zinc def? or other problem.. please help!

so i started a grow journal so that i would get feedback and not one person seems to respond to my journal so i have come to this section to get an answer about what is going with my plants...

a few of them are starting to get this yellowing starting at the top leaves in the center and working its way outwards.... HELP ME!!

thats one of the best plants iv'e seen all week man, need more pics of problem man

ok. so here is some more pics of the hurting plants.. they dont look that bad in the pics but up close they hurt me deep down...

pic #1 is just plain hurting
pic #2 is that yellowing i was talking about.. look on the lower leaves... it is happening on the upper leaves of another plant too...
pic #3 is my garden as of now(i just wanted to show it off)

Other than some leaves that look eaten, that plant looks very healthy to me. I see no yellowing in that pic.

lol.. the plants werent eaten.. the person that i am getting the clones off of cuts the hell out of the leaves as he clones them so that they retain water better and root easier...

and it is much harder to see the yellowing when the HPS is on.. but trusst me, it is present

Looks like you are in a soil/perlite medium. How long have they been in that medium? Are you giving it nutes?

i recieved these rooted clones about 9 days ago.... yes i am feeding them nutes... check my grow journal... this is my very first grow and i am trying to post all the info in my grow journal...

Ok...stop giving it nutes for now. If they are in soil, they should have enough nutrients in the soil to sustain it for the first month. Adding nutes could quickly lead to nute burn. Give it plain water for the next week or so and see if they improve. Yellowing could also be as a result of insufficient Nitrogen. If the plain water doesn't work over the week, consider adding a solution of epsom salts to the plant. GL.

i will do exactly that. i was planning on flushing them to see if it would help but i will just water with plain water for a little while...

thanx again for the help... keep up with my grow journal if you can, i will make sure to keep you posted on the progress..
