yellow leaves

on 4 of my grafts the leaves of the pereskiopsis are turning yellow and falling off but 4 other grafts are fine along with 2 just plain pereskiopsis.
now the 4 that are going bad are all of the same graft (bridgesii) and they are all in the same exact conditions.
does any one know why this could be?

How is the graft itself, it could have got some dirt in it and became infected.

well the graft itself is fine the water is a nutral ph and I have them in fresh miricral grow cactus soil
you dont think the soil could be so strong as to burn it could you
but the thing is its only in 4 while the other 6 have the same soil water and every thing

Can you get pics? Maybe its the transition of hot fla sun to flourescent tubes? Im not sure of that though. Or possibly the medium is different? Is it the bridgesiis from me?

When they were here they hardly ever got fed. I hardly ever feed my cactus just water. These were also in a soiless medium, of peat, perlite, and verm, so there wasnt many nutes for them to feed off of except for the rare feedings.

I don't think it's chemical burn from miracle grow, I can't think of anything other then something wrong with the graft.
EDIT: You say they are transitioned I didn't think of that, could be them adjusting the the difference.

yeah if it went from Fla sun to flouro thats probably the problem. They like lots of light. Maybe put them closer and use more powerfull flouros. I overdrive my 4 foot T8's to 2x but they could go as high as 4x. In this pic is standard T8 bulbs at 6500k and in the middle is T5 HO and on the right is 2x overdriven T8's. As you can see the spectrum on the overdriven ones matches the T5 HO's better. Also I turned down the brightness of the image....

should I do a longer light cycle than 12/12?
heres my set up
I am quoting from a previous thread of mine
"so here is how I plan to grow these over the winter (I will be adding to this of course) they are under 2, 4 foot 40 watt florescent bulbs with the color spectrum at 6500 and the lumens from each is 3050 for a total of 6100 lumens
Now the light is about 6 inches away from the tallest grafts. is that to close to far away?
what should be my lighting cycle for these? 18 on 6 off? or 12 and 12?"
so what am I doing wrong on 4 out of the 10?
