What are you growing in? If that's coco it needs to be fed every day. If not, they are still hungry and need feeding.
Dont make a tea from ewc, just topdress a little and water.
It seems your growing in coco/perlite mix, ewc won't help too much in that mix, try giving salt nutes and ph your water to 6.2
Other than that your environment sounds on point, imo, just transplant them into larger pots with amendment soil and water only.
If you know how to and when to feed, coco/perlite mix is also a choice.

Seemed to have a ph issue last grow using gh trio
29 days in that cup...
They are simply rootbound and suffocating themselves from being able to take water/nutes.
You should
A, Transplant to a bigger pot.
B, If you use ffof in the next pot, don't add any nutes, just ph water until they recover.
ffof has plenty in order to recover your plants to normal growing conditions.
make sure your next pot is at least double and even triple in size from your last pot.
Later on you can start adding nutes, again, according to what the plant is showing you.

Do your cups have holes in the bottom?
I personally had garbage experiences with teas as well. Plants are fine now.

Yes they have plenty of drainage holes
Diluting ewc in water is non logical.
Works better just topdressing and watering as normal on it.
Maybe some other powder/dry organic amendments is better when diluted in water but I don't know.
A solid tip about ewc, you want them fresh, moist, not sour smelling.
For ph down adjustment: lemon juice
I only use it, starting to run out of lemons haha
Up pot them with a nice ffof, water with 6.4 ph and be patient.
With your environment, 2 weeks and they will be big healthy bushes.
28-30c and 60-80rh is the recipe for explosive growth, just cover everything else and your good to go.

Organic is best when you're working with a complete soil, and you keep top dressing with what the soil needs over time, so you really just need to add water/tea. Running organic nutrients through a medium that doesn't meet the requirements to sustain an organic ecosystem is a recipe for problems. I'm sure someone has done it, but I don't think it's worth the extra hassle.
It's actually very easy combining coco and organic, you gotta have peat in there, something that meets the requirements of an ecosystem like you said.
Coco on itself is inert so it won't support such as system.
Also organic mixes with coco need a large enough pot if your planning on running water only without adding salts or topdress.
But it's also so easy, just topdress over your pot and water.
People do it, wait 1 hour for their deficiency to go away and when it don't work, they are perplexed.
Soil, with or without coco needs time, patience is key with organics.
