Raise light all the way up and check PH of the water, and water it when the first 1" of soil is dry. Also if this is in veg mode not sure I would use HPS. What is your light schedule? This plant will need some rest looks really stressed.

light schedule is 18-6 .. i keep the fan going 24hand i alway check 2" deep in the soil with my finger to see if its dry before watering--- ph is alway 6.30 ... my wife take care of my plants for 2 week (cause i work out of the province) so i alway fill 4-5 big jugs of water with a ph of 6.30 , the jugs are sitting there until she use them so i dont know if the ph can change just by sitting there..

Yes, your ph will change as it sits. Your soil ph level is more important. Hard to tell what is going on at this point but not adding in some Cal/mag may be part of your issue.

I would go less on the lights 16-8, I think its too much for that tent especially with issues going on, and I would get them some liquid nutes like Alaskan kelp or fish fertilizer something like 5-5-5. I would also back off on the stuff you are using now.

Just for clarity I think dude above mentioned the three day schedule.
Its always a red flag when I`m talking to someone and i hear they have a hard fast water schedule.
Plants use more or less water as needed.
That`s how I water, as needed.

1 tablespoon?? that's 15mls per gallon of each??

that don't sound good

when you say flora grow and micro grow what are you referring to??

general hydroponics has a 3 part

grow
micro
bloom

and they have a 1 part

floragrow for veg and flora nova for bloom

so which are you using???

either way 15mls per gallons is a shit load too much

give me some clarification and I can tell you how to mix your nutes proper

when i started feeding them , i gave them half of the streng of "mild vegetative"(1/2) tablespoon per gallon of flora grow and micro once a week for 2 weeks and then the third week i gave them 1tablespoon of grow and micro .... and then i burnt them .... that what it says on the lable in the back of the bottles and there also a mixture for agressive growth that i didnt do cause i knew it was too much...

question... i got some CALIMAGIC, how often do i have to use this?

Nutrient is such an odd industry. One of the few industries where following the instructions loses them business every day. I ran into issues with a simmiliar I'd i use half of what they say on there I'll be safe method as well. Then satori helped me. Now I'm almost to my first harvest. He will get you going in the right direction.
