what size pot's are they in ?
How many fans are blowing on the plants ?
What is your humidity and daytime temps ?
Help me answer these and maybe we can help you ?

Ok well that all seems fine ,
All i can say is are you watering them fully , when you water make sure it is draining out of the waste holes in the pot , make sure the pot feels heavy, they shouldn't need watering more than every 2-3 days...

My thought as well - bigger pots !
Also, being unfamiliar with the medium you are using - I wonder if it is draining too quickly?
1) How much water are you putting into the pot?
2) How much water comes out?

It sounds like your media may be draining too well due to excessive pearlite etc...
Also, your 1 gallon pot is going to be too small for a mature plant - Were I you, I would repot into some good soil (super soil comes to mind) in a 4 or 5 gallon bucket that has drainage holes in the bottom.
