the soaking wet soil is causing the plant to basically go into lockout which is why your yellowing.. the droopy leaves are your first sign to overwatering other than the fact you stated you water 2x a day..

It appears to me that that they are nute starved, especially N. You medium will hold either no nutes or very little, and I would use full strength nutes at this stage, and considering your medium, it should drain pretty quickly, and probably the plant has only a small root system, so that won't really hold much water also., I would water every other day, lightly. They need a boost in nutes, that's my opinion, and watch the overwatering. The medium should be moist, not wet (that is very important),

Agreed with over watering plus the vermiculite you have mixed in stays wet fir a good bit. Try watering 1 good time and wait till the leaves just about to droop then water again
