I would venture to say that 400 ml is not enough for feeding. are you nuting every time as well?
looks like the soil dries to fast for the plant to absorb the range of nutes-see leaves-this also leaves the soil with a high EC, fert salts. I would flush her with about 6 gallons and immediately feed her with 1/2 strength dosage. she should perk right back up. you need to water enough to have sufficient runoff. make sure the water is not to ocold nor too warm. room temp is fine.

she would also do better in a 5 gallon container prior to flowering her, which should be in the next 2 weeks. once she picks up, take ur clones and transfer to larger pail than in a week flower her. my 2 cents

That plant needs water.. I bet you are getting mad run-off because that soil looks too dry, you need something underneath the planter to retain the water, eventually letting the dirt pull it up. Do this and keep your watering schedule, don't use nutes every watering, I have no idea unless I look at a conversion table what 400mL of water would be, I use about 1/2 gallon to water a 5 gallon planter every third day. Feeding on the third watering. In your next soil mixture add some more perlite for some much needed oxygen to the roots.

FYI - if your moisture level is ok - look for tiny white bugs or signs of webbing in the plant !!
Your pics look like a plant with spider mites . Treat with a Neem oil spray or Pyracanthium insecticide.

please xplain why you would get mad run off if the soil was dry? In the pictures you can clearly see the 'something' to retain the water. As for the conversion, you are using about 8 cups to his 2 cups.

Well from my experience if you try and water when the soil has little to no moisture to it, it will run out of the planter faster than the soil can soak it up. I was talking like a plastic saucer to retain what runoff there is, so when he does excessively water it will eventually get back in the soil, which I see he has. But 2 cups per watering is definitely not enough for those planters. I would suggest watering those twice today and giving them nutes in a day or two.
