Well I decided to either kill them or cure them. So I added the full dose plus a little extra, of all purpose fertilizer, a shot of 5-1-1 "worm poop" fertilizer, some Epsom salts, and a little pH down. Mixed all that in 2 gallon watering containers and gave them a good soaking. That was a few days ago and they are starting to come back. So I guess the plants had just taken up all the nutes - or at least the N, and needed more. Whatever it needed I seem to have given it now.
