by the way folks, i purchased a home soil test kit by luster leaf, and tested the soil of 3 plants demonstrating the most stress (yellowing, discoloration and spotting of leaves, BER), and the results showed ph level of 5-5.5, adequate/sufficient P and K, but N was depleted! yikes!! this was consistent for all samples. i understand that too much nitrogen inhibits flowering/fruiting, but would you all recommend that i start applying a nitrogen rich fertilizer (i have alaska fish fertilizer 5-1-1) on a weekly basis or would that be inadvisable at this stage?

Yes, go ahead and use your Alaska Fish Fert right away. It takes a lot of nitrogen to ruin your plants so you may wish to repeat the feed in 3-4 days.
