The three main challenges new growers face are too much light, too frequent watering, and too much feeding. My guess is that you're dealing with all three, based on plant and leaf shape. If your light is truly pulling 600 watts from the wall, I'd move it to the top of the tent and dim it to 25% of max intensity. When the leaves pray an hour before darkness, turn up the light a little. Water to runoff only when the pots are light. Feed every fourth watering. (Given that I don't know anything about your soil, your light, your water, your nutes, or your space, that's just a ballpark starting point.) You might look for a seed-to-harvest guide to help get water, light, and nutes balanced. There are some good ones out there...books, forum posts, YouTube videos, etc.

Most feed soil every other feeding or so? Your plants will tell you what they want and don't.
Look into a phone app like https://growlightmeter.com/
I use a $10 water meter to help know what is going on in the pots.

New Simplified Way to Water Marijuana Plants

The other day I had an idea and after testing, it works great. To know if you need to water, get yourself a soil meter. Poke or drill 4 holes in your pot 1/4 way up from the bottom spaced around the pot. Insert the meter probe into the hole and test for moisture. If its dry, then water SLOWLY...

Hi welcome to the Farm.....22 is too cold for them you need 26-27...You can see they're living but not thriving. In soil I water / feed/ water/feed/ ect.....Your pots should dry enough every 3-4 days to require a feed or a water depending on where you are in your cycle....Add heat with lights on only your off temps will be fine...you'll see more vertical growth within a week of adding more heat.

so if i’m in between them temperatures should be okay appreciate your help

Cooler temps promote slow growth.
26 is nice. As they grow larger you can go warmer for sure upto 28 easy.

The higher end of that is better for growth the low end they'll live the upper they thrive...optimal leaf temp is 78f, a room around 80f achieves that. 70 -75 f too cold 76f is min is my belief....The soil stays wet too long with lower temperatures, Add a heat lamp...an oil filled heater, reptile lamp more light, sleeping bag on top of tent, ect...

For temperature and humidity you want to look up the ideal VPD for your stage of growth. Each stage does like certain levels of heat and humidity, but the VPD measurement is most important. For lights you can download the photone app and make sure you have the settings for the type of light you're using applied. Then you can just simply look up the PPFD/DLI for your stage of growth.
