1. Use ph 6.2 - 5.8.
2. Water every third day.
3. Need more light. 75 Watt effective is actually about 23 Watts real. Puts out about 800 lumens per bulb. You need
4000-6000 lumens per square foot of floor space within 4 inches of the plant tops.
What is actually happening is you are starving the plants and drowning them.
