What's wrong with my plant !!!!!??!

I am using a smart pot, there is a fan circulating the whole room, and the Ph is at 6 every time I water it. (Growing in coco coir)

on a 18/6 schedule

it only dries out every week and half maybe even 2 weeks but even if it's still a little moist l, I water it anyway because I'm afraid with the coco coir, that Natural salts are building up. When I water, I do a 20% runoff but then the plant stays wet for a very long time and again, has stagnant water at the bottom. I even poked extra holes in the bottom of the smart pot for extra drainage. HELP !!!

Your coco is not draining well obviously. I'd like to know what kind of coco it is. Was it from a brick or a bag?

At any rate, adding perlite helps your media drain. I don't see any in your pot.

Also, why is the media so dark near the stalk? Did you top dress some earthworm castings?
 
You need to be warmer the plants aren't thriving , with heat they will if not auto's let them go 24 hours a day veg light see if that wakes them up before adding stuff remember! first aid first , we can save them and your grow will take off
 
Keep taking pic's you're doing great with a hick-up we all do it ...I grow hydro but I grow all plants and pot is so forgiving the best I've seen.

Nice meeting you Shay! I'm sending healing thoughts as I type, to your babies!!! Ohmmmmmm! let it be a hair warmer mmmmmmmm!
 
It agree it looks a little overwatered, and I think that's related to the fact that it's taking so long to dry after each watering. It should only take a few days before you need to water again! You already mentioned you have good airflow. What is the temperature and humidity in there? If it's cool and/or humid, that may explain why your plant isn't drinking enough. But besides the droopiness they look good overall! They'll definitely be able to bounce back!

Ok so I still haven't needed to water my plant since I posted a few days ago. I attached a picture of it now and also a pic of the thermostat I have in the room

Also, if I wait for it to dry out and it takes almost 2 weeks, is the PH level of the stagnant water at the bottom going change? Even though it's not dry, I will still water it a little so the roots can get some fresh oxygen and balanced pH water. Is it ok to be doing that ?
 
First thing i thought when i seen the picture was overwatering, especially when you stated how long between watering. Has to be a soil/drainage problem, should dry out sooner. I would myself replace the pot with a regular easy drain pot. Would also transplant to a bigger pot and remove as much as possible the older medium (with as little stress possible) and replace with some that others have suggested for better drainage. Use a tonic to reduce plant shock and get those roots going.
