NEED 4 SEED

That's an easy one. It's shitty soil. Full of uncomposted wood. The decomposition of the wood steals nutrients from your plants.It starts out with a dull colored, dull looking sprout. As it grows, it maintains the "pea soup" coloration and dark glossy blotches form, often accompanied by a kink in the leaf (shown below)

As the plant grows, the leaves begin to curl downwards, and maintain the strange morphology.

The majority are effected. I see these signs in many LED gardens to lesser extent.

The below photo is color accurate. Notice the dark blotches near the petiole and mid leaf

Notice the glossy nature of the dark patches near the midrib of the below plant.

As the lesser affected plant progresses, the more affected plant continues to curl up and display deficiencies.

The heavily affected plants will continue to curl up and show any and all deficiency from the bottom up until leaf drop and it's inevitable slow death outruns the slow development of new growth, a process which can take several months.
