Problems identifying deficiency!

ph too low, nitrogen deficiency, or both. incorrect pH can mirror deficiencies though. get pH sorted out after flush, then increase nutrient strength at appropriate pH (did I hear perlite was growing medium? if so, try 6.0 pH and try again.).

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I really appreciate it!
So basically I should just keep feeding nutes at normal strength every 3-4 days something high in N and see if the condition corrects itself?
Garden11 I have 5 or so large holes at the bottom of the pot, it wouldnt hurt to punch a few more out?
Basically, you should scrap those containers in favor of smart pots...meanwhile drill a ton of holes. Also, yellowing leaves can also be caused by a N lockout. I see many here are advising more, be careful with that. I generally use a balanced approach to treat an imbalance. The problem is, you have so much stuff in your medium already that I would flush and transplant...start over with a proper medium.
 
I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I have had with this post, thank you to all those who helped!
I punched an extra 8 holes in the pots and flushed with a decent amount of ph'ed water. I went and got some charlie carp (good choice?) as it was rich in nitrogen and fertilized with that yesterday. I can already notice a difference in the Nebula today, the leaves are a lot more perked up!
Is Charlie Carp utilized instantly by the plants root system or does it need to be broken down by microbes first? Also, is the reason I need to fertilize more with my soil less mix because there are not nutrients readily available like there are in soil?
I will post some pics soon!
 
Hey guys and girls!
Thought I would give everyone an update on how the plants are going!
I ended up flushing with a few litres of water that had been left out a few days. I decided on getting a large container/reservoir to let the tap water sit out for a few days. I have a constant supply of ph'ed water now so im not messing up the plants ph any more. I also drilled a bunch more holes into bottom of the pots.
I gave them a 150% dose of charlie carp which is just fish emulsion. The label said low odour but geeeez use it in the cabinet and it smelt like a dirty hooker for a few days. Lucky I have my carbon scrubber, made it myself and works a treat!

The day I gave them the fert I thought the plants were done for they went a pale yellow colour, I was about to scrap them! The next day the leaves started to perk and went a lime green. I followed watchhowldoit's advice and fed them again two days later and they were starting to really come back, they must have been stunted as hell because i noticed them start to stretch again and it was the first time i moved my light up in ages. It's been a week and they are some well fed girls, dark in colour again and healthy as they have ever been! Waiting for my 2700k light to come in tomorrow and putting them straight into flowerI have done a pretty good job of keeping them low and stocky, the tallest is the Jacky White at 7 inches high with 6 heads on it. It's a dominant sative so i hope it doesnt stretch too much and out grow the cabinet!

Have a look at the pics and compare them to last week!

One question, the seeds are feminized and I hear these seeds have more of a chance of being hermies. Would this type of abuse in the form of nutrient deficiencies increase te chances of the plants turning into shemales?

Once again, thank you everyone for the prompt feed back! They would have been goners if I didnt have the advice! Stay tuned for more updates! ;-)
