Hang in there. Someone will drop some knowledge for you.

Looks like u may be over watering. Let them dry out a bit before watering again. Also your using Gen.Hydro flora series? What medium are u growing in? What is your feed strength and how often? I used to use the flora series and always fed at full strength every watering.

Are they root bound?

Looks like magnesium deficiency to me. I'm going through the same thing right now. I would foliar with Epsom once or twice a week and lay off the calmag. I don't see any ca deficiency symptoms... in fact too much calcium will lock out mg.

Get em in bigger pots and they will take off like a rocket

they are now in 10 gal pots they were in 5gal pots. i am also in clothe pots now and i only used promix for the additional soil added. also going to be buying plant risers so that the bottom of the plant gets more air. when i transplanted it had been 3 days since watering and the roots at the bottom were sooo dense that they werent taking up water so they were sitting soaking wet for who knows how long and that explains why i am having deficiencies... so glad i posted this on here you guys are great!

Too much water and PH to low. ph Your water to 7.0 and see if that helps.
