Nothing has been mentioned about temperature or humidity... The leaves are curling down at the margins probably due to high humidity? I also grow in a tent and without a dehumidifier during lights off humidity skyrockets to atleast 80%, which isn't optimal for growth. Plants also need at least a 10-15 degree range in temperature because carbohydrates are manufactured during lights on and without this drop in temperature, plants lose these carbs to respiration rather than using them for tissue production/growth. So the products of photosynthesis are being used at a faster rate than they are being produced.

The humidity is fluxes between 40 and 50 percent . Which u know should be little more but I didn't wanna add the humidifier Bc didn't want to spike so high figured it would be worse and temps range from 75 to 81

That humidity range is fine, don't know how it stays that low in a tent without a dehuey? Are you running central heating? Again if temps don't vary at least ten degrees they are sacrificing those carbos, it needs them to pack on weight. Match you fertilizer dosage to the growth of the plant, a seedling a few weeks old requires minimal feeding as does a plant in the last couple weeks of flower. Higher dosages during stretch phase just use that 6-4-4 throughout flower and you should be fine. Cheers
