I'm wondering if its magnesium – based on that image of the lightness starting at the tips and moving inwards.
I have been suspicius about that too. From my own research that is the deficiency that comes closest. But I have added a mixture of calcium and magnesium to the soil which didn't help. That's why I'm wondering if it could be something else. But thank you for the reply

It would be helpful if you could wrap your images in BB code, so that we don't have to click out to view them.

Anyway, we can't just rush into a single nutrient based assessment of the problem. You have a 45 degree temperature differential between night and day. I can't help but think that this is affecting uptake. But let's put a pin in that, for now.
.
What type of mix are you using in your containers?
.
What is the exact fertilizer that you are using?
Thank you very much for the reply
Next time I upload pictures I'll try the BB code thing. I agree it's alot easier to se the pictures that way.
The potting soil I use is a mixture of store bought potting soil with added peat moss, and compost. It is difficult to see in the pictures as I'm using mulch.
I reuse the soil year after year and in the beginning of every season I add a bit of fresh compost to rejuvenate the soil. Maybe it isn't enough though. Should I perhaps make some compost tea to help the soil life?
But yeah the cold nights we have in Denmark sometimes are annoying,
and I have also been suspicious that it could be a problem too.
The fertilizer I use is not a 4-1-5 as I wrote earlier. It is a 3-1-4. It is an all round liquid fertilizer and I have been adding half strength in every watering. Perhaps thats not enough
The fertilizer components:
Nitrogen: Urea; 0,5% Ammonium; 0,3% Nitrate; 2,0%. All water soluble. Which the P and K also is.
It contains micronutrients too.
Hope that is what you meant. And can help further in the investigation

Seems like the BB code thing works for me
