Well, based on the pics, it looks like you've had a couple years to work this out.....:)

But yeah, for your entertainment, it looks a lot like K deficiency/lockout due to hard water.

I say a couple years because the dates in the pics read 6/1/2008 ....lol

What are you feeding them, when, and how much, how often? And what kind of H20?

Hmmmmm.

Every two days? Sounds like a bit too often, if it's in soil. It could be overwatering.

I would alternate with a stronger mix of nutes, then follow up with plain water every 3-5 days in soil, let the soil get real light. Less is more, as a rule of thumb.

Also, it could be a salts buildup. If that's the case, don't do anything for a while. Let the medium dry up-- read: let it get reeal reeeal light. Then go to the store and pick up a gallon of distilled water, and pour the distilled h20 until you get a decent amount of runoff. Let, it dry up a bit, again, then fertilize as you normally would.

Good luck!

This doing the distilled water trick should fix the K lockout as well!

Itz hard to tell looking at pics taken under the light. My guess is they are getting over watered and over fed. 2 days seems like alot of feeding to me. What size pots are they in? Whats your runoff ph? You may have some salt build up.
