It is normal for bottom leaves to turn yellow. How old are they how much light are they getting? They should bounce back.

Did you happen to use soil with time release fertilizer? That could account for the yellowing and stunted growth.

You're giving them too many nutrients, cut back on the feeding, only feed every other water or less with low low strength nutes at first (1/4 strength) and then slowly increase the strength.

You need more light.

You may be watering too often, wait until the soil is almost bone dry and lift the pot, remember how heavy it feels. Then give it enough water to moisten all the soil nicely, then don't water again until it feels dry (by picking it up).
