Mine get wilty when the sun gets hot on them but as soon as the shade hit them they perk right up.
I wouldn't say the leaves are yellow. The older leaves at the bottom get a bit splotchy around the edges but I thought that might just be normal.

They can really drink up some water too.

One thing I will add that could make a difference is for my wicking chamber I am using two 6 inch pots, one each on the ends. I cut the holes about 4 inches to reduce the amount of wicking. Maybe the two are making their "feet" too wet........

Last year when I pulled some plants a lot of the mix in the corners with one 6 inch pot was dry so I was trying to add some moisture. But even then I had the same issue with losing little cukes. What a puzzle.......
