What kind of deficiency is this?

It’s not my first time growing. But it’s my first time growing in pots and containers. I typically grow in the ground.

been fighting with some deficiencies on a few plants. Not sure if it’s nitrogen, or magnesium or sulphur now....

they’re getting bat guano 4-8-2 by Green Gold once a week since the beginning.

ive used a 2:1 ratio of peat moss and potting soil. In the beginning.

I top dressed them last week with worm castings, Bukashi, galcier Rock dust, and I be been giving them molasses twice a week.
I inherited these plants. they belonged to one of my best friends he’s since passed away. So I’m taking care of them now.

any help is greatly appreciated

Have you transported the plants over from your late buddies place?
You see, I'm not qualified to talk about deficiencies but it seems there is not over much wrong looking at the pics.
Respectfully, if they've moved house and lost their dude grower.....they may be simply pineing.

I'd give them time.
Stay well.
 
Check your water pH if on a well that can be problematic if its not between say 6-7.3pH

I'm on a well with water pH at 9-10pH after RO filtering. So thats a problem in containers. In soil in the ground not as much due to soil buffering.

Also if you're outside in containers they like a lot of soil. So if you're in anything under a 5 gal pot you're gonna struggle a bit.

I'd stop giving them sugar. Its not necessary and it can actually prompt anaerobic bacteria to thrive if you over water or the soil is damp all the time. Sugar you can add to your compost tea and with plenty of aeration that wont be a problem if you dont aerate too long (+36hrs).

Sorry for your loss.
