Well, there's compost and there's "compost" - which could be pretty much anything. If it's a mix you've used in the past - notwithstanding you've already got the moisture problem sorted - then obviously the "compost" isn't the culprit

I just did a search and it says that stuff is around 65-75% peat, so pretty close to a soilless mix. I don't know what sort of nutrient is in it, but you could try a light feed once the pots have dried out a bit. If it's a nutrient deficiency, it will clear up pretty quick with a light dose of NPK. Maybe check the pH of your run-off, too, as peat can be pretty acidic.

Sounds like they need a feed - roots are searching for nutes. I like fish emulsion - it's usually a good source of calcium and magnesium as well as NPK and other micronutrients.
I mean, of course I like fish emulsion - I'm a fucking prawn!

Well that answers that. If it were moisture stress, the roots would have suffered. If you've got big plants with big roots, then it's almost definitely an overall nutrient deficiency. Easiest way to tell is to look at all your plants: if you feed them the same, and the biggest plants are yellowing, then it points to a nutrient deficiency; if the smallest plants are yellowing, it points to nutrient lock-out from over-fertilisation. The main difference being lock-out is usually (but not always) accompanied by tip and margin burning.
So do you think the compost was the issue?

it could be the compost you may be right in your early assessment,
now i have repotted them , they still looking shit but roots are growing more rapid than the leaves, i have taken more cuttings to start again, but ill give it another week to see whats what !!
the stardawg is looking more healthier though
a pic of the fan leaf on the GG4, what do you think?? nutrient issue ??
