Hey I do appreciate the help

I water roughly every 3 days(sometimes 2 days depending on pot weight) as for the soil test that was unsettled. Here it is now that it sat all day. Not sure if the soil amount is supposed to be packed or just dropped in(mine was just done dropping it in until the line...it was a tiny amount).
As you water the soil will settle/compact. If you have a good mix that drains well this is no problem. If you add compost/castings to the top as you go you can keep those upper feeder roots thriving.

You want the soil sample loose just like how you did it. That pH level looks about right to me for a soil grow. It looks like it’s reading 6.0 - 6.5

I did a soil test and it shows p&k good, but nitrogen was depleted. Any ideas on what I can add that just nitrogen? Or not heavy on the others(and cheap :D)

Any kind of veg-specific fertilizer. If you have fish hydrosylate it's almost all N.

But anything you have on hand that has mostly N would work. The extra P and the K isn't that big of a deal in soil. If the plants dont need it, they won't use it. But it'll be there for when they do to eat from as they please ;)
