Sounds like not enough water and also something  is making the leaves age
prematurely, as what you describe is normal for an old leaf.  i think the
amount of light you are giving which is good, is fooling the plants into
trying to be metabolically active, and there is not enough water for them.
i used to grow ONLY indoors under lights, and  never withheld water like
this, even for succulents from the Namib desert, nor cacti.

also i never used a water meter, because for some reason, i don't trust them.
