Yellow deformed new leaf growth (PICS)

This is week 5 of growing and less than 1 week of flowering. This yellow growing is seen on both of my plants. The soil is Fox Farm ocean forrest, which we just transplanted them into about 10 days ago. I haven't fertilized them yet, but i plan on using Fox Farm Big Bloom. The water pH is 6.5. The rest of the plant is really healthy.

I'm assuming that it's some kind of micronutrient deficiency, possibly zinc?

looks fine to me give em a chance to get some light and activate the chloriphill although there is something going on give em a 1/4 dose of food and maybe some cal/mag plus I had some issues with real yellow new growth and i gave some flowering nutes and some cal/mag plus and 1 week later they are beautiful check out my grow journal and i have pics with the yellow growth and then my newest pics show the difference

LOL this is not pH or Nitrogen. This is a micro nutrient
most likely Iron, Zinc, or Calcium. Those newer pics show
a potassium deficiency.

Alright. I gave them a half of the recommended dose of Big Bloom: .01-.3-.7. I'll wait and see if they get better, if not, i'll get some cal-mag plus

Right now i only have 330 watts of light over the 2 plants. It's 9 bulbs total but they could really use more light. I plan on getting a few more 42W cfls.

My 2 plants look great now. There's still some yellow in the new leaves but nothing like they were before. I guess they were just hungry :p
