Looking at overall canopy state - they are well fed. Plant will utilize/ redirect energy / cannibalize unneeded parts. Your canopy is very dense, so bottom leaves could be salvaged by plant. I would raise lights as others noticed too. Slow release is all about preplaning, if you are not familiar with this line, better use manufacturers guidance.

Tricky 1 this your left with a problem either way, if you raise the light she will stretch more and less light to lower bud sites. Leave the light there and she will still keep growing to some point but will get bud bleaching from the light but she is showing the light is perfect for her atm. Either way is right and wrong in 1 way or another. Good luck.

You need to raise your light. Looks around day 10-14 so shouldn't stretch too much but some plants stretch for 3wks so you may have to take that tent off and hand the light from the ceiling.Thats certainly light.Look at my big plants.I have to strip the bottom half off almost dur to lack of light.They got a lot bigger than I wanted them to this time around as I wasn't up to dealing with them.

Yellowing leaf on the bottom of the plant is nothing to worry about. But the light so close to the top of your plant is. This can lead to foxtailing buds, mold, and burns. Praying isn’t a problem, usually a good sign. But prolonged exposure to the light source that close will be problematic.

1 - leaves down low will go yellow due to lack of direct light, new growth is fine, indicating no need for extra feeding. 2- yes, raise your lights, they are too close and probably causing the "praying".

too little and too much light can have this effect. Trial and error... I think raising your light would be wise.
