How do the roots look? What is your pH? What PPMs are your running? How old is the plant?

Yes, please add a little more background detail. Starting with about 2 weeks ago, what's the history of the plants in question?
All three were in a single container with soft water and a low PPM of GHE Flora.
They started showing these signs so I moved them each to their own container and filled it with a medium amount of GHE flora and soft water.
pH is 5.8 as always.
If it is an issue of them receiving too little light, I think they might not make it. I've had that happen before.. but those plants were in complete darkness because of a power outage.

Could be fusarium or some other fungi, could be the nutes are too strong for those two. They're definitely fried. What's a .... oh wait.
Ok, so soft water (potassium chloride?), only GHE flora(?) and a "medium" amount of them. Soft water is not ok, GHE Flora only is not ok, what do you consider to be a "Medium" amount of nutrients?
You're going to need to find a clean source of water, a balanced mix for cannabis of GHE (probably some of all 3 parts) and a starting pH of 5.4. As the plants eat the nutrients, the pH will rise up to 5.8-6.0'ish. Add nutrients until pH hits 5.4 again. It's a healthy, natural pH swing the plants love in DWC.
Start with 500ppm and adjust up or down, depending on how the plants look/respond.

Then I would say probably fusarium (which is a fungus) or something biological. Soft water produces a lower quality product. I somehow read GHE Flora as GHE Bloom. *facepalm* You're fine with GHE only, it's Bloom only which would be a problem. lol
