looks like N deficiency and over watering. ease up on the water, stick your finger an inch or two deep in the soil and see if its moist. if dry water, if moist wait another day. Get a ppm meter.
 
Feed last night and they seem worse today but will give it another day and see. We upped the nutes from 2.5 ml/l to 5 ml/l last night.

yeah its hard for me to tell by ml or manufacturer recommendations. You really need a ppm or EC meter. You just don't know if the formula is too strong or weak. But they definitely look like they are drowning. Ease back on watering, foliar feed for a few days if you need to. You will get root rot if you keep drowning them and stunted growth.

Hi Kevin slow down on the nutes. and when you water then that is when they are 85-90% dryish. first use 1/2 cup straight water. then use 1/2 nutes on your bottle. dotn use full strength. i need to make a doc so i can copy this and paste it. The only way you can use 100% of what it says on bottle is if you are using a soilless solution that has no nutrients and you are using big high power lights. also what is your ph at? i bet its off allot. you want to be around 6.5 ph. So right now i would flush each plant with the same amount of water that you have for soil then mix up a gallon of 1/2 strength nute water and water each one its okay if allot of water runs out still. it looks like they was dry and you watered with strong nute water adn it shocked the heck out of them and burnt them. never add nute water to a dry pot. plain water first.
Love and peace

first of all let them dry up before you can flush, you can flush when the first 2 inches of soil is 100% dry, this might take a 3 days to a week depending on your soil mix, meanwhile foil feed them every 2 days, best of luck mate.

well I see the burnt tips, I also see a deficiency, and they look over watered. Burnt tips could be from a past feeding, however the yellowing in the lower leaves is telling me they need nitrogen. The yellow leaves will slowly get green again if they havent gone too far. I'd say I'm almost 100% on this, but they're your plants. Maybe some other growers will chime in.

if you have a fish air pump and place the air stone in a bucket of water for 2 hrs it will be full of oxygen then you can flush. but leaving the hot soil will do more damage then flushing the hot nutes out. if water is oxygenated then the roots will be okay i forget to mention that as i dotn have to worry about it with my system.
