Really it could be a few different things so its kinda hard to tell just from pics. What nutes. are you feeding them and how often? Whats the ph of your water and how often are you watering them and how much? Mine are kinda doing the same thing with new growth dips dieing and I finally narrowed it down to being a (P) Phosphorus def., even though im giving them alot of phosphorus right now there not getting it because ive never flushed my soil and ive got nute. lock out from it and thats why my plants arent getting the phosphorus they need

as for bloom nutrients, everyone is going to have a preference.
Since you just flushed maybe letting them dry up a bit would be a good idea.

Most of us see a problem and then try 3 or 4 things to correct the problem, this Normally adds more problems to the mix.

Most everyone will say when you decide to introduce nutrients, begin with 25% strength and look for response, some plants may want more, or less (Nutes and/or water) than those of the same strain.

Are you "resting" your water 24 hrs+? removes chlorine.
Are you using "warm water" ? If you rest the water at a temp closer to the soil temp you can try to avoid shock from colder water.

I am sure you are going to get a plethora of information. Good Luck and Happy Gardening!

Im no expert, but my buddies looked the same and it turned out to be over-fertilized. Worst comes to worst, if there are multiple plants, you should try different remedies for different plants and hope 1 shows a quick sign of recovery.
I have always used tap and "rested" it. No problems for me.
