How often do you water? and from where are you getting your water? it looks like overwatering, and maybe watering with clorinated (fresh tap water) water? temperature? Humidity?
too much water
those stick meters are junk get something better, its more money but will produce more in the long run
your grow room looks dirty, are those rat turds in the corner by the CO2?
what kind of soil is that?

I dont think its over watering... looking at the soil in the first few picks that soil is bone dry. And look at the leaves how light green they are.
Figure a plant that size should be watered every 2-3 days, with nutes being fed every other watering atleast.
If you can take your tap water and put it in the room not in the grow room but the same room as your plants, allow the water to sit for and adjust to room temp.
tap water is not bad for a plant PERIOD... it can be bad for bacterias and what not, but more than 80% of the US water supply no longer uses Chlorine, they use Chloramine and it does not break down like Chlorine.

I humbly disagree that tap water won't hurt your plant if you don't aerate first (leave sit out for a day or two). and just because 80% of the country doesn't use chlorine, doesn't mean you aren't in the 20% that does. Chloramine kills bacteria, Soil mediums need bacterial growth for proper plant vigor. So actually yes you will harm your plants with chloramine indirectly, by killing off your benificial bacteria in your soil.
I water when the pot becomes lightweight (due to lack of water) you can also take a finger and feel down about an inch and check it's dry, it's not so much about how much water you use, but rather how often you water. I generally try to water until I get a little run off from the bottom of the pot (I hope you have drainage holes in the bottom) Cannabis needs oxygen for the roots, so keeping the soil constantly wet will suffocate the roots.
How hot is your room during the hotest time of the day? it could also be heat stress. Your plants don't want temperatures above 90*F or so (over 100*F and you will have some pretty bad problems)
