If the trial is in one month it is almost certainly too late to seek discovery: generally the other side has a month or more simply to respond to the request--at a minimun. (For example in NJ, they get 35 days.) Plus you are likely beyond the "discovery end date" for this case. While you could ask the court to let you request more discovery,  you are unlikely to be granted that time: even though you are pro se you are held to the same court rules as an attorney, such as that you should have know when you had to make any discovery requests. You are most likely going to have to attack any deficiencies at trial.
