Magnesium deficiency, use unscented Epsom salts 1 Tbsp. per gallon of water, or just sprinkle it on top of your medium. Unsulfured molasses also has some and its good for the soil too. Try adjusting your water's PH to 5.9-6.0 for better uptake, a tablespoon of lemon juice helps me get it in range, smells nice too.
 
I used Botanicare cal-mag regularly for watering to try and correct 5ml/G. The plants now look like the photos. Could this be a nitrogen deficiency?

Any reason your not using any Bloom fertilizer?
You'll notice majority of them do have small amounts of nitrogen so you won't become deficient. Better to feed as preventative then it is to diagnose and fix.
I've always followed "feeding schedules" for wich ever company I was using at the time.
I'm trying to get away from using nutes in plastic bottles as they can be expensive, and create more plastic waste.
Unfortunately I was not able to build a complete super soil wich means I will be following a schedule this season.
I will be using "Humboldt County's Own "
Complete line and their schedule starting actual schedule beginning of the 3rd week of July then introducing "Bloom fuel" for an easier and faster transition
