I'm going to be blunt as it is late. Please overlook.
You have a cal/mag deficiency and are watering at too low a ph. Also under watered as a result if not cause.
Correct this and grow to 1/2 - 5/8 your minimum clearance from lights. Then Flip.
How I would address. Get opinions.
Best wishes.

Well figure they are probably going to double in height...If height is an issue you could make a scrog and weave the entire 2 x 4 area full, like this, (not my pic) and then as they stretch you weave and fill the empty spots...Perfect for low ceiling height and to maximize your space.

I agree on a magnesium deficiency, that you could correct with Epsom salts

Still have PH issue for uptake creating the issue.

So pretty much up my PH? , I have some cal mag and I agree I have been under feeding them

They are fed well from my point of view. Just low PH. What are you Ph'ing to now? And water source?

Is your pen adjustable? If it opens for batteries it is. Find a PDF online for adjustment screw. In the meantime, pour 1/2 cup distilled into a clean coffee cup. Add 1 Tsp baking soda. It is a ph of 9.0 everytime! Easy cheap check of accuracy. Always rinse vigorously in distilled after use. Then blow dry.
Try that and give me numbers. The distilled is your major cause though.

Why is it a major cause ?

No mineral content. But PH is too low. Dark green and lack of cal/mag uptake. I grow roots through PH control. Made life easier since.

Could I still use with correcting the Ph? And should I feed it an entire gallon ?

I'd use tap to be honest. Just be sure of PH ad PPM to start. You should water to run off every time pot feels light. Use plastic nursery pots next grow. More even wet dry cycle.
And add cal/mag soon...
