Okay so here's my situation. I am running a 150+ watt cfl system to what was 4 plants. They are all still vegging and aren't huge by any means though they were growing quite well. About 4-5 days ago I transplanted these plants from being in the same pot (bad idea) and put them all in their own pots.
They grew well for 4-5 days, I was careful to feed them fully. Took things slow and whatnot. The day before yesterday I added a few more bulbs to my system, I added some 2700k lights (about 80 watts of them) to my current veg box to use as supplemental lighting.
The day I put the lights in things were going well. I go to bed, wake up the next day, and one of my plants in almost entirely dead. Looks drooped over and all the leaves are practically entirely brown here is a picture to give you an idea of what I mean (sorry for shit quality):
I thought maybe it was getting to hot in the box. I honestly have no way of monitoring temps now. I do however monitor everything else. I'm running two intake fans that bring in cool air with one hole for export (which quite a bit of air pushes out of).
Anyhow, I took the newly added lights out. Ran the original light set up yesterday and raised the lights a tad, everything looked good. Go to bed, wake up this morning. Another plant gets the same thing. But the plant effected this time was definitely one of my healthier plants that I had.
I'm scared everything is going down this route since I only have 2 plants left that are in "good health." Though one of them appears to be following the same path as the others.
here is a link to my grow journal so you can get an idea of where I've come from and where I'm at now:

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I only have 2 plants now, are my other plants still possible to revive? They are both looking just as the above picture looks. I know the plants may still be able to survive though I need to find out the source to this problem. I can't lose everything! That's depressing!!!!
Edit: I should add, the soil these things came in initally was from a friend. This shit wasn't the best soil to use and it had gnats in it. When I transplanted the plants the gnat problem basically went away. The soil that they were originally in had little larvae in it munching through the dirt. This is gross to me by the way. Though I transferred them into "clean" soil, the gnats are still slightly there though not NEARLY as bad. So maybe the gnats are causing this? Maybe it was their larvae I saw? Like I said I don't know what the problem is but I DO know that I'm not running soil with my next grow. It's going in DWC just to avoid bugs and soil problems.
Also I check my PH, and my nute feeds PH runs around 6.0-6.3 Not bad, doesn't seem like this could be my problem so help me out!!!
List of possiblities I've thought of:
-gnats
-overfeeding (possibly, can explain feed schedule if needed).
-nute burn?
-Overheating
-Shit soil in general, though this seems unlikely to me.
