HELP! Too dry...or too wet?

Hi All -

I'm a newb and I've hit a bump. Please have a peek at my photos. I've been struggling for about a year with this. I'm growing indoors under SpiderFarmer SF1000 lights. Prior to November 2024 I was using HPS lights and I was having same results. I get my girls to the one-month stage, and then they go wilty. I know I was over-watering earlier, but it sure doesn't seem like it now. I am using FoxFarm Ocean Forest soil, but I was having same results with FoxFarm Happy Frog soil. I am using Fox Farm Big Bloom plant food diluted to 25% of label for seedlings, and then 50% of label for vegetative.

The healthy lady in the picture is now spending the warm, sunny afternoons outdoors, and she seems to like it. (I'm in Arizona and it's 72 degrees and sunny today.) I am watering her sparingly and I have just moved her to vegetative strength Fox Farm fertilizer.

I water and ferilize with RO water that is 6.5 pH. That pH level is maintained after mixing fertilizer solution.

I don't see any signs of fungus or pests.

It seems like I'm really close to getting this right. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Most respectfully...

You said you have been watering sparingly. The only time I've had a plant look like that was from underwatering outdoor.

It does look a tad dry.

Gently water around the soil in a circle around the outside of the canopy. No runoff.
