hmm we gonna need some info on the setup.. lights, temp, PH, water and fertilizers are needed to tell some more.. looking at your soil I don't think is overwatering
question do the leaves feel crispy like to the touch? if so I would say its a magnesium deficiency. The yellowing of the leaves around the edges is a start. Are the veins green? I would say its a magnesium problem but then if none of the above is current then it could be a nitrogen problem. You have to look at all the symptoms the leaves have. Like for instance did the growth rate at all slow up? How doe the new growth look? Is there a weekness in the stems at all?

Hmm well I have them under a 1000w Mh light, I'm using the generl organism nutes as recommended, I did accidently let my room get up to 85 which was probably no good a few times, I've used distilled water an if i don't I make sure my Phis between 6.5-7, the branches seem to be green top sides are a light brownish maybe I water twice a week, how often should i flush my plants?? I cant really notice a growth stop, here is a pic of the branches...
Check your PH always like BS stated monitor closely. Even using distilled water you still have to check the PH. I use that also besides rain water and it still be on the "alkaline" side. Always PH your water. What ever goes into your medium can effect the plants. What type of organics do you use? The temp is ok as long as you mist your plants. Plants can stand a high temp just mist a couple times threw the day with water. A light mist, you dont want to burn your plants. It levels it down to a nitrogen deficiency. How big is the pot that your plant is in? if you have a 5 gallon pot just flush one good time using 10gallons of water. then start light on the nutes. Go with an organic that has NPK, High in the nitrogen though. Here are some that fixes nitrogen, there organic if thats what your using.

Some of these might raise or lower your PH so while your flushing I would mix what your using and let it bubble using an air pump for an hour or two then check the PH of the solution and then add it to your medium. The deficiency should recover in about a week but the leaves that been affected will not.
Wait Wait, is that burning or browning around the edges of the leaves? if its on the outer part of the leaves then its a potassium problem. And if its on the inner part of the yellowing its magnesium problem. If none of the above then ignore this and go with the nitrogen problem.
I would suggest for you to check out this link of deficiencies and read all of it so you can best match the problem. It has pictures so youll be able to tell using the discoloration in the leaves.

Yea I make sure I keep a close eye on it, I'm using what they recomend for Veg. Bio thrive grow, caMg, bio root, bio weed, an they say bio marine an diamond black is optional? Should i keep the last 2 nutes out? They are in 3gal, I feed wedenes days an water Saturday, it won't hurt the plants if I spray the leaves with water if I just fed them yesterday?? An i was using that fish emulsion 5-1-1 prior to me getting this general organics product
Everything you mentioned is good, but if your adding all those in one feed. I suggest you do your math with the % of each nute value because for every fert you give each nute % adds up. So to much of Nitrogen for instance can be a bad thing as for any other nutrient. So if you add 1/4 of one and its high in a nutrient check you other ferts and see how much is in those and only add half of that. For instance "CaMg" is calcium and magnesium so what ever other fert you have thats high in those you dont want to use alot of it or vise versa. I would only use 1/4 or less of the CaMg unless more is needed. Just do your math with the %'s of the nutrients thats in each bottle.
As for misting with water, its not a problem. Your only misting. Mist the water in a cloud like manner so there wont be no big drops of water on your plants leaves. Thats when burning will occur. One or two sprays light sprays are good. I mist my plants twice a day. Keeps the humidity above 50%. Just use water, NO nutes/ferts
If there in 3 gallon pots then flush with 6 gallons of water. I would only flush for an emergencies only though. Just try to figure out the deficiency and then add an organic that has a high % of that nutrient. If the problem gets worse then flush but wait a week for results before flushing. and since you just fed them yesterday wait on the flushing. Flush next feed if problem gets worse. you dont want to over water. Patience is better then rushing.
I highly recommend that you read that link before making any brass decisions
