First time grower having an issue with a plant

How’s it going first time growing and ran into an issue the tips of my new shoots are clawing down after I topped it. It’s an Indica strain.
Ph level going in is 6.3 and coming out is 6.4.
Using fox farm nutes I’m at day 22 of grow since germinated. I did my first feed 3 days ago and used the following
Big bloom- 3 teaspoon
Grow big- 2 teaspoon
Kangaroots- .5 teaspoons
Wholly Mack- .5 teaspoons
All the nutes were added to a gallon of water starting with big bloom in that order.
Rh- has been between 45-70
And temp has been 65-75 running an 18/6 light schedule
Any help would greatly be appreciated
Only one of my two plants has shown this problem

What is your lights off temperature?
Your soil may be getting too cold at night.

I have a digital meat thermometer. I use it right at lights on to see what night soil temps are. I just stick it either through a drain hole or right through the side of a grow bag.

If your plants are 64 or below they slow way down and cannot transpire correctly.

It's an easy fix usually so I would start there.

Also pH runoff means nothing in soil.
That is used in passive hydro.
What type of soil are you using?
 
Yea I started Wednesday but from what I’ve read growers advise against using it within 30 days of new soil and I just transplanted last Sunday to 3 gallon pots I got a little excited when I got my nutes this past week and decided to give them a dose when I ph’d the mixture it was at 6.4
 
They look a little overfed. Just hit them with regular water next time.
Are you planning on doing a feed, water, feed schedule or a feed, water, water?
 
That actually is making a lot of sense now to me because I moved my box out of my closet and next to an open window and the temp has dropped this past week by about 10 degrees. The only other thing I forgot to mention was is the soil is still moist after 3 days from nutes
 
Why are you using so much bloom nutes in Veg ? I've never used Fox Farms nutes but I have used several other liquid nutes & the Bloom was the one I used least of during Veg. Usually it's more like 2 ml. grow, 1 ml. micro & 1 ml. Bloom. Also with the size they are you should only feed at 1/4 strength till you get about 8" - 10" tall. I think you are over nuting (too strong).

Yeah. They won't drink if they are cold.
 
I was just following what fox farm says on their schedule rookie mistake and just really excited
They have a good schedule. I tend to start light (1/3 dose)and work my way up, especially if they are in Ocean Forest. Happy frog is a more mild soil so you can give them a bit more.
There is really no need to give her anything other than water for a few weeks if she's in fresh Ocean Forest.
It's a well built soil.
