Looking solid mate!

Humidity is quite low though, can you raise it?

I have a humidifier in there, its usally around 65%-75% but when I open the door to the closet I lose all the humidity, thats probably why the RO meter looked so low

So i didn't take any picture, lights are off now but I will take some tomorrow. Im still getting a couple droopy leaves on 2 of 6 of them and Im getting worried. Maybe I just shocked/stunted them a bit and it will take a min to recover. they are on every 2 days water schedule. i didn't come up with that schedule, the plants did, that's when they feel super light at least. the weird thing about the droopy leaves its only the bottom set, the new growth looks fine and are praying to the ganja god. I will take pics tom night after a watering tom morning, hopefully they will perk up a bit then. thank you everyone who is offering advice and is following along, I appreciate the help.

When you do water them in cups, water until fully saturated. If you're still using the small bulb for lighting, It shouldn't be drying out every two days considering your temps and RH. Try waiting another day , those cups should feel almost weightless before you water again. also, slits don't work well in solos

So I've been experimenting with the watering. I started out everyday and I quickly realized that was not needed. I then got into a every other day watering schedule but then had the droopy leaves. I then did what you suggested and went till the cups went super dry and that was day 3 and that's when they all went limp and that worried me. Yeah they have mostly came back but I still see signs of them needing Viagra. They used to be all soaking in the light, raised up, now I get half and half of that. I also read ur not supposed to completely dry out soil using mycorrhizae So there's that as well. I tried just watering about 80% of what I did before, hopefully that will help out. I think my mistake is these guys are just 9 days old, they don't drink enough water to dry out the cup fast enough so in my saturating the cup, doing the 10-20% run off thing probably isnt the best idea. Maybe more frequent but way way way less water would help? Like u mentioned my humidity isn't a problem, it stays between 60-85% considering it's a small cabinet and a regular size humidifier

If you close out the last two weeks with a very low relative humidity, in the 20-25% range, it seals buds and is great for finish.

Edit: You will also notice an increase in trichs!
