This is a tough one.
These are my best shots in the dark.
1. that yellowing pattern is distinctive...should not be too hard to peg with research. Seems like a nute burn, micro nutes out of balance, or root problems from too much water???
2. Very Likely way over-watering, but if not it's likely over-feeding and/or lockout.
3. Ask yourself...where can you simplify?...i.e. ditch the lime? it seems like you are doing everything right...but perhaps too too right?...over-doing feeding?, thus salt build up???
4. A good soil flush(lots of gallons poured through soil- in the shower/tub) and a fresh transplanting could help as triage.
Maybe you could PM community member ograskal who grows in the same soil mix as you and uses the same nute line...as I recall.
wish I could be more helpful.

Sounds like Core has it pegged. It kind of makes sense that it could be ph given that you seem to be doing everything right.
I'd follow Core's lead, get a ph tester and some ph adjuster and get real good at testing your water/food and runoff. Ph would be an obvious thing to cause lack of availability/absorption of a micro that is causing those very 'lack of a micro' looking leaves.
I'd like to see where you go with this so I can learn something new. I've never had ph problems...as yet.

dont take runoff it is't that accurate 2 begin with.... also ime....
take some distilled water and take a soilsample not just from topsoil... mix that up wait 5 minutes,test that ,and you have accurate ph....
i think its 2 high in this case....but thats just my
if you know correct ph you can rule it out...if thats not it it will almost deffenetly be the nutrients...proces of elimination my friend..:wink:

Your adding alot of potassium especially with the maxicrop and molasses. Potassium and magnesium compete with each other to get into the plant. Too much potassium can cause a deficiency of magnesium. Try drenching the pots with 1 teaspoon epsom salts per gallon of water.
