What kind of deficiency is this guys? I would of thought nitrogen as the leaves are yellowing but as you can see from the full plant pictures they look very green...what u guys think? I need this fixed immediately. They have been getting Megacrop by Green .leaf for a few weeks but I haven't fed for couple weeks now due to some high pH.

100% Magnesium deficiency. The distinct difference between N def and Mg def is that the yellowing is appearing between the veins to start with, while the veins themselves remain green. As the symptoms intensify, the whole leaf will eventually turn yellow and/or get brown spots as well.

Read this page...growweedeasy.com should already be a bookmark for every grower, if you haven't read there nutrient deficiency guides you should do so. It helps you spot certain nutrient problems before they become severe, and allows you to recognize classic symptoms like, for example, interveinal yellowing on the lower leaves of your plant, as a magnesium deficiency. I'm sure you could have another problem at play here, maybe related to the Mg def, maybe not. If you're in promix, which I've heard is actually peat and not really soil, you're going to want to make sure your PH is in the proper range. Typically, Mg deficiency related to PH is from the PH being to low. Not always, but typically. Peat turns acidic as well. If the PH is not in the correct range, make ammendments and adjust it, and wait to see if symptoms continue spreading. If they do not, problem solved. If they do, you can either add a calmag supplement or you can add a well balanced base nutrient like, but not limited too, Floranova Bloom or Flora Trio. If you use Floranova, don't bother with the grow bottle all that you need is Floranova Bloom all the way through, it is Lucas Formula in a bottle. Some of your leaves are very dark green, so I would only add a calmag supplement as a last resort. If you do need to do so, use something like CaliMagic that has very little N (1-0-0), as compared to Botanicare's CalMag Plus which is great, but it has twice the N present in it (2-0-0).
Good luck.

Yeah the pH was actually a bit high sitting at 7. So I flushed and used some pH down to bring it down. I am waiting for her to dry out again before I add more mega crop or cal.mag. I am hoping this fixes the issue..

I sure hope so as well buddy. Post back if it does, just so future readers know how you solved it :) If it doesn't, then we will go from there!

well im going to say NOT mag deficient and say it's k deficient.

Im lookin at the leaves on the plant not the ones picked off. The one pic yeah that looks like a mag deficiency (a little) but one leaf doesnt mean shit.

I just thought it looked like a more severe version of this

But Bernie is more experienced than I am, I'd take his lead on this.

Nope. It is one of the examples listed under Mg deficiency on Growweedeasy.com. I oftenly use them as a reference when trying to help others.
