Thats nute burn. Have you been giving it nutes? If not... then the soil must be a type that comes with time released nutes in it. Either way, its being burned by nutes and you need to do something about it right away or its dead. If you gave it nutes, flush the soil. If the soil has time released nutes in it... then get it out of that soil and put it in some nutrient free soil.

Oh f*ck! I just found out that the soil i've been using is filled with nutes. Thought it was plain dirt.

N - 37-65
P - 28-51
K - 17-62

This is way to much, right?

Babies can't have ANY nutes. They need to be in soil with no nutes at all.

How can I re-pot them without breaking the stems?

Wet the soil and then carefully slide it all out in one piece. Shake the soil off of the roots and try not to break them in the process.

I don't have any other soil and the stores are closed. What other options do I have?

Where do you live? If you live in America... then Home Depot and Wal-Mart aren't closed. You have no other options. Wal-mart has a cheap soil which contains no nutes. Its called Hyponex.

I don't see how you can use rockwool. The plant already has a root system. Rockwool is a solid piece which comes in a cube. How would you plan on getting the roots into it? I don't see how its possible. If I were you, I'd just get to the store as soon as it opens and get some nutrient free soil.

What about flushing the pots?

Flushing doesn't work when the nutes are time released.
