Looks like heat or air circulation could be factor.

[No5moke4me]

Air circ seems steady and the temp goes between 75-78

They don't like the soil they're in, have you checked the PH? A little worm castings go along way too much and it water logs the soil. They look over watered what's the PH of the water and why did you give them MG? Those pots are too small for the size of plants. What kind of light are you giving them?

^^^ what lipps says. Either too wet, or too strong a soil or both. More fertilizer isn't going to help. Transplant into a larger container with a good medium and see.

What type of medium would u suggest

That's really for you to decide for yourself. You can grow hydroponically in pure perlite or many other inert mediums. Or you can try a soil-less grow of coco coir, Pro Mix or both or organic soil with probiotics. They all can work great.

I was gonna mix it with perlite in 6" pots. Will that work or should i go bigger

[No5moke4me]

And can i put the current soil less medium its in, in the new medium or will that mess it up being two mediums. Or should i like knock all the current medium off the rootball.

Worm castings with soilless medium makes the medium very soggy and muddy, I suggest you don't add it and make it a tea instead. Mixing mediums is fine.
