Hard to say without seeing them. How old are they?
I fertilize very mild fish fert if any first 2-3 weeks.
They don't need much till you put them in the ground.
Good luck. Just put mine under lights this week.

Looks like a heavy dose of Nitrogen with those very dark green spots on the leaves.
Have you left it in the dark for too long?
Also, are you using well water? I have a problem with my water quality, the mineral content is so high that it would build up over time with each watering. When this is the case what happens is the pH is gradually raised to a point in which nutrients become unavailable to the plant. I strongly advise that you use rain or purchased water.

It could also be that your watering too often and the roots are suffering from lack of oxygen.

Last question, do you smoke? What's happening to the tops of those plants looks similar to tobacco mosaic virus but ia rare and could just be a major nutrient defiency.

I would repot them into larger containers with a different soil mix than what your currently using. Before doing that I would remove as much or all of the soil it's currently in, you can do this easily by spraying the soil with a garden hose until the roots are clean then transplanting.
