You could try something like this.
What nutes and pH are you running?

Thanks very much - that link put me on the right track, appreciated :)

I am running PM nutes, 1.4 ec, ph 6.2, 2-3weeks into 12/12

Add a few rusty nails to your water/ res.
If it's iron deficient that should fix em right up.

thanks Scarhole, I read that somewhere too. I stumbled across some Canna Mono Iron in a shop this morning so will give that a try - if nudging the nutes up slightly doesn't make a difference

We are gonna need some pics to better understand whats going on it might just need some cal mag or something else. Brown spots/ rusted looking are most likely gonna be calmag issues.

Try Cal Mag, Works Great

Yeah cal mag has iron in it too! are you letting the pots dry out? if so you will usually see a cal mag issue if you let them dry out. keep em damp at all times FTW!
