Need advice on a large Sunshine Daydream starting to yellow to early

Hey y'all. Everything in my garden is looking great this year. Biggest plants I have ever grown :woohoo:

One plant has really turned a pale green with lots of yellowing leaves. Its about 9 feet tall in a 150 gallon pot. Soil is Vermifire. I top dressed back in mid July with Down to Earth All Purpose 4-6-2 and worm castings. Top dressed 3 weeks ago with Rainbow mix 1-9-2 and worm castings. All my plants get AACT once a week and General Organics Bio Thrive bloom 2-4-4 once or twice a week. Strain is Bodhi's Sunshine Daydream.

All the other plants in the garden are right on schedule and very healthy. Older inner leaves are yellowing, but still nice and green on the outside. Im mostly concerned cause I think this strain is gonna go longer and don't want it to lose so many leaves this early. Only 3 plants are in Vermifire, the rest of the garden is in soil from Rare earth. I put these 3 in last minute and opted not to drive back to GV to buy more soil and just bought a pallet of bags locally instead...

Should I be concerned? Any suggestions or feedback from the experienced outdoor organic folks on here is appreciated.

Not an outdoor guy but I would say get some nitrogen to the plant. Lots of sources of nitrogen out there.

BioThrive Bloom doesn't have calcium right? Your plants, at least in the vermifire, haven't had Ca in a while it sounds like.

So if you're going to play the guessing game without a soil test, maybe give it some Ca

Thanks Plantingplants. You are correct. No Ca in the Bio Thrive. Deff don't have time to test and wait for results at this point so it's a guessing game for sure.

It really does seem more like a N issue, but looking at pics of both deficiencies still has me scratching my head. I did see some posts from HillMizer recently and the discussion of Ca.

I feel you my goji and my love triangle seemed to not like any nitrogen at all in flower. Did you get it figured out?
 
Are the stems of those yellow leaves purple/red? That would = N def. Looks like it to me.

Ca def to me at this stage looks like leaf twist on the tops as well as a slight yellow tinge to the tips. I had some that did this so I watered in Ca.

My heaven mountains (goji og x) seem especially sensitive to N...particularly the sativa leaning ones. Had some clawing which cleared up.

Giving them a little N right now wouldnt hurt I dont think as long as you dont over do it.
 
Thanks Guys. Im gonna give this one a few small low dose shots of N this week along with some kelp and reassess this weekend. If there is anything to report I will let y'all know. Thanks again.
