Take a look at this:

Might help you figure out where you went wrong. But looking at your middle plant, it does look like it's suffering from toxicity, rather than deficiency.
Basically, nute burn; I'd say flush her and stay off the nutes until you see a positive result.

Oh and I think the clawing might be pH being too high or low. I had this problem in my first grow but never managed to get rid of it since I didn't have a pH meter lol.

look like nute burn.

Also you should not have 2 plants in the same pot. why? because their will join roots and start stealing nuts and energy from each other untill the one with stronger genetics eats the other + stunted growth.

Tell that to nature.

Plants can naturally grow if they both have space for two root systems. That's all. As for 'stealing' the plants will share nutes.

yes if they both have space.. outdoor plants i.e can get roots over 10-20 meters straight down. but im sure that 10 L pot wont be a problem youre right.
go read a book

Are you using Mykos? I was recently recommended that and it turned out the results where amazing.

looks like over watering in some pics, some nute burn and maybe temp problems.
Whats it like for temp in the box,? and how often do you water?
How big of pots, how much water?

It is a salt build up... and give them baby's a rest 20/4 is better than 24/0 for both your lamps and plants

Im also one to believe plants need the rest too, I do 18/6, I talk to someone that does 16.5/7.5

Hey Guys, probably is nute burn, I watered them for a week straight and the new growth looks fine.

I'll flick the times over tonight.

I'll post some pics in a few days.

The temps vary heaps as it's winter here in Aus. and they are in a shed which gets hot when ever theres a sunny day, but generally the cool keeps them at a nice 20(c) degrees.
