Thanks Bud. I'm using source water. Thankfully I've now found out that I had my levels far too high so I'm doing as advised and rinsing them to get rid of the salts then resuming twice a day feeds. Hopefully caught it in time. That'll teach me not to read the internet lol.

They look like they are stretching a bit... reaching for the light. If it were me I'd lower the light just a bit

Good call jtuag that light is too far away and will induce stretching, bring the light to 24 " above the top growth, then put your arm just above the new groewth and leave it for a minute, if you can keep your arm there comfortably then your plants will love you for it and grow bushy and compact with tight internoding, keep doing it with the light 3 plus feet away and you could end up with triffids and roof scrapers.....

Bring the light down it will be fine Elaine
