More pictures. I spoke to my local grow shop, and they said the issue was likely to be a lack of nitrogen. In truth, I haven't been feeding them nutes very often, but they're in Biobuzz Allmix soil. Put in some nutes with water yesterday, going to see how they get on.

They're still a little small to be needing any fert in that soil, so I'd say that it's a combo of overfert and not PHing your fert before feeding. First they got burned, and now they're starving.(nutelock, from low PH) The best way to save them would be to flush them with some PHed water, then transplant to a bigger pot with some new soil, and then don't give them any fert for awhile. :)

Thanks, going to get bigger buckets for them today. All the plants are starting to wilt now - whether that's related or not I dunno, but I hope I can save them anyway...
