I'm a little new to this but here is a brief Idea of what I think is happening. your sunflower on the drain side does not get the amount of nutrients as the one on the intake side for obvious reasons, therefore not as healthy. also same goes for oxygen. not as much left at the end of the bed. also amplified by the depth of the beds. wet plants can obviously wilt, but its generaly due to low oxygen levels. just something I've learned from taking cuttings.
My pumpkin plants in the soil garden have the same yellowing on the older leaves while the new growth is vibrant green. I thought it was normal. Actually, all of my squashes and watermelons are the same way too.
I've tried 3 times to transplant strawberry plants from a shady area to better locations (1 in soil garden, 2 to hydroponics garden). All have wilted - just like your sunflower.
I'll try to remember to show this vid to my wife, she might have some insight.
