this is one of many fricken pages of plant abuse Marijuana Plant Abuse
im sure theres a copy on this site somewhere too.
looks like what they call a phosphorus defiency
Phosphorus (P) Toxicity
This condition is rare and usually buffered by pH limitations. Excess phosphorus can interfere with the availability and stability of copper and zinc.
the picture looks just like your plants

Yep, as the other person said, almost classic Phosphorous deficiency, possibly caused by ph being off. Check the soil ph and make sure it's between 5.8 and 7.00 if in soil and 5.5 - 6.2 in hydro.
Plants also use more phosphorous and potassium in flowering so you may want to think about feeding it, but check on ph first.

I'm an Idiot!!!.......think i figured out how i was killing them........all of my plants sit in 5 gallon buckets filled with soil, and of course with drainage holes in the bottom.......those then sit in another 5 gallon bucket allowing a drainage gap at the bottom few inches of the bottom bucket, so that it can collect the run off water........at the top of that little reservoir gap (just underneath bottom of top bucket), before the water would reach back into the top bucket with the soil, there is a drainage hose which goes directly into an overflow tank for all the plants.....I did this so i would not have to worry about overwatering or soaking my plants to death........funny thing is that when i seperated each plants 5 gallon pair of buckets, i found out that the roots had already outgrown the top 5 gallon bucket through the drainage holes i drilled, and formed a whole root system that was just sitting in all the excess runoff water.........must have been just soaking it all up for the last couple weeks or so..........so i took them to the bathtub, flushed and am going to redrill different drainage holes for the runoff water, so that the bottom reservoir stays mostly dry..........
