They are all getting worse. If I don't do something soon they are all going to die...
What kind of soil/ nutrients are you using if any? Flush with PH'd water. 3 times the volume of your pot worth of water. If your pot is 1 gallon then run 3 gallons through it. That's where I would start.

Sorry help was a little slow coming this time... but, too early to throw in the towel. JM's earlier advice was spot on. I agree with Tavid and most importantly, we can't help until you have gotten the pH issue managed. Also, knowing your growing medium can go a long way in helping us to help you.
Additionally, I have two questions based on what I think I saw in the images: The soil in the cups looked very dry compared to the soil in the big pot. Are you watering both? If not, you should be watering both, separately. Also, I wouldn't ask this but I have to since I ran into it once with a new grower... you did cut the bottom out of the beer cup before placing it in the big pot, correct?
Like JM said, you either have a deficiency or your nutes are locked out by your pH being off.... either should be fixable based on the images I've seen.

Soil in cups is Farfard seed starter potting mix. Soil in buckets is fox farm ocean forest.
Ha yes the Bottom of cup was cut before seed was planted ( 2 cup tier method).
Have been watering both cup and bucket separately.
I have noticed very small white bugs walking around in the
OF soil???
Thanks Joe.

Update. Finally got my pen. My water had a Ph of 8!!! Yikes. I bought molasses and it took the ph of the solution down to 4-5. I've done 2 feelings since then. Still seems to not be getting any better? Sould I flush the soil? My only concern is I would be flushing it with water that has a ph of 8??? Here are some pics.

You need to check the pH of your run off. When you feed, given enough so that about 10% runs out the bottom of the pot. Capture that and test it's pH. That will give you a better indication of what the soil pH is. That's the number that is the important one. You may also need some pH Up and Down. If you do end up flushing you'll need the pH down to adjust your water to an acceptable level.
