Not sure on those as they are for human consumption. eggshells take too long to break down. Your nutrients should contain calcium and magnesium, also sulphur and then micros too. read the packets carefully, most nutrients like yours contain a complete range of nutrients in adequate quantities.

the molasses will contain those elements too as well as a few more goodies. keep using that.

You're probably fine for cal/mag... if you have a deficiency that'll only be because you haven't fed them enough in the first place.

You may want to folare feed the leaves only to get the color back up. This works even when the plant doesn't need/can't be watered (as long as it has good ventilation so mold doesn't grow). Spray it a few times with something like 15-30-20 over two days (if using a small spray bottle make sure you get the mix right, you don't want to burn it!). In a few days the color should be getting much better and you can water with something slightly lower in N like 10-30-20.

foliar feeding is the equivalent of feeding the plant intravenously. the food gets in much quicker through the pores of the leaves. Only really necessary if you're concerned about the look of the plant, so long as you have the nutrients in the medium the roots will harvest what's necessary. The plant will take care of the new growth first, then if there is more than enough for optimum growth and repair the plant will do both. The leaves and stems are used to store nutrients, so when the plant has enough for growth, the rest will get stored in the leaves and stems.

I had a DWC plant once turn completely yellow, fed her plain water for too long. Whole plant, yellow. It took around 2 weeks to get her looking anything like a normal plant should, and throughout that time she continued to produce nice buds while the right amount of food was available. Yellow will go green again given the right circumstances, but don't worry about it too much.

foliar feeding can be touch and go, be best to have some grows behind you before experimenting.

I check my PH once a month...if that.

But to me it looks like either a nitrogen deficiency or lockout.

When in doubt..flush it out!

Do you ever flush your soil.?..I flush 2x a month to remove fertilizer salt build up.

Are you getting leaf tip burn?
Are stems turning red ?
Are you getting brownish splotches on lower leaves?

If you answered yes to all 3 it's nute lockout and burn.
If you answered no to the first and yes to the second 2...it's deficiency.

if he answers yes to all 3 then he is suffering from a deficiency. tip necrosis is caused by lack of nitrogen, necrotic edges of the leaves is a K deficiency, purple or red leaf stems shows a P deficiency. necrotic splotches on the leaves shows a lack of Calcium.

there is no lock out, he's been underfeeding.

I've grown a 6ft plant in a 5" pot. It isn't root bound.

Stop confusing the guy.
