Think I've got myself a nitrogen deficiency going on I've lost two of my lowest leave now the next two are yellowing and the leaf stems are turning red. I think it's down to switching to bloom feed too fast and completely stopping veg feed, to counteract it I have started feeding it 2ml of veg feed only per litre of water, I'm going to do that for another day then introduce bloom in slowly but I'm going to do just veg for two days to boost the nitrogen. What's the best way to bring it back to health and have strong green leaves ?

I'm using shogun samurai terra feed, the veg stage was amazing the plant looked so healthy but I don't know whatS going on now I think I got too cocky and switched bloom too fast

That sucks, they don't list any NPK......
Kinda fancy looking packaging......
I would simply go right back to the grow and just use that......Auto's are fussy (the one's I've run).....You might hit it with a bloom booster like their PK product at week 5 + 6 + 7 once or flip to the bloom at week 5.......
Your not going to pump up an auto much. You need to be calm and gentle with them......
Good Luck and don't feel the need to up the P&K till later! Even with photo's - they get no bloom till week 3 - 4 and sometimes later with pure Sativa's!
Well it's week three of flower now and week six since popping, so you think I should feed it just grow for now ? When shall i start the bloom feed because it won't be long until I start to flush her probably about 2-3 weeks and I'll Be flushing her for two weeks ? I really appreciate the help

You don't NEED bloom foods for the plant to finish. Being an Auto - the best way to have grown that would have been in an organic water only soil grow..
#1: Like I said - you might do better by not using a bloom with your auto.
#2: You would be counting the weeks from the beginning of the flower formation - not from seed for nutrient changes.
#3: For gods sake forget about flushing! It's a myth!!!!
#4: IF you feel the need to use a bloom feed wait at LEAST a week (2 would be better yet) and then use it.
I'll bet I've been doing this longer then you have been alive......Auto's are fussy and running a single balanced nutrient works best for them as far as being trouble free......
Dyna Gro - Foliage Pro would have been a dandy choice for your auto.
Run the Veg formula only OR start the bloom in 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and DON'T FLUSH - proper dry and cure!

This is what I need some clear instructions from someone's who's obviously very experienced, people told me to switch to bloom when you see flowers developing so I did so. Back to straight grow feed for 2 weeks then two weeks of veg and bloom then HARVEST TIME !!
