sounds like they are pot bound and starving...

Root rot and pot bound are very similar in appearance but instead of the roots dying off from rot and causing specific areas of the plant to suffer, the roots redirect their sources to the top causing the lower leaves to die off in a similar fashion because they loose nutrition.

Some of that can be rectified by increasing your nutrient EC and increasing your frequency of feeding.. Or just pot it up and let it go some more.
