Woould it make a difference that the outdoor plants are direct in ground ? That’s the other thing I thought of that maybe the outside plants are getting different soil ( whatever is in the ground ) Even tho I used my soil mix to fill the holesit's definitely not chlorine issue or ph. Why would your outdoor plants not show that deficiency if they are in the same soil. Probably just a overwatered plant that's got trouble to get nitrogen from the soil ( because of all that water)
If that makes sense
