Need help, high temperatures and need to fertilize!

Hi all. So I think my gals have absorbed all the natural nutrients from the soil. I am noticing N deficiency. I bought TSP 3 in 1 fertilizer but don’t know when I should begin the regimen. My ladies are 7 weeks old, they stopped growing due to this east coast heat wave (as expected). I water in the am and pm with rain water. Any suggestions. I did a top dress compost with worm castings to buy me time. Any help is appreciated.

lol, gotcha covered. As you can see one has burnt tips, the others have yellowing especially in the larger fan leaves. The one in the bucket seems to be doing well but just has droopy leaves.

If it’s super hot just half the strength and water twice as often. A big plant in a small pot needs a lot of watering.

Yeah, at first glance, they look underwatered. If they are underwater, they should perk up almost immediately when you water! If they don’t perk up then maybe you are over watering them and suffocating the roots. Symptoms of over and under watering can look a lot alike!
