Pale plants, red stems, smaller growth. Rapid yellowing of lower leaves progressing up the plant. Add any chemical fertilizer containing N. Treated plants recover in about a week.

Dark/purple color can be a P deficiency.

Since you are feeding so often, to often in my opinion, I find it hard to believe it is a deficiency in nutes but you may be suffering nute lockout so even though you are feeding them the plants are incapable of absorbing and then processing the nutes

Flush your plant real good and don't feed very 3 days, feed every other watering and wait for plants to go over half way dry before watering and that should take care of it. What are your temps when the lights are off?

that is the most perfect example of Nitrogen deficiencie, see how the viens followed suit in turning yellow? many times we believe we have N def. but the viens al slearly green still, any fertilizer with a good N in it should do the trick, most likley a grow/veg nute, please make sure your PH is in good range so it can absorb your fertilizer properly

i also have a recomendation for a quick fix, flush your plant with 1/4 strength veg nute mixed, this will (a) balance out your ph and (b) ensure the uptake of those nutes

ok, that is 100% nitrogen, if you flushed the soil, remember there is nothing left in the soil to feed the plant. did you feed after flushing? at this stage its ok to get yellowing although you should be getting this in the last 2 weeks, you can use cal-mag from botanicare or a grow nute

did you follow the advice i gave you ther fitst time? about flushing with nutes mixed? 1/4 strenght and it'll fix you right up, just wait till soil is very dry before you flush again, either that or just feed them, you should be happy N problems are easy your plant looks great otherwise

also, what exactly are you feeding it?and the strenght, full 1/2? i didnt realize how high up the yellowing goes, need to stop it in its tracks....i know this is simple but needs food with N and you should see some of the least effected leaves try to turn darker

I believe it is a mix of both N and P deficiency.

I suggest directly feeding your roots by watering your cup with relatively high nutrient solution. - P and N.
