Are you sure they don't have cabbage root fly or club root disease? If they
are like that and all 'floppy' I would say it's either one of those

No, they're not floppy -- it's just the leaves are discoloured and the
plants aren't as vigorous as the others. I haven't seen club root yet,
and touch wood I won't; I grow all my brassicas from seed.
