Nitrogen toxicity from feeding too much or too often, or both. Watering every day is a no-no, you should only water once the soil has dried from the previous watering, and only once the soil is dry to about an inch down from the surface. Feeding every three days in soil, even if only lightly, is too much. In soil, a schedule of plain water/plain water/feed/plain water/plain water/feed is best, and so that your plants are only being fed every 10-14 days. Soil "holds onto" nutrients quite well, so this is the reason for only feeding every 12 days or so. Watering to run off is vital too, if you do not do this, nutrient salts will build up in the soil to toxic levels and cause burning, like your plants are showing the symptoms of. It is also the only way to know that water has penetrated the entire way to the bottom of the pot, where most of the roots are/will be going. At this stage I would be only be giving plain water for the next 2-3 weeks or until healthy growth returns and not flipping to 12/12 until they have fully recovered too. Once you resume feeding, keep in mind the time frame I suggested and I am sure thinghs will pick up. Hope this helps, Organoman.

Looks like you had an over load of N. Also looks like you have a magnesium deficiency.

The two back plants look to be hurting and the front ones in your diary look ok. If their an intake vent aorund the sick looking ones? could the medium be getting to cold? They do in fact look like overwatering to me, so curious how you have determined it is not over watering? There could be an issue in the root zone like it being compacted and its not getting enough oxygen to them. Compound that with previous damage and this would not resolve just with fixing the waiting system in place till it has healed up. just a theory though need more info from you. The far right back plant also looks like its suffering from a deficiency of CalMg. but I see calmg is in your feeding regime. Are you monitoring your EC of the solution you are feeding? and the runoff coming out of the pots if your watering this way? This may help point you in the right direction. Also good to note with BioBizz is to let the mixed nutrient solution sit out for 12hrs to allow the PH to drift, then adjust it if needed. It is good to use it as low as 6.2 Lot of Questions to be answered, no one will be notified if if you tag them in this post, hit them up in the DM's Good Luck!
