Chuckles,
After seeing the new pictures,i can assure you that them ladies is ok..I would say they are 3 weeks into flower ish,stretched and good bud developement,i would ease up on the feed and water,and let em grow,the larger leaves seem to be yellowing,which isnt too strange,as long as the new growth stays looking good and it doesnt get much worse i really think your cool,,,what ya reckon amigos,,,

IMO, it's a little early in the plant's flowering cycle to be showing the yellowing of the leaves. That's something more commonly associated with the ripening stage, which you're a bit aways from.
Give them a touch of Botanicare Calmag Plus your next watering. It's a 2-0-0 calcium, magnesium, iron supplement. There's your boost of nitrogen. The bottle says 5ml per gallon (roughly 4liters) for soil applications. You can try it at half strength and ease your way into 5ml per 4liters.
Peace and good growing.
edit:
I'm not trying to scare you, and I certainly don't mean to state the obvious, but the flowering period is a very crucial time when the plants are hungriest. If they suffer from a deficiency during this most pivotal of periods, the final bud quality will be negatively impacted... Possibly yield too.
edit2:
but aside from some mild yellowing, your plants look good, so don't worry. Just give 'em a little calmag... Your girls are just a bit short on nitrogen and maybe magnesium.

Yeah a very light feed,but keep the 12/12 solid. There lookin good.Water less i would say,in your climate theres no evaporation,and i know the ladies need water,but better a little less than too much,i think water twice a week.......I like them,doing well.

Yes, nitrogen. Right here. What is bat mix? Is that a pre-nuted soil or something? You've not been feeding with nutrients in your water?
What buddha said. The numbers represent NPK. You need to familiarize yourself with these technical details seeing as how you're growing now. Get yourself a good flowering base nute and supplement with this stuff.

Yes Calmag is a generic term I believe. There are other brands more local to your area that are the same thing I'm sure. Just ask for calmag. Good growing.

you need to make sure they are getting A LOT of light while flowering, also if you use nutrients that have a higher phosphorus content it will promote more flowering. it also has to have a solid 12 hours of darkness everyday at least, this makes the plant flower because it replicates the natural sun patterns at the end of summer which makes the plant start budding. if you do that then your buds will turn out fine.

Yeah i think i have given em too much nutes and been watering them too much (every other day) How long peeps before it will ready to harvest? They camae to me at 1 month old in veg and was told to put them straight onto 12/12 and this is now week 5 of flowering. I think they look a bit behind to me.

Well yeah i have been told how to do it and am just waiting for a magnifing glass to be delivered. could it be behind because of the over nutes and water? Also remember this is my first grow.

yeah no worries... i'm on my first kinda indoor grow myself (greenhouse of horrors was my first) .... my advise would be when said loupe arrives get use to looking at the tricomes so do it every day or so ... they will appear clear for ages then go cloudy/milky as the thc comes in (harvesting when cloudy is regarded as early but possible if a heady high is perfered) then the amber sets in ... generaly a ratio of 1/3 to 50/50 amber/cloudy is where its at according too most, as they continue to " i dunno?" turn for a short while after they have been cut down
hope this helps ..at all? otherwise i got finger cramps for nothing
