Welcome to RIU :hump:

I'm no pro, but you can probably ditch the superthrive at this point and try adding Cal-Mag at 1/2 strength to your feedings. Transplant soon and start flowering maybe a week later.
 
Are the two with problems directly under the bulb?

I think that light may be a little too close.

What temp is it at the plants?

temps are 82 under the light and 70 in the dark
I just moved the light to that position and I rotate them around every day
 
your plants look hot and I would drop your ph down to like a 6.3 looks like you could be coming into a nutrient problem if your ph is at 6.8 there are some essential nutrients that will not be allowed for uptake such as iron manganese zinc.... try bringing it down and see what happens.

82 is a little high IMO. 75f is groovy.

I hear you tho, if your rotating everyday they should all have that problem right?
 
the leaf edges will turn up when they are trying to dissapate heat and or start to have nute buildup try keeping your temps a tad lower like 75-78 when on and see what happens you could raise your light in the pic it looks too close
