Willing to bet thats a mag deficiency @Phockshlock. Leafs all over the plant are turning light green besides the darker veins. Mag is mobile so it will affect different parts of the plant. Also the stem is purple and that is a mag deficiency sign as well. I would try foiler spraying with a tablespoon of Epson salts per gal of water with a ph between 6.5 and 7.0. Its hard to over do it so try that once a day for a week and see if anything improves. Also are you using cal mag in your res? If not I would definitely grab some. Thats my 2 cents anyway. :)
Hi there, Thanx so much for your input, I just wanted to let you know that you were absolutely 100% right! All they needed was folia feeding, I hadn't been doing it enough in fear of burning them, I also knew I eventually would need some
Cal-Mag but just hadn't gotten it yet, unfortunately I was cashless at the time you advised me so I went ahead and ordered the
Cal-Mag online (Afterpay lol) and while waiting for 3 days for it to arrive I used their usual nutes (Aussie Magic Grow Juice for 1st stage of growth) with loads of
Cal-Mag in it diluted @ 50% as a folia feed daily as you told me but I diluted it incase of burning them and they're looking great not 100% yet but I can confidently say that during the day they are looking about 90-95% except for 2 that were sickest I'd say that they are looking about 80-85% during the day, compared to what they were like less than a week ago, all below 50% of life left in them, they had little chance of living without a good diagnosis, I would have tried
Cal-Mag but by the time I received it they would have gotten too sick to recover without too much stress, now they look like they will be great plants after all that they went through, there is no more crab claws, they are full of life, stronger, greener and growing quickly again, even the 2 sickest girl's are growing again, I received my order of
Cal-Mag today and I'll give them a folia spray tonight and feed tomorrow inline with their usual nutes feeding routine so I don't burn them? I've added some pics of how they're looking today, you'll notice that 2 look like they have a little less growth, they have been topped just yesterday as it was the right time and were healthiest and growing too fast lol
Thanx So Much for your input , I really appreciate it so much
I don't think I could have worked it out on my own

Folia feeding is something I wouldn't have ever thought of
These pics of the girls were taken after being rained on and a 12° drop in weather so they are in natural I'm cold run off position (while not being 100% yet) with 2 that are still suffering with a little bit of minor clawing at night or in the cold, they're great if it rains or is cold as long as there in the sun so I know that they're all going to be fine very quickly, their leaves are up and perky catching the sun like they should be through the day, no clawing or wilting at all, a little bit of taco and leaf drop on the 2 that were sickest and improving daily, purple stems are green again on all 4 strongest and almost green on the 2 sickest, all getting better every day, I litterally am noticing a major difference every morning even after very cold nights (in hot house over night) it was too difficult to get good pics while in the sun today without carrying them into shade, I will take more shaded daytime pics tomorrow to show you the amazing change in their live,s
Thanx Again
