Judging by photo two, they do not look nice and healthy as you said. Looks like possible nute burn happening there, or it just needs water, possibly even bugs. We need more info on your regimen to get an even fairly accurate diagnosis though.

It sure does look like nute burn, what's your ppm's, your medium and you feeding schedule?

im growing outdoors due to the fact my maid put my 1000 watt ballast outside and it got wet...she doesn't work for me any longer. lol

im growing in soil, in 5 gallon buckets, with 5" of rocks in the bottom of the buckets, there are no foxfarm or other killer nutes down here, so i went to our version of home depot an bought a bag of powdered nutes, 10-55-7, i mix 3 teaspoons to 2 gallon of water and give water one time then nutes the next. i water every 2 or 3 days depending how hot it is and how dry the soil is. i also had my plants in a home built green house that was near a street light so the plants were not seeing very dark nights, i just move the greenhouse to another location on my property where it will be much darker at night. here is a pic of the plants. thx for any help. i will only give them water for a few weeks and see if this clears up. thx for any advice, rm

I think because your growing in buckets, the salts and excess minerals in your fertilizer aren't t washing away and you may be having pH related nutrient lockout. I would test your soil with one of those Rapitest Soil Test Kits. Use a sterilized pair of scissors and snip away the dead tissue. Then keep an eye on the new growth. See if the problem resolves itself by simply backing off the fertilizer.

The backdrop plants look to be haveing the same problem,..maybe acid rain, Just a guess but I`ve had rain damage before and it looks similar to this !!

i just moved them out of the green house to move it today, they have not been rained on once! do you think it would be wise to transplant them into the ground?

I don`t know the conditions around your greenhouse, Do you park near it or does your chimney draft down to it ?

They want out of those buckets for sure. Three feet ago you would only need simple gardening tools. I see a pick axe and spade in your future. You may loose two weeks growing time from the transplant at that age !!
