looks like over watering and a lack of good lighting and I would transplant into something bigger with good soil.

I agree, looks over watered and maybe it's drowning. Make sure you have proper drainage, because those roots might need some Oxygen.

Shit I saw them this morning and freaked out and added water. So I need larger pot for them? I'm using ff soil.

No you don't need a larger pot yet. You can go a bit longer in those pots but I would recommend a gallon of soil for every foot of vertical growth. You can pick up some buckets at home depot that work really well for 2.50 a piece. And FF soil is awesome (esp. ocean forest), so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Is there any way to bring them back after adding more water?

Just let the soil dry out a bit, don't worry too much about the lower leaves as long as new growth is still promoted and all the leaves don't turn that nasty yellow. Just cut the tip off and check the soil again in 24 hours. If the top inch is dry then water up. Never water more than once every 24 hours, they really don't need it.

Well I only water maybe every 4 days I use the finger test and if it feels dry 2-3 inches down then I water is that incorrect?

Yeah that's right, but if it's every 4 days then maybe it's not drying out fast enough which leads me to believe that you don't have proper drainage. A plant that size should absorb all moisture within a day or 2..

How should I go about fixing this issue?

Do you have holes drilled in the bottom of your pots? Is water actually draining at all?

If you do, then you might want to consider some more intense lighting that will help dry it up faster. What kind of lights do you have?

Yes the pots have 4 holes at the bottom and I see water coming out when I water. And I have a 250w hps

Cut back the amount of water then. Try maybe 10 ounces of water per feeding. Wait until the leaves start to droop a little before watering too.
