It looks like a nitrogen deficiency.

I could be wrong, best bet is to weigh up the answers.

If it is nitrogen def., then the OVERGROW faq says...

Solution for Fixing a Nitrogen Deficiency:

Avoid excessive ammonium nitrogen, which can interfere with other nutrients. Too much N delays flowering. Plants should be allowed to become N-deficient late in flowering for best flavor. A goof solid N-P-K ratio will fix any nitrogen deficiency. Any chemical or organic fertilizers that have Nitrogen in them will fix a nitrogen deficiency., Peters all purpose plant food 20-20-20 is good, Miracle grow All purpose plant food, Miracle grow Tomato plant food, (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients, or it will cause nutrient burn!) as well and blood meal! If you need to give your plants a quick solution to nitrogen and you want to use blood meal, I suggest making it into a tea for faster use, where blood meal is slow acting, but when made into a tea it works quicker! Other sources of nitrogen are dried blood, Cotton seed meal which is slow acting, Insect eating bat guano which is fast acting. Bone meal which is a gradual absorption when not made into a tea.( also excellent source of phosphorus). Fish Meal or Fish Emulsion is a good source of nitrogen and is medium acting. Worm castings, which is gradual absorption. Seabird guano, All purpose Millennia Seabird guano, Orginal Seabird guano All Purpose, Crabshell ,which is slow absorption. Fox Farm Grow Big, which is fast acting. (can bring down your pH as well)

Soil PH is low as well, 6.3 - 6.8 is what your shooting for.

A fan running on them can help dry soil a bit.

Its just that with that color, and no real signs of nutrient burn, it seems like nitrogen def. How often do you water?

Maybe a more seasoned pro has a better answer.

OK STOP

Figured it out I think.

Your low soil PH is locking out the nitrogen, so fix your PH issues FIRST before adding more nutes or you can compound the problem.

You need to slowly raise the PH of your soil over a few days or you will cause shock to plants.

LMAO, don't be sorry! Its how we learn about this beautiful plant we are all growing :D

Dolomite lime seems to have a neutral PH of 7.0, so when added in the proper proportions its going to try to bring the soil close to that level. If your too low dolomite lime will bring it up and if your too high dolomite lime will bring it down trying to balance it.

"Add some of the hydrated dolomite lime to luke warm water and give it a good stir then water your plants with it. Give the plants a good watering with this hydrated lime added and your PH should fall or rise back to 7"
