THat is not nitrogen, it looks more like an iron deficiency........

WHat brand of soil are you using? need to know the brand to ensure your problem is not being caused by pH.
Looks like some calcium on those lower leaves, where at on the plant did you take this clone from?
You may be feeding them too much now and causing a lockout. You can't keep feeding every watering, the nutrients leave salts over from the plants not taking all nutrients, they take what they need and leave the rest causing a salt buildup.

You need to give them fresh water every now and then, you can feed 2 times in a row, but the 3rd should be fresh water with no nutrients added.

What is the dosage you are using on your plants? How often are you watering, how many days apart?
Which every it is, I am sure your problem is being caused by a lockout issue, because either you have soft water and not a lot of iron and calcium, or it's being locked out due to salt content.

It's just some regular soil from meijers. "Good Earth all purpose potting soil". I've been using it with every other plant and don't really see this much. I don't believe there's any nutrients in the soil. And I never really watered them unless the soil was dry and looked like it needed watering. But when it started to turn lighter green I fed it 3 days in a row with a little bit of nutes. I only gave them a cap full of nutes each time. So I guess I have no choice but to flush it out with fresh water? I hope it doesn't get overwatered and stuff. I took the clone around the 1st wk of flowering at the very bottom of the plant.

For one thing the stuff has timed released ferts and wetting agents, so most likely you are burning your plants, that timed released stuff is normally too strong for cannabis.
You want to avoid timed released ferts at all cost for small plants.

There is nutrients in the soil, lots of them.
Yup, you got to flush it out. Where were they turning lighter green at?
WHat does the back of the bag say it has in it? Does it say peat moss? Cause I can't find anywhere a close up of a label to see what ingredients it has in it, the only thing I did find was the description of it and it's timed released ferts.
Have you grown this strain before in this mixture?

Do you have holes in the bottom of that bag for drainage?
The problem is your mixture retains water for easier watering, this is not very good sometimes and it tends to hold more utrients in there which is why it's causing a problem as well.

I would use around 2 gallons of water to flush her out.

It said nothing about time released nutrients on the bag. Nothing at all, it's just general potting soil. Yep the bags I'm using have drainage holes. I always have drainage holes in my pots and stuff. I guess I'll just give them a lot of water tonight..I know I'm probably gonna end up killing this plant lol.

Well I just went down there and it doesn't look like the problem is progressing. Although I did give it just a little bit of fresh water. I was told I could have been overwatering but I just wanted to be sure the nutes I was giving it wasn't hurting them too bad (not enough water anyways). Anywho I'm just gonna pray on this thing because I really need to keep this baby alive, I love the buds it produces.

Is this the bag you have?
If not can you take a picture of your bag please?

WHat is the dosage you are using on them and how far apart are you watering, if I msised it I am sorry, but I don't see where you answered those questions.

I fed it 3 days in a row with a little bit of nutes.

You can't do that dude, if you watered 3 days in a row then yes you are overwatering. You should never have to water a plant that size 3 days in a row.

Either way your plant is getting locked out and burned. Did you use the amount of water I told you to when you watered her?

If not, your problem will still lurk around if you do not do a proper flush.
