What do the roots look like? Are they brown and slimy? Are you off the spring water yet? Mineral salts in some tap water and some store bought stuff can damage the roots.
There are mutiple lock outs going on. Your PH should be ok for them so it's not PH. Heat shouldn't do that to them unless the light was right close to them. They will just transpire more when hot.
Does flora nova need a cal mag addative with the bloom cycle? I don't remeber what the purple veins on the fans mean but you have some pretty tell-tail signs for a few diff difficencies. I'd go do some reading on the subject. I'm and old hydro guy.. been years.. Just trying to help them ladie out for ya! Cal/mag, N def are what i would be addressing.
Edit: as i was reading my post, i thought too, maybe your air stone isn't oxygenating the water enough and fine root hairs are dying.. IF the nutrients are complete, and the PH is correct there aren't many links in the chain left to rule out.

The roots look pretty good, still all white, not slimy at all... I'm still using spring water, I have no way of obtaining Reverse Osmosis water... I can't afford a filter, and the store doesn't carry it. I thought FloraNova was pretty complete, but I'll look up some more info... I have an airstone under each root zone, I think theres pleanty of O2 in the water.

Hay man.
What i would do if i was you is stick to a feeding regiment and cut whatever you think you should give them in halve. I don't think they are missing anything, It looks more like something burned the shit out of them. They will smoke fin in the end. The MJ seems to do bettor when its not in the richest soil or in your case watter. Some things are good but it just looks like they have had enough stress from changes and way to much of a good thing.
I would also leave the door on that box open as much as possible. Let some good air in just in case the fans don't do the trick and make damn shur the temp don't get to high.
I have always had a green thumb. Don't know why but that is what my instincts would tell me to do for them girls.
Hydroponics is a pain in the ass. You can grow some fantastic shit but at the same time shit can go fantastically bad, FAST.
Looks awesome for a first timer jumping right into hydroponics. I did read this was your first right??? O well
Peace.

I've been using a converted lucas formula, halfed for the Autos... I'm thinking that the issue was heat, or tap water related, as I did have to use some tap water a few times, I left it out over night to evaporate the chlorine. I also took out the 23watt, and am now just using the 2-68 watts, new growth is green and healthy.

Yeah... I only used a few glasses worth, but it did float around from 4.7-7.0 for a couple days. This harvest should be pretty decent though, I'm only worried about the runt.

When i brew beer i leave the tap water out over night to let the crap evaporate. Tell me, do you have a water softener? Depending on where you live it very well could be the tap water. You can contact your water company and get some spec sheets on it. Find out whats in it and how much. Where i live and where i have lived the tap water has always been perfect, so i did not think about that.
If it is at all possible i would use soil for the next grow. If things go well then you have pinpointed your problem. If not then you know its above ground. Any who. Cut the dead shit off. Like when the tip of the leaf is brown then just cut the tip off. Its helped me in the past. Give it a try on one of them.
My taps just fine provided i use the correct SW formulation & at the correct PPM, PH stable.
