Pic heavy thread and long post, but I could really use some advice for fixing my setup

Might be the lights but you are looking heavy on the nitrogen.
Dark green and the tips pointing down is what makes me say that.

Didn't know that was what was causing otherwise green looking leaves to point down at the tips. I didn't *think* I fed them too much (only once in flower). I've been feeding them very lightly (maybe a 1/3 of the recommended dose). But I couldn't figure out why they would point down at the tips and still be green and appear to have no other symptoms.

Most autos are so touchy it seems of there is any slight problems and you can cut yield in half for each set of issues ie . Re-pot lose half your yield. soil too hot lose half or over water it you've guessed it ÷2 . Pretty soon you've got 10g plant hanging .

Yeah, this is going to suck. They've each grown around 2" as of this morning, so I guess that's something in the positive column. At this point 10g a plant is going to seem like the lottery.

Out of curiosity, have you carefully checked all your plants for pests?

Yes, very much so. I check about 3 times a day. Once before work, once after, once at night. Checking for bugs and monitoring temp and humidity. Only issue was gnats which was solved by Neem oil. Shit got rid of them in just 2-3 days. And the soil got a light coat of DE.

1 thing you said that struck me, and I didn't read any further comments.

You say you let them Completely dry out???

BAD IDEA.

If they dry completely out, you are concentrating the dissolved solids as they are now, non hydrated and concentrated.

Then when you water the soil it will release concentrated dissolved solids, it BURNS THE PLANTS. PH fluctuations, and other things.
Also it could be they are overwatered. Not a lot causes the leaves to curl. Over fert, and over watering being 2.

It could be overwatered because the soil is to heavy, and not drying out fast enough. Choking your plant, and probably mucking with nutrient intake.
