Is my plant gonna make it?

My plant aint looking to good , i had a problem with the leaves curling down to start off with (advised to lay off the watering), i laid off the watering, only watering when the pot felt light.
I started nutes off as recommended building up the dose and only feed nutes every other watering.
I flushed it last week just incase and started again with the nutes (bio bloom).
But the leaves are still really dry and crispy and really dark looking.
The wardrobe they are in is 16 square foot with 220 watt of cfl lighting all placed between an inch to 4 inches away from the plant.Lights are on 18/6.
I have a 6" oscalating fan in there which is on for around 9 hours a day . Temps are between mid 70 to 80 degrees farenheit.
Tested water and soil ph and its normal.
I also noticed today that some of the stems are purple. It still seems to be creating fresh growth near the bottom of the plant though.
I know a couple of the leaves are burnt where they grew into the light and some are damaged to my dog chewing them (see previous post), but will the plant survive as it is ?
I can if really needs be get it into some sunlight but the window it would be in would only have light from around 7 till 4.
Should i stop nutes completely? I really dont know what the plant is doing but it is still producing.
The plant is autoflowering and is about 6 weeks old.

Plant on the 12th april

It could be a water problem, under or over. I don't think from what you are saying it is over watering. When you water do you let the water
run out of the bottom of each pot?

why wudnt it make it? looks on track to me..what ur light cycle?
Light cycle 18/6 , just worried by the way the leaves look and their so dry , the leaves that were curling under originally are crispy dry and curled right under now, these leaves are towards the top of the plant.

i let the water drain into the saucer , leave them ten minutes and then empty the saucer.

Thanks for your quick replies guys , feeling more positive she`ll make it now :)

Do the leaves absorb less light or react differently when they are dry and crispy? or is that just the plant reacting to something itself ?(if that makes sense)

I think in your case it is going through it's cycle the bottom leaves will die & drop off this is normal. Please don't panic.
Just let your plant do this, it does not need help. Meaning don't you cut them off just let them drop. Pick them up so you don't get mold!
