1&4 need to have feeding begin. Low N.
I suspect the others to be not far behind in needing feed.
Half strength nutrients, every other watering.
pH ingoing to 6.5 till you up pot with quality soil.

I think they look burned from nutes. Whats the soil and are you feeding them yet OP?

I see minor nitrogen burn, and possibly the beginnings of a deficiency of some kind.

Edit: removed other comments as I misread PH as 4.8 instead of 5.8.

Looks like N burn to me.

Thats a minor burn from "hot" soil and the pH flux from when they were first transplanted.
Time to begin low nute feeding.
The light green new growth says so!

wow, you feed at a ph of 5.8? that's for hydro. if it's soil, i'd feed at 6.5. you might try getting a bit of run-off when watering/feeding. it may wash out your prob.

Yes that PH is too low.
Besides that, with a light feeding and a good watering they will grow out of it, probably be a week behind 'schedule'.
Everytime i use cheap soil or overfeed my small plants, the exact same thing happens.
I would say to flush them out real good (make sure theres a shit ton of drainage holes in your pots), wait a couple days for soil to dry a bit, then a light veg feeding. They will be fine.
From my experience, EVERY time I skimp on the soil, i regret it.
