I'd think about re potting soon (you could pot up the biggest plant now IMO) rather than adding nutes at this stage.

Yellowing most likely caused by over watering or pH issues, rather than depletion of the nutrients in the soil

Are you checking the pH of the water you are using? About 6 - 6.5 is good for soil.

How frequently are you watering? Overwatering stops air getting to the roots retarding growth and possibly causing rot.

add water when you lift those infamous red cups and they're light.

FG is right, re-pot.....personally I'd start the ferts.......diluted to start.

MFD....should indicate how to mix. I'd tell ya but i ain't familiar witht the nutes you mentioned.

One last thing.......when you re-pot, bring the soil up 2 inches or so....almost to the first set of leaves.

Show us how the re-pot went...

The plants will need time to sort themselves out. Repotting is a bit stressful for them but given the chance they should bounce back in a day or two.

They probably won't need much water for a while in those bigger pots. You might easily go a few days without watering at the moment. Keep the soil moist, not sodden. Don't let them dry out of course. You can tell when they need watering by the weight of the pots.
