What kind of water are you using? Are you growing in perlite with soil? What is the soil mixture?

Comfortably numb!
IMHO, with your PH values your are growing in soil, yes? I only nute mine once a week. You might be overdoing it (every 2-3 days).
The fact that perlite doesn’t hold water is why it is so useful in a hydroponic system. However, if you use perlite mostly as a soil mix you will need drip systems or bucket systems (hempy) to keep it wet or your plants will droop.
A Hempy bucket is a simple non-transparent bucket with a hole in its side, filled with perlite and coconut coir soil mix. its essentially tricking your plant into thinking it found a natural water pocket at the bottom of the Hempy bucket. Hempy's don't wilt and holds its turgor pressure.
Positive pressure inside cells is contained by the cell wall, producing turgor pressure in a plant. Turgor pressure ensures that a plant can maintain its shape. A plant's leaves wilt when the turgor pressure decreases and revive when the plant has been watered correctly.

it looks like the water in the bottom of those pots are dry. maybe fill up the tub and bottom water till you get the hang of it.
