you must be experiencing nute lockout.
I'll take a guess and say overwatering is locking out nutes

young plants need no ferts till 4 weeks and you have given them a ton of stuff it sounds like, and they dont seem to be taking the nutes.

instead of more watering, try to foliar feed the plants with your mister, dilute the ferts 50% and spray both sides of they leaves.

resist watering as long as you can (when the plants droop)

I'm curious about the soil, the name "StayGreen" caught my eye .Is there ferts pre-added to this soil?, and if so whats the NPK rating? are they time released.

If you have a nute build up or lock out, ur gonna have to flush your soil with clean water and your problem should go away. I would do it immediatly if the leaves get worse. letting your plant sit in the same mix and foiler feeding will not help esp when ur using more nutes. when u got a burn going u want to add just water. Your plant doesnt look overwatered, u would get a droop just as if you didnt water. It looks like its just got a nute lock out making the braches little weak. It really doesnt look bad at all though. most ppl wouldnt worry about it too much.
