Hello, friends. 1st time grower and 1st post to this group.

I have some outdoor (in the soil) plants that have been growing really well this growing season. Around 5 weeks ago a couple storms came through the area resulting in 4 snapped branches on one plant between the 2 storms. They didn't break completely off, just split from the main stem (about the middle of the plant) and fell down. I used zip ties and some rope to carefully put these branches back to where they were in hopes they would be OK and continue growing. The problem is...the bottom half of this plant (roughly 5 feet tall) is green and thriving with around 4 weeks flowering bud growth and healthy fan leaves BUT the top half of this plant (roughly 4+ feet tall) is showing weak growth with drooping fan leaves plus yellow leaves with round dark spots on them. Some are half yellow,half green.
I'm not sure what to do next to try and fix the problem and save this girl before it's too late. If you need more info just ask and I will be happy to respond. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Killer plants!
If they were mine, I would pluck and dispose of the yellow leaves with dark spots, including any on the ground. Maybe fungal, maybe bacterial, maybe neither, but those leaves are not doing their photosynthetic job very well and are unlikely to contribute to plant growth.

And I agree with @GNick55, it seems to want a bit more N.

Might have some mold problems on your stalk and branches. Second pic and last pic look questionable. Just an observation! Far from sure.

Thanks for your input. I was feeding with slightly higher nitrogen nutes until flowering started then I lowered my nitrogen and increased both potassium and phos. Moisture meter tells me today is a feeding day so I think I will increase nitrogen a bit and see what happens.

Yep, I got rid of all the nasty yellow leaves. I did lower nitrogen feeding a little when flowering hit but I am gonna take the advice of others who have posted and feed more nitro and hope for the best. My 4 other plants get the same feed and they are big and doing fantastic. None of the other plants had any branches snap either. Maybe you are right. Maybe the top half of my sick plant got infected where those branches snapped. After today's feeding, I will be watching closely. Thanks for your input.
