What is wrong with this plant? (good pics)

Hey guys, can anyone tell me what I am likely doing wrong here? The leaves are curling down, and turning dark at the very tips, growth has also been slow lately and some of the lower leaves are yellowing. At first I thought the drooping was due to overwatering, so I havent watered it in a little over two days, but I haven't seen an improvement. Im not using any nutrients at all. just dechlorinated 6.0 ph water with a tiny bit of superthrive. Any ideas?

oh, and little clare as I call her in sitting in a mix of potting soil, worm castings, and perlite

how old are they?Wat nutes are u using? wats the temps like?humidity?wat kinda lighting?
She is about 2 months old, and has given several very nice clones along the way. I am trying to keep her small btw, using lst, a medium size pot, and taking clones whenever one top is blocking light from another top. I am not using any nutes. I dont know what the temp and humidity are, I can buy a thermometer / hydrometer today if you really think its a problem, but I doubt that is the cause because there are several other plants in the same conditions doing just beautifully. The lighting is basically all CFL, she is sitting directly below two 23 watt bulbs, one 6500k and the other 2700k, as well as one LED block with 25 diodes. She also gets light from the main lighting apparatus which is about 5 inches above and a foot to the side of the plant. That fixture consists of two more 23 w cfls, 4 tube cfls (not positive of wattage) and one 3 way cfl that is a little bigger than the 23 watters. hope that helps

looks like not enough water maybe. my plants started drooping, and then i realized the rock wool didnt reach the water in my bubbleponics tank. i watered them and they were back up in a day

I actually decided to give her a break from watering because she had been watered (accidentally) like 3 times in 3 days, but now that she hasnt been watered in three I will give her a nice flush. Im thinking I may have mixed in a bit too much worm casting anyway so this could help if that is a problem too
