yellow spots, just 1 more week ..

So I have one more week before the garden is done and I can get my broccoli in and I'll be darned if I'm going to lose these guys now. They are beginning to get yellow spots on some of the leaves. I think from what I could find it means they have a nitrogen deficiency and they need to be fertilized - does this sound right?

Also how do you know how much fertilizer to feed them? I've given some of them a little bit of fertilizer one time and by little I mean little.. like maybe 1 tbsp of the ferilizer/water mix (diluted slightly more than advised on the fertilizer instructions). Maybe that wasn't enough since even the ones that got the one fertilizer are showing the spots? I know you have to make sure they are well watered before the fertilizer so the roots don't burn. Just need to get them to hang on one more week and they'll be happy in the garden.
