Could be magnesium deficiency.
I'm not sure if we're allowed to post links here.. Otherwise I'd post the site where I got those pictures from.
A small dose of epsom salts might help.

what kind of mix you using?
nutes?

Nope. Mg def makes the leaves turn upward. Looks like a potassium def. Are you using any seaweed or kelp? May be Nitrogen burn too. Give more info.

Party on the mothership! It's the early early early signs of a def alright! Certainly not N burn as the plant is very splotchy green and not the serious dark I'd expect.
Nope my friend, I believe you are either using some soil with zero nutes OR your pH is off in the soil. Did you throw in 2tbsp of lime/gal when mixing it up? My guess would be no - as that's the only time I've personally seen that kinda splotchiness.

simpleton, if you tell us your nute regimen, what your soil mix is made of, when you last fed, what you fed with, how much, etc etc, it'd help a lot.
i would guess you have too much salts in your soil causing burns, and pH changes that lock out other nutes. but that cant be verified till you give us more info.

When the 6 topped plants were in the 4" containers I gave em a very light dose of fish emulsion and the normal molasses/karma water. They reacted a little to those nutes by showing this yellowing so I moved them out of the 4 inch and into the 1 gallon containers.
When first placed into the Supersoil/perlite mix they looked like they were gonna take off. But growth has been slow. The yellowness is pretty much isolated to the older leaves that developed while in the 4" containers. All new growth is pretty much green but still slow.
I did not add any lime to this mix just supersoil outta the bag mixed with perlite. I am thinking that initially the nutes may have been a little strong and they didn't like it. And secondly, the mix they were moved to didn't have a stable ph and is what is contributing to their present growth rate/conditions.
I have oyster shell lime that I mixed into the flowering mix. I transplanted the untopped clone into this mix to check for nute strength. Even under fluorescent lighting the plant looks great and is showing no signs of overfert probs.
I really don't want to move these topped clones into this flowering mix as they have only been in the gallon pots for a little over a week. I am thinking the roots are not distributed throughout the pot and may incur damage by a transplant. I think I could be careful enough to do the transplant.
But...
What do you think?

i'd try putting them in bigger pots.
are they rootbound?

Like I said, I don't see any potassium in you mix. Try adding some Maxicrop or Cal Mag Plus.

WTF is this...

Dry, scratched into the surface or liquid applied with irrigation?
This plant seems to be really finicky regarding it's needs and wants. I haven't figured them out yet. I was able to get the plant to perform during the winter with a simple mix of supersoil, perlite, and shultz 10-15-10. Nothing else. The plant threw out some doozies of very high quality meds.
I am aware I am facing a bit of a learning curve going into organics and understanding the fundamentals of a 'living soil' but jeeze.
