I have two plants. The two sets of pics (one here and one in the next reply).

Water pH is 7 BEFORE adding nutes (not sure how much after).
18-24hrs of light
very slow growth and new leaf sets are narrow and small.
I feed every 2nd watering with 10-15-10 and Epsom salt.
I recently added blood meal (1tsp/plant) but the probs had been going on before that. First looked like a nitrogen def.

Yes, your plants are showing multiple dificiencies, which usually indicates a pH problem. You need to complete a soil run-off test to get an idea of where your pH is. Once you know that, we should be able to figure out how to fix your problem.

thanks... thing is I don't have a pH meter (else I prob wouldn't have this problem). Are there any alternative solutions to my problem? Maybe I can increase pH on one plant and decrease on another?

Nah, you dont want to adjust the pH without knowing what its at right now.
If meters are too expensive or hard to find in your area, a liquid pH test kit is cheap and will give you an estimation.
I will proly get berated for this, but you can always go out and buy something, run your tests then return it

Right now garden centers have soil test kits on sale. I bought mine last year. I think is was around $10. It tests PH and all nutrients.

It works great.
