Sounds like nutrient lockout to me but I'm not a grower so I'm not sure. Hope someone more knowledgeable comes along that can confirm. Best of luck!

how are you watering? they look a little bedraggled. get a fan on them, and watch your water. the yellowing may be N hunger, and you just fed so we'll see if that improves. they don't look terrible. the upside-down shot threw me:)

Cheers for quick reply :) watering by measuring jug ph water to 6.5 with ph up and and down, I think I have found the problem just done a soil test on one (soil from around 2 inches in) and its orange so indicates 5.0 ph but run off is 6.8. There looking worse today to be honest twisted new growth and more sagging of the leafs. How would I go about increasing the ph in the soil using ph up + down mate?

The problem is not the Ph its the poor soil. Repot soon and mix 1/3 perlite with a better soil mix and bump up nutes a little more.

"any soil you lot would big up?".... not sure what that means.
And im not sure about canna, i do not use it.. at least not yet, :) but others might know. i use fox farm soil .. (mostly because its on sale a lot at my local garden shop, AND have had great results!! most important.) lol

coco=hydro, not soil. it does not retain nutrients well. i would just use neutral potting mix that has at least 30% perlite, imo.
