It's showing a nutrient deficiency. It's hard to tell exactly what, maybe magnesium or iron. But the solution is not always to add more of what is being shown as deficient. PH problems can lock out nutrients sometimes, or if too much of one nutrient is present, it locks out others. Root rot can also be the culprit, especially if the media gets cold and mucky.
If you decide you want to add a fertilizer, probably a cal-mag plus iron would be my choice. I have a jug of the stuff from Botanicare: http://www.botanicare.com/Assets/Pro...lMagGallon.jpg |

Yeah, getting rootbound was probably the issue. You should be fine after transplant.
