I have two plants that are yellowing at day 53. 70 to 80 dayer from seed bank. I have feed ff trio nutes at 1/3 strength when dry. I admit i think I UNDERWATERED and underfed these babies. I dont know if this is a deficiency or normal yellowing. If it is a deficiency im assuming nitrogen? They have had cal mag. I just fed one watered the other. Any suggestions for a fix?
Is this nitrogen def, and should I try and or how to fix

I'm an organic grower first off. But it looks to me like you're under feeding as you suggested in your notes. And that you probably missed your window for great growth has you're already well into flower. But I would be feeding at at least 7/8 or 3/4 strength minimum with autoflowers.
Yea I THOUGHT she was growing amazingly. So whats the fix? Should I feed? Or will I over water since the pots are saturated?I'm an organic grower first off.

Feeding and Watering are skills to learn.
www.autoflower.org
What you need to learn about watering will come with practice. Here are the basic rules: Never let the soil dry out. Soil and or coco can become hydrophobic if allowed to dry. This means it repels water. This in turn will create dry pockets in the soil and the roots and microbes will die there. If your soil - coco have accidentally dried out use a surfactant to help re-wet it. I like yucca powder. Don't let soil remain soggy by watering too much too often. Root rot, damping off, molds, fungus gnats and other problems start in soggy soil. When you do water water the entire pot. How to learn when to water starts before you plant the seed. Fill your container with fresh soil/coco and weigh it (heft it) this is the lightest weight and consider it a dry pot. Now slowly water until the soil/coco will no longer absorb the water and run-off begins; weigh the pot (heft it) this is the maximum water, the wettest the pot can get. The difference between wettest and driest is the maximum water weight, for ease of explanation lets just say the water weighs 20 pounds. When the pot loses 10 pounds (half of the water weight) it is time to water again. There is an art to watering.

How would you recomend me to add nutes AFTER already watering?Feeding and Watering are skills to learn.

Well let me see if I can help?
Please answer these questions and add anything else you think may be pertinent. What kind of soil are you using? Did it get dry? Do you have Recharge or some other beneficials and fungus? Do you have kelp and humic acid? List what you do have and try to source these other basic soil amendments. Pictures in Daylight (5000K) with the grow lights off would also be useful.
Just re-weting the soil like you have will make some nutrients available to the plant. Do not do anything at the moment. Moving too fast in soil will have you tripping over-yourself.

All I have is fox farm trio. She was dry before the watering yesterday. She is in happy frog. My plan was to see if she still yellows anymore by tommorow. If she does I was going to flush with nutes. That sound reasonable? Thank you!Well let me see if I can help?

First grows can be stressful loli can see this going in circlesi sure you was going to give them pots a drink,,see i would pull the leaf off,,and thats why your best filling in the form

Flushing 
HF/OF does not work well and should be considered only as a last ditch effort. The last thing you want to do is add more nutrients to the pot at this moment. The thing is if you already know what you want to do then get'er done!
