Running a lil late on updating, it was a very busy weekend.
Summer is starting to approach and we can definitely feel it. It hit 100 degrees outside for the first time this year. We plan to do something about that heat since its not ideal for these plants.
Other than that, I hope these girls are done stretching, we cannot hang the lights any higher. They are around 4 feet tall, some branches are taller at 50 or 51 inches, really impressed by their stretch.
We also went to our local hydroponics store and talked to someone about the hard water situation. Everyone says just to let the water naturally air out for around 24 hours. Slightly inconvenient but definitely worth giving it a shot if it grows some better tree.
Looks like iron excess. Are you using tap water? It might be kind of hard. The other thing that comes to mind is a minor element lockout due to P or K excess.

This honestly might be it. Didn't know water could be hard, so we checked my local city water quality. Not the best, we asked our local hydroponic shop what we could do. Apparently, leaving the water out for at least a day lets the chlorine and such naturally evaporate away. A bit inconvenient but gonna start doing that and see if it makes a difference.
