Possible root bound and inconsistent watering.
If I leave my plants too long in a small pot they kinda look like yours.

Fresh cooked soil fixes everything,Id go 15g+
so it lasts throughout flower.

i thought you said you were using a 4,4,4 and a 2,8,4?

mix a gram in a gallon of your water and measure EC/ppm and see what it comes out at. i probably wouldn't go over 1.5EC and i'd want the pH to be around 6.5 before i fed the plants.

A quick fix can be just adding more good soil,looks like theirs room?
How big of pot is that?
But Ill stick to transplant to much bigger,you still have months to go.

Doesn't work like that,only small portions of the Gaia are water soluble.

i went to the gaia website. it says to mix in a certain amount of the 4,4,4 per your soil amount and that should last 1 month. were you feeding more often than that?

i amended my medium as per instructions from mfg to start... then first top dress looks to be about 3.5 weeks in and each 3rd week after. my top dress is 3 tbs per 5 gal, which is 2 tbs less than recommend 1 tbs per gal
