Couple of things here... first, your pH is too high, it needs to be brought down to between 6.0 and 6.4 - 6.2 is the "sweet spot" .... Secondly, it doesn't sound like you're actually giving her enough water and, at the same time, overwatering her... which probably doesn't make sense to you but overwatering is the state of being constantly wet so if you're giving her water every day, that's probably keeping her soil much too wet... plus, giving her such little amounts of water every day isn't getting the excess nutes and built up salts out of the soil ... You should water only when the soil is completely dry - lift up the pot, you'll be able to tell if there's any moisture in it at all and, if there is, don't water/feed. If it's super lightweight, she needs something and you should be giving her enough to have 10-20% run out of the bottom of the pot. (Test the pH of the water that runs off and that will give you a good idea of the pH in the soil.) You've transitioned her to bloom nutes but there may be a lockout occuring, either from the pH or from excess salts/nutes or from perhaps giving her too much nitrogen in the last stage of veg... so the best I can advise here is for you to do a thorough flush and get her back to "square one". You're growing in 5 gallon pots so you should run 15 gallons of pH'd water through each pot and then let them dry out. Once they're dry and needing something else, you can resume your nutes but only 1/2 strength for the first feed. If any of your nutes has a high nitrogen content, cut it in half for the rest of the grow - the others, you can resume your normal strength the second time you feed them. Good luck!

Any form of downward curling usually indicates overwatering or overfeeding and since the plant doesn't have any signs of overfeeding, your definitely overwatering.
