Wilting branches but everything else looks very healthy...?

I've been looking into this but can't figure out what's going on and would really appreciate any help.

I water every 2-3 days w/ about a gallon of water in an a self watering pot base and another half gallon through the medium to moisten it. they are in flowering right now so I water only when lights are on to not disturb them. My temps get 9 degrees cooler when lights are off, humidity is around 65%-70%.

I started to think maybe they need more water in flowering so I've been watering every 2 days consistently now, as soon as I see the top of the medium dry out I'll water. I checked back this morning and now there is another part of a branch that is wilting. It seems like the water didn't really help much.

Now, I'm starting to think it's unfortunately root rot because of this. I have another plant in here w this one that I take care of the exact same and there are no issues like this whatsoever on that one. Furthermore, the rest of this plant looks very healthy.

(Also, the blurred branch in the back that is completely dead was my fault, I accidentally ripped a side stem off of the main stem)

If anyone could take a look at this and let me know what you think I would really really appreciate it.

When I had root rot, the leaves curled down. But if you checked the roots and they smell bad, pull the plant out of your medium and knock off all the bad roots and soak roots in H2O2 for fifteen minutes and repot in new soil. I sprinkle some cinnamon on the roots, but rooting agent works well too.

You never specified what the temperature was, only that it's 9° cooler during lights off.
Yea humidity sky rockets when lights go out. Also maybe lights are not providing enough or fading out. Think its something to do with roots though like yall stated.
