Nitrogen deficiency starts bottom up.
When yellowing occurs top down, it is a deficiency of micro nutrients/trace elements usually.
Those tabs are not ideal, they require that the substrate is always moist to work properly, and cannabis does not like constant moisture.
I also think that nutrient distribution is too localized and not as evenly distributed as when using liquid feeds.
There are plenty of good quality bio/organic liquid ferts on the market that work perfectly with living soil.
