishing flowering or dying?

I gave it a finishing tea this morning and the fading and drooping of the leaves only seemed to increase. At this point I’m at a loss, my watering schedule has been fairly consistent I always let the soil dry out, watering no more than once every 2-3 days. They are in 5 gallon pots, organic living super soil blend. The tea recipe was mild i think, idk this is my first grow but I’m becoming worried about this plant.F8D2C81C-C6CF-420C-8CEA-9B4C99C24A2B.jpeg7A4B6A51-66D0-46F5-8452-9CBA9BEB605A.jpeg

Hardly dying...perhaps nitrogen deficient but in late bloom not much of a problem. Can't tell from the pics...got reddish brown pistils? Any amber triches?

Definitely no amber trichs, the pistols are more orange/white than reddish brown. She still has at least 3 weeks to go so I’m worried it won’t make it. Those fan leaves are about to drop off I can tell the lower ones are even worse

They look fine. They're just finishing up. I also grow in a living organic soil and my girls are looking a little hungry too as they begin to finish up. At weeks 6 and later the leaves will fade and die off. That's just your plant using every bit of energy out of the leaves to put into bud growth.

Do you have anything to top dress with? I use Craft Blend by Buildasoil. If not, you can give them some liquid seaweed, or liquid kelp. But honestly, she should make it another few weeks no problem. Compost teas should help you get there.

I have down to earths entire line of amendments by now, I’m just such a noob and scared to burn my plants I haven’t dared try topdressing yet. This book I’m reading warned against making nitrogen available too late into flower so I’m on the fence about it

I wouldn't worry too much. But if you have Down to Earth, try a tablespoon of kelp meal, a tablespoon of Bio-live, and a couple of cups of worm castings, then scratch it all into the top inch or so of soil. You'll start to feel the top roots. Then water in as usual or with a tea. Should get you to the finish line no problem without burning. Or, just wait. And dont do anything. Save top dressing for next grow. It's a learning process. The more grows you get under your belt, the more mistakes you'll make. Hence the more you'll learn from making those mistakes. The main thing is to have fun, and enjoy what you're doing. Eventually you're learn that your plants will tell if and when they need anything. But it does come with experience.
