How far away is your light from the canopy? What type of water are you using? Are you messing with the ph of your nutrient solution at all?

You're using a peat based soil. I don't know if any liming agents were added by the manufacturer but peat has a tendency to be very acidic, and will become more so over time as nutrients accumulate in the soil. You could be experiencing lock out due to this. Try raising the ph of the nutrient solution to 6.5 to 7.0. Each nutrient has a range where it is plant avaialable, and you could be missing that window if your solution is 5.9 and the soils ph is say 5.2. Anything that is bio available in the 6.2 to 6.5 range could be getting locked out.

Yeah, that might have something to do with it. Probably could have mentioned that. You said you were only giving them water but not for the past 3 weeks!
