They can wilt from heat or lack of water or a combo. For the greenery you got goin Id say they need more water. Its an awesome strain when left to full maturity, and a good strain when harvested early.

What size are those containers, you may have a bound root condition developing.

They're 5 Gallon pots, so I doubt if that's an issue.

I water ever 3-4 days or so, with about 1.5g water.
Not sure on the humidity, I need a meter. The pool of gravel they sit in is saturated with water from drainage, so I think that may be evaporating and making it humid but idk.

You may be drowning them too, You need to be able to check the ph of your runoff water as well as the ph of your nutrient solution. a cheapo ph meter off ebay or amazon is a must have. Those ph dirt meters will not tell you what you need to know.

Not vegging, almost 2nd week flowering. It's about 8-10" away.

How could I be drowning them? I thought that, if anything, I was watering them too little. Yea I'll def pick up a meter.
Thanks for the advice and observations, appreciated!

Well I got a PH tester. It's made for pools, and I realized, after I got home, that it only reads down to 6.8, but it's all I could find anyways. I don't know how you guys get all your supplies, but I can't find jack shit around here. Went to multiple grocery stores and gardening sections, and couldn't find Black Strap Molasses or simple PH testers (plenty of soil ones though). I settled for regular, un-sulfared molasses. Hopefully it will still create the desired effect. Still lookin to add another nute to the line up though. I was thinking Snowstorm Ultra?

for water ph i use these: http://cgi.ebay.com/pH-Test-Kit-Gen...053?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e640c17fd i only paid $7 for mine at my local hydro shop. and if you lived by me i'd give you my blackstrap i dont use mine anymore. whats your molasses say for value % on the label? for macro and micro that is. and for nutes thats up to you if you add anymore nutes to your line up. im fazing out GH nutes and switching to jack's classic duo, i may also add dyna-gro to my lineup.

Looks pretty nice. So do you take the cuttings inside?

I take them in until they root.

Should I check the PH of the water that has ran through the soil, or the water in my bucket before I use it? And should I put the nutes in before? This was taken out of my bucket, after nutes.
Oh and how are da' buds lookin'?

buds are looking good from where im sitting 
i test ph before i water, and check runoff here and there. i grab about the last 3oz of runoff water to use to test my runoff.

I finally went and picked up a legit PH tester. My tap water reads at about 7-7.5, but after adding nutrients it falls to a nice 6.4-6.7. So I don't really know if I have an issue. I'll test the runoff next time I water them.
So one AI has some pale veins, and generally thin and deformed new-growth, while the other lady, who may actually have the nicest buds (atm), has claw leaves.It seems that the more searches I run on these issues the more more questions I have. I gave both those plants straight tap water yesterday.
But the third plant looks pretty darn healthy, and all the buds look decent. The SSU looks to be doing something, because the buds and leaves show more crystals than my last AI (If my memory serves me). They aren't very fat yet, but they have time.
The plant in pic 2 has the claws.
