Do you always run under 75 degrees? that will cause issues with growth speed and overall plant health. Also bump your light down to about 35 %, increase after stretch.
It's a 2x4 tent that is in my basement. The only way to get the tent to the high 70s is to have the light turned almost all the way up. I don't like the idea of having a small heater in the tent. I also realized today that 90% brightness is the same as 100% for my light. As of now, I've lowered the lights to 70% (was 90%) and raised the light up a bit. I'm transplanting tomorrow and only keeping 2 in the tent.

Taken from the center of my tent at canopy height with the current light setup. Using a uni t lux meter connected to the ppfd meter app. I know accuracy is debated, but I'm just trying to familiarize myself with as much as I can.

This is probably a late reply but I had the same issues as far a burnt tips and tacoing I turned my light down a couple notches to 2 notches above 0 and it looks like they are recovering the new growth is looking better it's only been a couple days. Plus you can water a couple plants and see if they perk up at least you'll know it's not under watering.

If you can't get the temperature up, decrease light intensity so you can move it closer without giving it more light dli than it can handle right now and also it'll be closer to your heat source (the light).

I was kinda thinking the opposite. Turn the light up but raise it. That way it heats the tent a bit more but isn't too much dli since I raised the light. I'm not disagreeing with....just explaining my thought process.

Jd I am with you on this because that's been my experience also. In the winter here in Michigan yeah I can use the photone app to keep the par the same. And raise the light turning it up keeps the temperature up during lights on and cools off for some nice colors during lights off.

Plants are looking a little better. I transplanted two into 5 gal pots. Those two are going to live in the tent. I'm going to put another in a 5 gal pot and put it outside....the other three will be going to a new home tomorrow.

1 gallon of water between those 6 pots at that stage every other day seems like underwatering to me. I'm going with "every other day" because "maybe every other day or so" is pretty hard to use objectively.
I was going to say the exact opposite, that’s 20 oz of water per plant, every other day, seem like too much water.as has been said, you need to let them dry back until the pots are light, then water thoroughly, and don’t water again until the pot is light again. The first few pics show “puffy” leaves, which indicates overwatering
