Dark green, especially if the leaf is glossy, indicates nitrogen OD. Just water for a week or so.

Aside from N OD, sounds like you have drainage problems, what's your medium?

Then the color means nothing. Also growing in peat is far more difficult than soil. Different strains grow at different rates also.

That is what I am trying to explain to you, peat is not soil. Its is very difficult to grow in and that is why most dont.
