Any thoughts on why I have so much curling on the ends of my fan leaves? This started happening long before I fed with Gaia Green Power Bloom.

Need to raise the humidity, at 4 week, should we aim for 65%~. Ph’d your water, would be really ideal... just to rule that out...you don’t need a too much precise one... I started with a 20$ one till I figured battery cannot be replace (and I’ve got a 60$ deal on an hanna hi-9811-5 I use both to figure if they are out of line now)... but it did the work and you end up figuring your ph is way too high most of the time( at least for me )
I ended up changing watering schedule (less frequently) and moving Spider Farms SF4000 LED light to the top of the tent. Also, changed my temperature to stay around 23C instead of 25C.
I discovered that my watering frequency was way too high. Also, I was not watering ENOUGH when I was watering.
I think the combined issues, along with my light being far too close for the majority of the grow, led to small plants. Live and learn! Looking forward to the next grow already. Thanks for the advice everyone.
Here are the plants two weeks from harvest. I know, quite small Autos.
