i see a few problems the single blade leaves are because the plant was trying to flower then brought back to veg (can herm)
the leaf with ripples on it is from humidity to high. the pots are big for such small plants could had a better result with a smaller pot in the beginning (less humidity in the air) also hard to tell other problems because the pics are from far away

Thanks for the input... these were monster cropped thats why the hormones are a bit out of wack... they were getting rootbound in 16 oz cups and these were the only pots around at the time.

That is probably fine, camg is more important in flower than veg. Better pics would be great to help you identify the problem, is that top down yellowing? They appear to be young plants, which shouldn't need many nutrients. Your root zone may be too hot as light will be absorbed into those black water pans you're using.

What light intensity are your ballasts set to?
What is your canopy temperature?
What is in your soil medium/substrate?
What else are you feeding them and how many times per week?
Have you tested the pH of your water? Are you using city (tap) water?

The more people know the easier it will be to help find a diagnosis

Thanks for your help. I honestly think its a lack of Nitrogen. They are young so I just started bumping up the ppms gradually. Right now I'm about at 600ppms. Yes my PH is always around 5.8 I test it before every feed. My lights are set to 600w and there are 4 of them. Canopy temp is fluctuating a bit between 78 and 82. I'm using straight CoCo which was pre soaked and rinsed in PH water of about 5.5-5.8. I'm feeding them the 3 part flora series with Silica and Cal Mag for right now. Friday I will throw in half teaspoon of molasses pre gal (unsulfured). I guess this would be considered city water and the ppms are 190 alone. I'm feeding them about 3 times a week. I didn't know Cal Mag was that important in flower. Thanks for the info. I usually dial back the calmag in flower a bit.

You may be locking out nutrients with a pH that low, maybe adjust to 5.8-6.0. 190ppm is a bit high, reverse osmosis units are great as they filter out chlorine/chloraminie and fluoride. I have one by P{ure water products, which brings the ppm down to 19. Hope they recover!

Shit... your right... ok so what is that?

They all look fine man, just do a good Ph5.8 flush using tap water ppm, then do a basic ppm/Ph test on a sample of your run off water. When you happy its all right just start again using your nutes again at 75% dose and build back to where they are cooking again! Adding extra Calmag shouldn't be necessary if the nutes are for coco or you have LED lights? If you have overdone anything here its worrying... trust me they are fine just need some TLC and building up with a good reliable coco nutrient regime.
