My bad -- your N looks just fine (I must have been stoned... ;) )
I wouldn't' disturb the plant just to look at the root ball. You'll stress your flowergirl.
I use 1/4 added perlite to FoxFarms or Happy Frog. Both are heavy mixes and usually need a little more fluffing up. (I don't add any when using Smart Pots(r) because of the wonderful way they aerate the roots)
On this grow, just watch out for over watering. Add 1tbls H202 (hydrogen peroxide) to all of your waterings -- this will help provide extra oxygen for the roots in your heavy soil -- also good to add when flushing.
You might want to sprinkle 1/4 tsp epsom salts on top of your soil. It will add trace Magnesium as it dissolves when you water. my plants love it.
those pix look great.

I love the correction with regards to inspecting the rootball. Especially with it coming from a newbie, lol. But honestly...you Mdm, are full of shit. :jointsmile:

As long as you are using it for the right reason, and are aware of the cumulative effects. But using it just to use it is folly. Learn proper techniques, and you won't be chasing miracle band-aids to correct your botanical boo-boos.
So add perlite to aerate the soil, then add a chemical (that if overused can/will kill the beneficial bacteria in the soil) in case the perlite didn't really areate the soil? Is it just me, or is this starting to sound like someone that has read a lot, but doesn't seem to have practical experience? Sprinkle it on top of the soil...? Hmmm...and you recommend everyone does this?

Ok, been gone for a few. Actually your plant looks perfectly fine! By the end of flowering you will want most of your leaves, mainly fan leaves, yellowed and dead, that's life!
Rusty, I love you man. You crack me up. I'd rep ya, but I gotta spread the love more before.
