What are you feeding them? They need a complete fertilizer. You might also want to add more drainage in the pots- that helps with soil chemistry.
Also, decomposing wood chips/sawdust are bad for potted plants. I can't remember where I read the explanation, but I seem to recall a mention that decomposing wood actually scavenges N from the surrounding soil. I can't remember, but either way it's not good for young plants in pots. Save the mulch for older, established garden plants with good root systems.
thank you very much stinky, you have helped me out a bunch on past grows. the woodchips came with the soil i used but ill try and take them out i used the miracle grow soil with the 3 month of nutrients for young plants.. also i dont have anything to check the ph drainage to them i can do just gotta think of how i might just transplant them into another pot with some rocks ay the bottom then sand and dirt
