What are the plants planted in?
What do you feed them?
How often do you feed them?
How often do you water?
Indoors or outdoors?
If outdoors, what has the weather been like?
Any previous issues with pests or disease?
Are you a new grower?
.
Even when something looks like one thing - say a nutrient deficiency - if we look at the root cause, it might be something very different. A plant not being able to use the nutrients that are already there, looks exactly the same as not having them, due to something like heavy soil, or excessive rain. So you'll have to tell us more.

... and bigger pictures. 1000pxl min.
Along with Solid7's request I'd like to add to DragonsFire's request of larger pix along with what you consider the problem? I see wrinkled & yellowing leaves along with some black spots.......
I would say over watering and the soil a bit solid.
The Neem will take care of that.

It's very hard to tell what all is wrong. From the start, it looked to me like a general nutrient deficiency. The aphids doesn't help. So why don't we try tackling one problem at a time?
.
I would suggest first that you get the Neem going, right away. Use a 2:1 ratio of Neem to soap. (must be soap, NOT detergent) Mix this in a separate container, with a small amount of warm water. When it's fully blended, pour it into the water that you'll spray. Do this every 7-10 days for at least 3 weeks. (and afterwards, at least once a month as a preventative)
.
As for the watering. How about you just don't water it for awhile? Let's just say... 3 days. If the plants are outside, even if they droop, just withhold water. If they don't spring back during the night hours (when it's been dark for a few hours), then you'll need to add just a bit of water. In general, you want to keep these plants as dry as they will tolerate, until you figure out how exactly to water them. If it doesn't improve, you may need to replant them in another mix.
